Core Tip This article innovatively integrates the traditional Chinese medicine theory of “liver governing free flow” with the modern medical concept of the gut-liver axis, extending its application to perioperative management in digestive surgery. By reviewing intervention strategies such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, and dietary therapy, it explores their potential mechanisms in regulating intestinal microecology, improving barrier function, and influencing hepatic metabolism. This provides a new theoretical perspective and practical pathway for the integrated prevention and treatment of digestive system diseases through the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine.
