Abstract:Objective To investigate the influence of auricular acupoint combined with Zusanli pressing needle on gastrointestinal function after laparoscopic surgery in patients with cervical cancer.Methods A total of 92 patients with cervical cancer who underwent laparoscopic surgery in the department of gynaecology of Binzhou Central hospital from October 2016 to June 2018 were selected and divided into the control group (46 cases) and the observation group (46 cases) according to the random number table method.The control group was treated with routine nursing, while the patients in the observation group were given auricular acupoints combined with Zusanli pressing needle on the basis of routine nursing.The recovery time of bowel sounds, the first anal exhaust time, the first defecation time, gastrointestinal adverse reactions and postoperative motilin content were compared between the two groups.Results The recovery time of bowel sounds, the first time of anal exhaust and the first time of defecation in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group, with significant difference (P<0.01).The incidences of gastrointestinal adverse reactions such as abdominal distention, nausea and emesis in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, with significant difference (P<0.05).The content of motilin in the observation group on the day of operation and the first to third days after operation was significantly higher than that in the control group, with significant difference (P<0.05).Conclusion Auricular acupoint combined with Zusanli pressing needle can effectively speed up the recovery time of gastrointestinal function in women with cervical cancer after laparoscopic surgery, reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions, increase the content of motilin, and promote postoperative rehabilitation, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
