Effect of Dai-kenchu-to on Obstructive Bowel Disease in Children

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, dai-kenchu-to (DKT), on obstructive bowel diseases in children. We have treated 46 pediatric patients with various obstructive bowel diseases with DKT: six patients with postoperative ileus, 12 with large abdominal surgery (including three neonates), one with ano-rectal anomaly, three with Hirschsprung's disease, two with functional bowel obstructions, one with SMA syndrome, and 21 patients with chronic constipation.

“…DKT is used conventionally for abdominal distention in Japan. It has been shown recently that DKT is useful for treatment of postoperative ileus, postoperative intestinal paralysis, irritable bowel syndrome and pediatric constipation (Ito et al, 2002;Ohya et al, 2003;Endo et al, 2006). DKT seems to improve postoperative quality of life (QOL) of patients after surgery for gastrointestinal disorders, since it makes possible for patients to shorten their duration of hospitalization (Endo et al, 2006).…”

“…Since its approval as a prescription drug in 1986 by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, DKT has been widely used by gastroenterologists and surgeons for the treatment of various gastrointestinal disorders, such as postoperative ileus and obstructive bowel disease (Itoh et al, 2002;Ohya et al, 2003;Kono et al, 2009). Consequently, the gastrointestinal effects of DKT have become a vibrant area of clinical and basic research in recent years.…”
