Figure 1 Comparison of postoperative exhaust and defecation time. A: The postoperative first exhaust time of the early oral feeding group was shorter than that of the control group (P = 0.001); B: The postoperative first defecation time of EOF group was shorter than that of the control group (P = 0.004). EOF: Early oral feeding.

Figure 2 Comparison of gastrointestinal hormone levels. A: The preoperative and postoperative day 5 serum gastrin levels in the early oral feeding group and the control group. The postoperative day 5 serum gastrin levels were significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.001); B: The preoperative and postoperative day 5 serum motilin levels in the early oral feeding group and the control group. The postoperative day 5 serum motilin levels were significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.002).
