ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

The etiology of hepatobiliary disease primarily stems from bacterial infection, excessive alcohol consumption and tobacco use, obesity, dietary irregularities, and various other contributing factors.

Research motivation

The motivation indicated notable enhancements in the duration of recovery for eating, defecation, bowel sounds, and flatulence. Additionally, patients displayed a favorable psychological perspective, which effectively bolstered their immune system and expedited the restoration of gastrointestinal function.

Research objectives

The objective is to offer essential interventions and guidance within the clinical setting in order to facilitate the prompt restoration of gastrointestinal function for patients.

Research methods

The participants were categorized into control and study groups based on the extent of surgical intervention.

Research results

The patient exhibited favorable recuperation of gastrointestinal function subsequent to the surgical procedure.

Research conclusions

The implementation of specific nursing interventions, such as early nutrition support, pre-exhaustion water intake, and enema administration, has been found to be highly effective in facilitating the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients undergoing hepatobiliary surgery. Moreover, these interventions have demonstrated the potential to significantly decrease the occurrence of complications.

Research perspectives

The implementation of early enteral nutrition support therapy has been found to have a beneficial effect on the restoration of gastrointestinal function in individuals undergoing surgical interventions for hepatobiliary disorders.
