Core Tip Integrative acupoint stimulation, combining meridian flow injection and transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation, enhances postoperative gastrointestinal recovery within enhanced recovery after surgery protocols by modulating the neuroimmune axis. This approach accelerates return of bowel function, attenuates stress hormone surges, reduces complications, and improves patient satisfaction. By bridging traditional therapies with modern mechanistic understanding, it exemplifies a precision supportive care strategy in gastrointestinal surgery and highlights the potential of multimodal perioperative interventions to optimize recovery, resilience, and long-term outcomes.
