Abstract

The influence of dietary fiber enteral nutrition support on promoting the recovery of intestinal function in patients who underwent gynecological laparoscopic surgery was investigated. To this end, patients were given dietary fiber (treatment group) or nondietary (control group) fiber enteral nutrition support after surgery, and the recovery time of bowel sounds, the time of first anal exhaustion, and defecation between the two groups were compared. After surgery, the recovery time of bowel sounds, the time of first anal exhaust and defecation in the treatment group were shorter than the control group (P < 0.05). Serum D-lactic acid, diamine oxidase, c-reactive protein, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and procalcitonin levels in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). However, albumin, pre-albumin, and transferrin levels in the treatment group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The occurrence of postoperative intestinal complications in the treatment group was lower relative to the control group (P < 0.05). To sum up, enteral nutrition containing dietary fiber can improve the intestinal barrier function and nutritional status of patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery, reduce the inflammatory response, and accelerate the recovery of gastrointestinal function.
