Chewing gum could help patients to recover after colectomy,a recent meta-analysis has shown.
The study including five randomized controlled trials totaling 158 patients, found that gum significantly reduced the time to the first flatus and first bowel movement following the operations.postoperative hospital stay was also reduced,but did result did not reach statistical significance.
The researches from imperial college London, UK suggest that gum could serve as a form of”sham feeding”which stimulates the production of saliva, gastrointestinal hormones and pancreatic secretions.The potentials for substantial cost savings means that larger placebo controlled trials into the effects of chewing gum are warranted,they concluded.
