Clinical Trial Summary

Post operative ileus refers to an disrupt in normal gastrointestinal motility responsible of nausea and vomiting. It occurs in about 15-20% of colorectal surgeries. Some preventive measures have been included in the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Program such as early mobilisation and enteral feeding or minimal invasive approach. Abdominal massage is not widely applied amongst general surgery team and is not part of the recommendation. This technique refers to profound manœuvrers of visceras through abdominal palpation and breathing, and has been used as part of the local protocol of Grenoble Alps University Hospital for many years with satisfactory results. No complications have been reported. Various studies have evaluated the value of physiotherapy and massage for resumption of normal bowel function. A study from Rouen University Hospital demonstrated that a mechanical stress to the cuteaneous tissue by LPG Cellu M50® machine would reduce pain and lower the time to first flatus. Similar results were obtained after Cardiac surgery. In a preclinical study on operated rats, abdominal massage also improved normal bowel function recovery. Physiotherapist plays a key role in RAC. Their action on respiratory function (movement of diaphragm) and musculoskeletal system (early walking) allows a faster recovery and a reduction of time of hospitalization. Even though the results on time to first flatus and anxiety seem interesting, Deep abdominal massage has never been evaluated.
