Abstract

Background: Postoperative ileus remains a serious clinical problem. It is one of the most important contributors to increased length of hospitalization and consumption of the health care system resources. Attempts have been made to treat several causes simultaneously to quickly restore normal postoperative bowel motility. Objective: The aim of this study was to estimate the effectiveness of postoperative parentally administered Trimebutine maleate inducing intestinal motility after cesarean section. Patients and Methods: This study included 200 patients who were selected from the outpatient clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Alexandria Armed Forces Hospital. They were classified into two equal groups: Group (1): Control group  underwent traditional management (oral intake of clear fluids and I.V fluids), and Group (2): were infused intravenously by a total dose of 300mg of Trimebutine maleate per day divided into 100 mg every 8 hours till first passage of flatus. Each group was subdivided into two equal subgroups: A) GA group < /strong> underwent cesarean section under general anesthesia, B) SA group < /strong> underwent cesarean section under spinal analgesia. Results: There was a significant difference between GA and SA of the control group in which the SA group decreased in the time in comparison to the GA group in all the outcome measures. There was a significant difference between GA of the cases group and GA of the control group in which the GA of the cases group decreased in the time in comparison to the GA group of the control in all the outcome measures. There was a significant difference between SA of the cases group and SA of the control group in which the SA of the cases group decreased in the time in comparison to the SA group of the control in all the outcome measures. Regarding pain and distension. There was a significant difference between GA and SA of the control group with more cases in the GA group, there was a significant difference between SA of the control and SA of the cases with more cases with the SA of the control. Conclusion: Trimebutine maleate (GASTREG®) routinely administrated to patients after caesarean section speeds recovery of intestinal function postoperatively by stimulating gastrointestinal motility. So GASTREG is an inexpensive, tolerable and helpful measure to postoperative care after caesarean section and other abdominal surgery.
