The passage discusses the recovery of gastrointestinal (GI) function after abdominal surgery and the potential impact on patient comfort. After surgery, small bowel activity typically returns to normal within a few hours, gastric activity within 24-48 hours, and colonic activity within 48-72 hours. However, the delayed mobility of the GI system postoperatively can lead to issues such as abdominal bloating, nausea, vomiting, and pain. These symptoms can negatively affect patient comfort, leading to increased post-operative pain, decreased mobility, reduced satisfaction, and a longer hospital stay. Therefore, interventions that expedite the normalization of bowel activity are crucial. Chewing is suggested to stimulate intestinal motility by activating the cephalovagal pathway, which influences neurogenic and hormonal factors regulating GI functions. Postoperative heat application aims to prevent hypothermia, enhance bodily functions, and potentially promote bowel motility by stimulating somatic nerves. The study explores the effects of gum chewing and hot application protocols on postoperative pain, bowel function, and patient comfort after gynecologic oncologic surgery. It aims to contribute valuable insights to the existing literature on postoperative outcomes.
