[Electroacupuncture Treatment Conduced Before and After Surgery Is Better in Promoting Reco-very of Gastrointestinal Function in Colorectal Cancer Patients Undergoing Radical Resection].

Objective: To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at different time-points on postoperative gastrointestinal function in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery.

Methods: Eighty patients with colorectal cancer undergoing laparotomy were randomly assigned to intravenous anesthesia, EA A, EA B, and EA C groups (＝20 cases in each group). All the patients in the four groups received intravenous anesthesia with midazolam, sufentanil, cisatracurium besylate and Propofol, postoperative gastrointestinal decompression and drug analgesia.
