Abstract

The rapid recovery of gastrointestinal transit is critical for clinical recovery following laparoscopic procedures, including gynecological laparoscopies (GLs). Rehabilitation interventions post-surgery may provide significant prevention against early post-operative gastrointestinal motility disorders and maid aid in the acceleration of post-operative recovery in patients undergoing GLs. Among others, low-frequency electrical stimulation (LFES) has been demonstrated to pronouncedly mitigate the symptoms caused by gastrointestinal motility disorders; thus, this has attracted increasing attention over the past decade. The present study aimed to present an overview of the efficacy and application of LFES in gastrointestinal motility recovery following GL procedures.
