Effect of Early Postoperative Eating and Chewing Gum on Gastrointestinal Function Recovery of Patients with Posterior Lumbar Fusion Surgery
Objective To explore effect of early postoperative feeding and chewing gum on gastrointestinal function recovery of patients with lumbar posterior fusion surgery.Methods The paper chose 101 patients with lumbar disc herniation with surgical treatment in Union Medical College Shenzhen Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from November 2019 to October 2020,and divided them into group A and B randomly.50 cases in group B were treated with routine intervention,51 cases in group A with early postoperative eating and chewing gum intervention.Surgical outcomes,nutritional status,and overall incidence of complications were observed in group A and B.Results After intervention,surgical outcomes of group A were better than group B(P<0.05).NRS2002 scores of group A were lower than group B,Hb and albumin were higher than group B(P<0.05),Incidence of complications in group A was lower than group B(15.68%vs 34.00%)(P<0.05).Conclusion Early feeding and chewing gum intervention can improve gastrointestinal function recovery and nutritional status of patients with posterior lumbar fusion surgery significantly,which has lower incidence of postoperative complications including malignancy.
