Objective To analyze the effect of percutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation on postoperative bowel function in patients with colorectal tumor. Methods From October 2023 to October 2024, 93 patients were admitted to hospital, including control group 1(basic intervention), control group 2(basic intervention + acupressure nursing), and experimental group (basic intervention + acupressure + medium frequency electrotherapy), with 31 cases in each group. The prognosis of gastrointestinal function recovery in the three groups was observed, and the therapeutic effect was compared. Results The defecation time, anal exhaust time and bowel sound recovery time of test group were better than those of control group 2 and control group 1, P < 0.05. There was no difference between control group 2 and control group 1,P > 0.05. Before treatment, there was no difference between the three groups,P > 0.05. After treatment, motilin and gastrin in experimental group were superior to control group 2 and control group 1, P < 0.05. There was no difference between control group 2 and control group 1, P > 0.05. Conclusion Percutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation can improve the gastrointestinal motility function and promote the rapid recovery of gastrointestinal peristalsis, which is conducive to the recovery of patients health.
