Abstract： Objective： To observe the effect of application of modified prescription of Dachaihu tang at gallbladder area and auricular point pressing with beans combined with postoperative routine therapy in promoting rehabilitation of patients with cholecystitis after surgery. Methods： A total of 108 cases of patients with cholecystitis of heat depression of the gallbladder type after surgery were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group， 54 cases in each group. Both groups were given postoperative comprehensive treatment and nursing measures；the observation group was additionally given application of modified prescription of Dachaihu tang at gallbladder area and auricular point pressing with beans. Both groups were treated for 7 days. The recovery time of gurgling sound， the first time of anal exsufflation and defecation after surgery were recorded. At the 8th hour，and on the 1st，2nd，3rd，and 7th days after surgery，scores of pain in right upper abdomen were evaluated via Visual Analogue Scale(VAS). On the day of surgery and the 7th day after surgery，the levels of C- reactive protein(CRP) and white blood cell count(WBC) were detected. The incidence of common complications such as incision infection， urinary retention， adhesive intestinal obstruction， the liver injury and pulmonary infection after surgery was counted. The time for temperature to return to normal and the hospitalization time after surgery were recorded. Nursing satisfaction was evaluated by patients at discharge. The clinical effect in the two groups was compared. Results： After treatment， the clinical effect in the observation group was better than that in the control group(P＜0.05). In the observation group， the recovery time of gurgling sound， the first time of exsufflation and defecation after surgery were earlier than those in the control group(P＜0.01). The VAS scores after surgery in the two groups were gradually decreased(P＜ 0.05)；on the 1st，2nd，3rd，and 7th days after surgery，the VAS scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.01). On the 7th day after surgery， the levels of CRP and WBC in the two groups were decreased when compared with those on the 1st day after surgery(P＜0.01)；the two levels on the 7th day after surgery in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.01). The time for temperature to return to normal after surgery and the hospitalization time in the observation group were shortened when compared with those in the control group(P＜0.01). The cumulative incidence of complications was 20.37% in the observation group，lower than that of 38.89% in the control group， the difference being significant(P＜0.05). Nursing satisfaction in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion：Based on postoperative routine therapy and nursing measures，the additional application of modified prescription of Dachaihu tang at gallbladder area and auricular point pressing with beans in intervening patients with cholecystitis after surgery，can effectively promote recovery of gastrointestinal function，alleviate inflammatory response and pain in right upper abdomen，reduce the incidence of complications，improve the curative effect and nursing satisfaction of patients，and accelerate postoperative rehabilitation.
