Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the recovery of gastrointestinal motility after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and open cholecystectomy (OC). METHODS: Motilin (MOT), gastrin (GAS), electrogastrogram (EGG), the peristaltic sound recovery timing (PSRT) and the anorectum exhaust timing (AET) were determined in 30 patients having LC and 18 patients having OC. RESULTS: MOT, GAS, EGG frequency and EGG amplitude on the first, second and third day after operation in LC group were not significantly different in comparison with preoperative data (P > 0.05), but significant difference on the first and second postoperative day compared with preoperative data and data of the the LC group (P < 0.05). The PSRT and AET in the LC group were much shorter in comparison with the OC group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The recovery of gastrointestinal motility after LC is earlier than OC, which justifies early feeding for patients after LC.
