Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the efficacy of triple therapy with octreotide acetate (Sandostatin), Dahuang Fuzi Decoction and N(2)-L-alanyl-L-glutamine (XiNeng) in the treatment of postoperative acute adhesive intestinal obstruction.
METHODS: This was a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled clinical trial. Eighty-five patients with postoperative acute adhesive intestinal obstruction who were treated at the Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital of Dalian University from May 2009 to January 2011 were randomly divided into control group (n = 40) and treatment group (n = 45). The control group received conventional treatment, including fasting, gastrointestinal decompression, soapy water enema, rehydration and anti-infection, while the treatment group received triple therapy on the basis of conventional therapy. Both the two groups were treated until the obstruction relieved. Clinical manifestations, the clinical curative effect, the number of cases of conversion to surgery, and the length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS: Compared to the control group, the treatment group had a shorter time to first anal exhaust (70.7 ± 10.4 h vs 45.3 ± 9.8 h, P < 0.05), time to first defecation (112.4 ± 16.8 h vs 70.5 ± 12.7 h, P < 0.05), stomach tube retention time (135.8 ± 26.7 h vs 91.5 ± 14.1 h, P < 0.05), eating recovery time (158.8 ± 26.4 h vs 109.4 ± 15.7 h, P <0.05), and length of hospital stay (13.9 ± 3.4 d vs 8.2 ± 2.6 d, P < 0.05). In the control group, 19 cases were cured, 13 cases were improved, and 8 cases showed no improvement. In the treatment group, the corresponding figures were 31, 11 and 3, respectively. The total response rate was 93.3% for the treatment group and 80.0% for the control group. The number of cases of conversion to surgery was significantly fewer in the treatment group than in the control group (3 vs 8, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Triple therapy with Sandostatin, Dahuang Fuzi Decoction and XiNeng could significantly improve clinical symptoms, promote the recovery of bowel function, reduce the rate of conversion to surgery, and shorten hospital stay in patients with postoperative acute adhesive intestinal obstruction.
