Abstract： Objective To investigate the effect of chiropractic therapy on the recovery of gastrointestinal function after gynecological abdominal surgery. Methods Totally 60 patients who meet the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into control group and study group, with 30 cases in each group. The control group was given routine nursing, while the Study group received chiropractic therapy on the basis of routine nursing. The postoperative time to first anal exhaust, time to first defecation and length of hospital stay were compared between two groups. Results There was no significant difference in time to first defecation between two groups (P＞0.05). The postoperative time to first anal exhaust in the study group was shorter than that in the control group (P＜0.05)). There was a significant difference in length of stay between two groups(P＜0.05).
