Summary

Gastrointestinal dysfunction is a common complication after abdominal gynecologic oncology surgery. There are numerous studies in the literature addressing the management of bowel function in the postoperative period. Unfortunately, the strategies in the literature are not one hundred percent successful, and complete prevention of postoperative bowel dysfunction cannot be achieved. There is no study in the literature demonstrating that abdominal exercises given to patients undergoing surgery for gynecological malignancies in the preoperative period improve gastrointestinal function in the postoperative period.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of an exercise plan, including abdominal massage and rectal digital stimulation, performed before gynecologic oncology surgery on postoperative bowel functions.

Conditions

  • Paralytic Ileus
  • Nausea
  • Defecation Disorder

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Abdominal Exercise (digital rectal stimulation, abdominal massage)

The recommended bowel exercise program consisted of three steps: 1. Patients will perform a 2-3 minute massage starting from the cecum approximately 20-30 minutes after breakfast, moving along the colon. 2. Patients will assume a suitable position and perform circular massage on the anal walls with their finger for approximately 30 seconds (digital rectal stimulation). 3. Patients will try to defecate while sitting on the toilet.
