Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture at Zusanli(ST36)points combined with Sanhuang Decoction fumigation for postoperative hemorrhoid wound healing and repair.Methods A total of 110 postoperative hemorrhoidal patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group,55 cases in each group.The control group was treated by Potassium Permanganate Solution for sitz bath,and the observation group was treated by acupuncture at Zusanli points combined with Sanhuang Decoction fumigation on the basis of the control group's treatment.The course of treatment for the two groups covered 14 days.After two weeks of treatment,the clinical efficacy of the two groups were evaluated,and changes in the anal canal resting pressure,anal canal systolic blood pressure,anal maximal squeeze pressure,as well as the wound granulation tissue,wound area,wound effusion,and wound edema,and wound pain scores of the patients were observed before and after the treatment.The changes of levels of tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)and interleukin 6(IL-6)in the two groups before and after treatment were compared.Moreover,the total complication rate and wound healing time of the two groups were compared.Results(1)The total effective rate was 96.36%(53/55)in the observation group and 74.55%(41/55)in the control group.The efficacy of the observation group was superior to that of the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(2)After treatment,the anal canal resting pressure,anal canal systolic blood pressure,anal maximal squeeze pressure of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(3)After treatment,the wound granulation tissue,wound area,wound effusion,and wound edema,and wound pain scores of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(4)After treatment,levels of serum TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly improved in both groups(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(5)The total complication rate of the observation group was 7.27%(4/55),and that of the control group was 27.27%(15/55),and the total complication rate of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(6)The wound healing time of the observation group was significantly shorter than that of the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture at Zusanli points combined with Sanhuang Decoction fumigation for postoperative hemorrhoidal patients can effectively relieve their symptoms such as perianal pain and edema,improve the anal function,reduce inflammatory responses and the incidence of complications,promote wound repair.
