Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients were randomly assigned to two groups, receiving TEAS andno stimulation respectively. Interventions were given 30min before anesthesia and 1, 2 , 3 day after surgery, lasted 30min each time . The acupoints of TEAS group are bilateral ST36/SP6 combined with PC6/LI4, and the control group only attach electrodes without electric current. The frequency of TEAS is set to 2/10 Hz. After surgery, the time of meeting discharge criteria, first flatus and defecation were recorded. Score of PONV, life quality, sleep quality and VAS of pain were evaluated 24, 48 and 72h after surgery. The postoperative complications, re-exploration, cost of hospitalization and adverse events were also recorded.
