ABSTRACT-
INTRODUCTION:
Gum chewing as a mock feeding technique is a cheap and well-tolerated way to encourage gastrointestinal motility after major abdominal surgery. Strong evidence to support its use in standard postoperative therapy is lacking. However, the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Society recognises it as one of the multimodal ways to speed recovery after surgery.
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the effect of chewing gum on the early return of bowel function postoperatively in patients undergoing laparotomy.
METHODOLOGY:
In this study total of 50 patients were included, 25 cases and the remaining controls. The cases were given chewing gum to chew after the surgery while the controls were allowed to heal without chewing gums in conventional style, and both were observed hourly for clinical outcomes.
RESULTS:
There were 17 female patients and 33 total male patients. Between the research and control groups, there was no discernible difference in the way bowel sounds appeared, the average flatus passage time, the passage of stools, or the perception of hunger. The study group's mean time was less in all of these characteristics. The early discharge of patients from the trial group differed in a statistically significant way.
CONCLUSION:
According to the finding’s, chewing gum does not appear to be significantly helpful in reducing the length of postoperative ileus. Although it was observed that individuals who chewed gum had shorter overall recovery times for bowel movements, as evidenced by the appearance of bowel sounds, passing flatus and motion, and feelings of hunger, these findings were not statistically significant.
