Summary

The aim of this study to investigate the effects of connective tissue massage (CTM) on pain, intestinal peristaltism and functionality after total laparoscopic (TLH) or abdominal hysterectomy (TAH). Patients who underwent TLH randomly group as TLH-CTM (n=15) and TLH control (n=16), and TAH randomly group as TAH-CTM (n=14) and TAH control (n=15). The postoperative daily monitoring sheet, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), time of intestinal peristaltism employees to collect research data.
