ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the effect of Chinese herbs during the perioperative period of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Three hundred and sixty patients of chronic lithic cholecystitis (LCCT) were randomly assigned to two groups by lottery, 180 patients in each group. During the peri-operative period, the control group was treated with conventional Western medicine and placebo. The treated group was given the same conventional Western medicine and Chinese herbal decoctions, with Shitong mixture No. 1 added before LC, and Liujunzi decoction added after LC for three days. The operation time, body temperature after LC, white blood cell count, wind-breaking time after operation, as well as the changes of tongue coating in the first three post-operative days were recorded.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There was no significant difference between the two groups in operation time (P>0.05), while the improvement in body temperature recovery, wind-breaking time and changes of tongue coating in the treated group were better than those in the control group (P<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Applying Chinese herbs during perioperative period of LC could effectively benefit early recovery in such patients.</p>
