Official title
Application of Auricular Acupuncture Therapy Based on Real-World Studies After Abdominal Surgery
Overview
Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) after surgery mainly occurs after gastrointestinal surgery A functional gastric emptying disorder, clinically characterized by weak or absent gastric peristalsis, gastric motility disorders, or gastric emptying Gastric retention, fullness, nausea and other uncomfortable symptoms caused by delay.This study is based on clinical diagnosis and treatment practice, observing, collecting, and analyzing Whipple surgery, pancreatectomy, and gastric cancer Perioperative data of subtotal resection surgery, mainly observing the diagnosis and treatment of ear acupoints in Whipple surgery, pancreatectomy, and subtotal gastrectomy.The application effect of DGE after resection surgery, exploring the diagnosis and treatment of ear acupoints in Whipple surgery, pancreatic body and tail resection surgery, and Diagnostic value of perioperative related diseases in abdominal surgery such as subtotal gastrectomy, and collection of health records.By comparing and analyzing the ear acupoint information of patients with abdominal tumors, we aim to explore the ear acupoints of the volunteers. The possible relationship between image and resistance specificity and common tumors in the abdominal cavity.
