Objective To explore the effect of quality control circle practice on the incidence of abdominal distension in patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods A total of 84 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our hospital were selected (From January 2025 to July 2025) and randomly divided into two groups of 42 patients each. The control group adopted the conventional nursing mode, while the observation group carried out quality control circle practice activities. Evaluate the intervention effect of two groups based on the incidence of postoperative abdominal distension and recovery indicators. Results The incidence of postoperative abdominal distension in the observation group was 4.76%, significantly lower than the control group's 19.05%, with a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). Comparing the first anal exhaust time, first defecation time, bowel sound recovery time, and first eating time after surgery, all indicators in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group, and there were differences between the groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Conducting quality control circle practice activities can help reduce abdominal distension in patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and promote gastrointestinal function recovery.
