“…The rapid recovery of intestinal motility after gynecological laparoscopies (GLs) is crucial, as it serves as a predictor for favorable postoperative clinical outcomes ( Greenwood-Van et al, 2017 ). Conversely, delayed recovery of intestinal motility can impede postoperative recovery progress, resulting in increased gastrointestinal symptoms and higher treatment costs ( Wu et al, 2022 ).…”

“…Several approaches have been utilized to facilitate the recovery of intestinal motility, such as chewing gum, low-frequency electrical stimulation, coffee consumption, et al, although no consensus has been reached on this issue at present. Some of these methods are still unclear in effect; some are complex in operation; and some need to be combined with other enhanced recovery methods ( Gungorduk et al, 2020 ; Turkay and Yavuz, 2020 ; Wu et al, 2022 ). Modifying microbiota-gut-brain interactions through probiotics has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for gut motility disorders ( Tillisch et al, 2013 ).…”

ObjectiveThe primary objective of this study is to investigate the mechanism by which Bacillus coagulans TBC169 accelerates intestinal function recovery in patients who have undergone gynecological laparoscopic surgery, using metabolomics and gut microbiota analysis.MethodsA total of 20 subjects were selected and randomly divided into two groups: the intervention group (n = 10) receiving Bacillus coagulans TBC169 Tablets (6 pills, 1.05 × 108 CFU), and the control group (n = 10) receiving placebos (6 pills). After the initial postoperative defecation, fecal samples were collected from each subject to analyze their gut microbiota and metabolic profiles by high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis and untargeted metabonomic.ResultsThere were no statistically significant differences observed in the α-diversity and β-diversity between the two groups; however, in the intervention group, there was a significant reduction in the relative abundance of unclassified_Enterobacteriaceae at the genus level. Furthermore, the control group showed increased levels of Holdemanella and Enterobacter, whereas the intervention group exhibited elevated levels of Intestinimonas. And administration of Bacillus coagulans TBC169 led to variations in 2 metabolic pathways: D-glutamine and D-glutamate metabolism, and arginine biosynthesis.ConclusionThis study demonstrated that consuming Bacillus coagulans TBC169 after gynecological laparoscopic surgery might inhibit the proliferation of harmful Enterobacteriaceae; mainly influence 2 pathways including D-glutamine and D-glutamate metabolism, and arginine biosynthesis; and regulate metabolites related to immunity and intestinal motility; which can help regulate immune function, maintain intestinal balance, promote intestinal peristalsis, and thus accelerate the recovery of intestinal function.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effects of low-frequency electrical stimulation combined with abdominal acupoint massage on the recovery of gastrointestinal function following cesarean section. Methods: A total of 60 postoperative patients were randomly assigned to either the control group (group A, n = 30) or the observation group (group B, n = 30) between January 2021 to December 2021. The control group received conventional interventions, while the observation group received a nursing intervention consisting of low-frequency electrical stimulation combined with abdominal acupoint massage starting at 10–12 hours after the operation. The primary outcomes included the time to first bowel sound, time to flatus, time to defecation, and time to lactation. The secondary outcomes included postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores, the rate and severity of abdominal distension, and serum levels of prolactin (PRL) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). Results: The observation group had significantly earlier restoration of bowel sounds, passage of first flatus, and first defecation than the control group (p < 0.001). The VAS scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after the operation (p < 0.001). The incidence of abdominal distension in the observation group (13.3%, 4/30) was lower than that in the control group (36.7%, 11/30) (p < 0.05). Furthermore, compared to the control group, the observation group showed a significant increase in serum PRL levels and a significant decrease in VIP levels after treatment (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The application of low-frequency electrical stimulation combined with abdominal acupoint massage after cesarean section can expedite the recovery of gastrointestinal function and reduce pain and complications, such as abdominal distension. This approach can be used in clinical practice to accelerate the recovery of intestinal function after cesarean section. Clinical Trial Registration: The study was registered with the ISRCTN registry (https://www.isrctn.com/), registration number: ISRCTN16533743.
