Objective：To observe the clinicaleffect of herbalenema and point injection at Zusanlion promoting postoperative intestinal function recovery in perioperative phase.Methods：Divided 292 cases of abdominal operation patients enrolled in the observation into group A，group B，group C and group D randomly，73 cases in each group.All four groups receivedthe postoperative routine therapy， while group B additionally received retention enema with Dachengqi tang， group C point injection at Zusanli，and group D retention enema with Dachengqi tang combined with point injection at Zusanli.Recorded the time of borborygmus recovery， anal exsufflation， defecation， eating， and admission， and observed levels of serum gastrin and motilin respectively in 24 h and 48 h before and after the operation.Results：The time of borborygmus recovery，anal exsufflation， defecation， eating and admission in group B and C was all lower than that in group A， differences being significant(P＜ 0.05).Group B and group C were compared in the time of borborygmus recovery，anal exsufflation， defecation，eating and admission，there being no significance in differences(P ＞ 0.05).The time of borborygmus recovery，anal exsufflation，defecation，eating and admission in group D were alllower than that in group A，B and C，differences being significant(P＜0.05).Levels of serum gastrin and motilin in 24 h and 48 h after the operation in group A were lower than those before the operation，differences being significant(P＜0.05).Levels of serum gastrin and motilin in 24 h and 48 h after the operation in group B，C and D were higher than those before the operation，differences being significant(P ＜ 0.05)，and levels of serum gastrin and motilin in 24 h and 48 h after the operation in group B and C were higher than those in group A synchronously，differences being significant(P＜0.05).Levels of serum gastrin and motilin in 24 h and 48 h after the operation in group D were higher than those in group A，B and C synchronously，differences being significant(P＜ 0.05).Conclusion：Superior to the pure therapy of herbal enema or of point injection at Zusanli，the therapy of herbal enema combined with point injection at Zusanli can improve gastrointestinal hormone secretion and promote the recovery of postoperative intestinal function.
