Key Words Acupuncture; Cholecystectomy; Post-operative nausea and vomiting; Laparoscopic surgery; Hegu and Zusanli
Core Tip This retrospective study found that acupuncture at Hegu and Zusanli significantly reduced post-operative nausea and vomiting incidence, severity, and antiemetic use after cholecystectomy. It delayed symptom onset, shortened duration, and improved patient satisfaction. Acupuncture showed better efficacy in younger and high-risk patients, with good safety. To evaluate the effect of acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine on postoperative nausea and vomiting, acupuncture centered on acupoints such as Neiguan can significantly reduce the incidence and severity of postoperative nausea and vomiting, decrease the use of antiemetic drugs, shorten the length of hospital stay, and has good safety. Early intervention and standardized programs may yield greater benefits.
