Abstract
Objective: To observe the clinical effect of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment on patients with early postoperative inflammatory small bowel obstruction (EPISBO). Methods: 86 EPISBO cases admitted from October 2021 to October 2023 were grouped based on the double-blind method. The control group received conventional comprehensive treatment with Western medicine, and the observation group received integrated treatment with traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The clinical treatment effectiveness, general observation indicators, inflammatory factors, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups after treatment. Results: The total effective rate of clinical treatment of the observation group was higher than that of the control group. The post-operative bowel sound recovery time, anal exhaust time, first defecation time, and hospitalization time of the observation group were shorter than those of the control group. The post-treatment level of inflammatory factors of the observation group was lower than that of the control group. These results were statistically significant (P < 0.05). There were no serious adverse reactions in either group. Conclusion: Implementing integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy can help post-appendectomy patients with EPISBO improve clinical treatment effectiveness, accelerate symptom improvement, and reduce inflammation without causing serious adverse reactions. Therefore, it is worthy of promotion and clinical application.
