ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to observe the curative effect of long intestinal tube (LT) in the treatment of phytobezoar intestinal obstruction.We performed a retrospective study of patients with phytobezoar intestinal obstruction who underwent decompression with different tube insertion method. A total of 80 patients were collected and divided into nasogastric tube (NGT) group (nâ=â36) and LT group (nâ=â44) between August 2015 and August 2018 at our hospital. Univariate analysis was used to assess the clinical efficacy of 2 groups of patients.There were no significant differences in the mean age, sex ratio, and previous surgical history between the 2 groups. There were statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in terms of improvement time of clinical indications (4.2â±â1.4 vs 2.5â±â0.6 days; Pâ=â.008), liquid decompression amount on the first day of catheterization (870.4â±â400.8 vs 1738.4â±â460.2âmL; Pâ=â.000), transit operation rate (4/36 vs 0/44; Pâ=â.023), clinical cure rate (25/36 vs 40/44; Pâ=â.014), total treatment efficiency (32/36 vs 44/44; Pâ=â.023), and total hospitalization cost (3.25â±â0.39 vs 2.07â±â0.41 ¥ ten thousand; Pâ=â.000).The curative effect of LT in the treatment of phytobezoar intestinal obstruction is accurate and reliable, which can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of patients, comprehensively improve the non-surgical rate of intestinal obstruction treatment, reduce the total cost of hospitalization, and is worthy of promotion in clinical application.
