ObjectiveTo compare the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic operation combined with traditional Chinese medicin e enema to merely laparoscopic operation in the therapy of acute pelvic inflammation. MethodsSeventy patients with acute pelvic inflammation were randomly divided into 2 groups: experimental group, which were treated with laparoscopic operation combined with traditional Chinese medicine enema from the day before operation(once each day, taken 7days as a therapeutic coarse), and the control group, which were merely treated with laparoscopic operation. The time of body temperature returning to normal, abdominal pain remission, passage of gas by anus, the total number of patients with white blood cell count returning to normal in 3rd day postoperatively, and the postoperative recurrence rate within one year were compared between the two groups. ResultsThe time of body temperature returning to normal, abdomen pain remission, and passage of gas by anus, and the postoperative recurrence rate within one year were significantly less in the experimental group than those in the control group(P＞0.05).ConclusionCombined application of laparoscopic operation combined with traditional Chinese medicine enema is effective in the treatment of patients with acute pelvic inflammation with low recurrence rate.
