Abstract:
Although a laparotomy itself may be successful, various complaints, whose organic causes are not definite, occasionally arise afterwards. We report two cases of complaints after abdominal operations successfully treated with kososanryo. The chief complaints were anorexia in Case 1, and anxiety in Case 2. We treated the pathological states in these cases as qi stagnation, or qi obstruction in Japanese-oriental medicine sense. The symptoms in these cases improved soon after administration of kososanryo, which is traditionally used for qi stagnation. On closer investigation, we first report that kososanryo is useful for complaints after abdominal operations. Complaints after various operations lower quality of life and, what is even worse, may cause unreliability of medical treatment. The present cases suggest that Japanese-oriental medicine has therapeutic utility in the therapy of complaints after various operations.
