Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) could be high as 60% after liver surgery. Acupoint stimulation has been proved to decrease PONV. In this study, we will investigate the effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation on incidence of PONV after liver surgery.
