Objective To analyze the effect of traditional Chinese medicine nursing intervention robot assisted laparoscopic urological surgery on postoperative abdominal distension. Methods From June 2022 to June 2023, 60 patients who developed abdominal distension after robotic assisted laparoscopic urology surgery in our hospital were selected as study samples. After grouping the samples using random number method, two groups with 30 cases were obtained. The control group received routine nursing care, while the observation group received acupoint pressing and traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application. A comparison was made on the patients first postoperative anal exhaust time and personal bloating sensation after the first meal. Results The average time of first anal exhaust in the observation group was significantly shortened compared to the control group (P<0.05); The incidence of personal bloating after the first meal was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05); Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine nursing intervention robot assisted laparoscopic urological surgery for postoperative abdominal distension is effective. Acupoint pressing and traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application are simple and non-invasive operations. Such nursing operations for robot assisted laparoscopic urological surgery for postoperative abdominal distension patients can restore gastrointestinal function as early as possible, achieve rapid recovery, improve patient quality of life, alleviate and improve negative emotions, and enable patients to receive better nursing services, promoting disease improvement.
