Effects of early activity intervention on intestinal motility recovery in patients after colorectal cancer surgery

Figure 1 Effects of early activity intervention on intestinal function recovery in patients after colorectal cancer surgery. A-C: This figure demonstrates the positive impact of early activity intervention on intestinal function recovery in patients after colorectal cancer surgery. The time to first flatus and first defecation was significantly shorter in the experimental group compared to the control group (A). A significantly higher percentage of patients in the experimental group achieved flatus within 48 hours and defecation within 72 hours than in the control group (B). Regardless of laparoscopic or open surgery approach, the time to first flatus was notably shorter in the experimental group than in the control group (C). These results confirm that early activity intervention effectively promotes postoperative intestinal motility recovery and improves postoperative rehabilitation quality. ^aP < 0.05.
