The impact of surgery on the gastrointestinal tract includes the impact of the surgery itself and the impact of anesthesia. Common anesthesia include local anesthesia, spinal anesthesia, and general anesthesia. Local anesthesia surgery generally has little impact on the gastrointestinal tract, and you can eat normally before and after surgery. Recovery from neuraxial anesthesia and general anesthesia depends on the type of surgery. In the case of non-gastrointestinal surgery, you can gradually resume your diet after passing gas. It is best to follow the doctor's advice when recovering from gastrointestinal surgery. Commonly used clinical methods to promote gastrointestinal recovery include: chewing gum after surgery (which has been included in the diagnosis and treatment guidelines abroad), getting out of bed as soon as possible, taking Simo Tang oral medicine, Tongbianling capsules and other Chinese patent medicines, and Neostigmine. Sanli injection and so on.

Generally speaking, flatulence indicates that gastrointestinal function has been restored. Whether to defecate or not depends on the patient's own eating status, intestinal smoothness, etc. Don't pursue laxative treatments.
