Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the effect of Simotang oral liquid and glycerin enema on the patients' bowel sound (BS) restoration and anal exhaust after abdominal gynecological operation.
METHODNinety patients with benign tumor who had undergone gynecological operation were randomly divided into the Simotang group, treated after operation with Simotang oral liquid; the enema group, treated with glycerin enema, and the control group, non-treated. The restoration time of BS and anal exhaust were observed.
RESULTSCompared with the control group, the restoration time of BS and anus exhaust were both significantly shorter in the Simotang group and the enema group, showing statistical significance (P < 0.05); but the difference between the two treated groups was insignificant (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSimotang oral liquid and glycerine enema both could benefit the restoration of anal exhaust and BS after abdominal operation.
