Core Tip This meta-analysis explores the therapeutic impact of combining warm acupuncture with acupoint massage on postoperative gastrointestinal recovery in patients after gastric cancer surgery. The findings suggest that this integrative approach enhances gastrointestinal motility restoration and supports hormonal balance more effectively than standard postoperative care. Although variability exists among the included studies, the results underscore the promise of this traditional Chinese medicine-based intervention as a supplementary treatment option, warranting further validation in well-controlled clinical environments.
