Abstract:
Delayed healing of abdominal postoperative incision was treated with moxibustion plus warm acupuncture. After routine manipulation, 30 cases were treated with moxibustion with two lighted moxa sticks over the incision. Meanwhile, bilateral Zusanli (ST 36) were selected to insert perpendicularly by filiform needles of 40 mm in length. After arrival of qi, moxibustion with warming needle was given. Thirty-four patients were treated by the surgical routine manipulations. After 2 courses of treatment, the effective rates were 100% and 70.6% respectively.
