Method: Ninety 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. Resuits: Compared 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). Conclusion: Simotang oral liquid and glycerine enema both could benefit the restoration of anal exhaust and BS after abdominal operation.展开更多
