What to do if there is no gas discharge after renal hamartoma surgery

There are four treatment methods for renal hamartoma surgery that does not pass gas. Appropriate exercise, hot compresses on the abdomen, enema, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment can promote postoperative gas discharge. Postoperative gas discharge is a natural process. If there is no gas discharge, it is recommended that the patient receive more infusions, so that the body can replenish the necessary water, sugar, various necessary trace elements, and vitamins.

It is a common phenomenon that the gas is not discharged after renal hamartoma surgery in the early stage after surgery. This kind of abdominal surgery will cause interference to the abdominal gastrointestinal tract in the early stage after surgery, and there will be paralysis of intestinal function recovery, so it is generally more common. So what should I do if the gas is not discharged after renal hamartoma surgery? Let's learn about the relief methods below.

1. Exercise appropriately. If the patient's physical condition allows, try to get up and move around as early as possible, because the process of getting up and moving around can promote the gradual recovery of gastrointestinal function, promote intestinal peristalsis, and promote body excretion.

2. Hot compress on the abdomen. When the patient has time, he can use a relatively warm or hot towel to apply heat to the abdomen, and restore the peristaltic function of the intestines through the stimulation of higher temperature.

3. Enema. If the patient needs it, they can choose to use enema. The main purpose of enema is to stimulate the recovery of intestinal function, because enema has a certain stimulating effect on the intestines and can promote defecation of the colon. Some patients have too much stool in the colon, which leads to intestinal obstruction and gas cannot pass through. Therefore, patients who do not pass gas and are constipated can use enema after surgery to promote defecation, so that the gas can be discharged naturally.

4. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment. In this case, traditional Chinese medicine is also very useful. For example, local blockade can be performed on the Zusanli point, which can effectively promote intestinal peristalsis. Or acupuncture can be used to stimulate the acupuncture points of the gastrointestinal tract to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and help exhaust.

The above are four treatment methods for renal hamartoma surgery that does not pass gas. Passing gas after surgery is a natural process. If the patient does not pass gas for a long time after surgery, proper exercise, hot compresses on the abdomen, enema, and Zusanli injection can promote postoperative gas discharge. It is worth noting that if there is no gas after surgery, the patient cannot eat. In this case, the patient's hospitalization time can be appropriately extended.
