Abstract：Objective：To observe the effect of point application combined with auricular point pressing with beans before anesthesia on recovery period in patients undergoing laparoscopic total colectomy. Methods：A total of 80 cases of patients undergoing laparoscopic total colectomy were selected and divided into the treatment group and the control group according to the odd- even number of their order of admission，with 45 cases in each group. Before surgery，the control group was treated with auricular point pressing with beans， and the treatment group was additionally treated with point application based on the treatment of the control group. The recovery time of spontaneous breathing， the extubation time and the residence time at Anesthesia and Post- Anesthesia Care Units(PACU)，the scores of Ramsay Sedation Scale at 30 minutes after entering PACU(T1)，60 minutes after entering PACU(T2) and coming out of PACU(T3)，and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)，interleukin-6(IL-6)，cortisol(Cor) and norepinephrine(NE) in the two groups were compared. Results：The recovery time of spontaneous breathing，the extubation time and the residence time at PACU in the treatment group were shorter than those in the control group(P＜0.05). At T1， T2 and T3， the scores of Ramsay Sedation Scale in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group at the same period(P＜0.05). At T1，T2 and T3，the levels of TNF-α，IL-6， Cor and NE in the two groups were increased when compared with those at T0(P＜0.05)，and the levels of TNF- α，IL- 6， Cor and NE in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group at the same period(P＜0.05). Conclusion：Point application combined with auricular point pressing with beans before anesthesia of laparoscopic total colectomy can shorten the postoperative anesthesia recovery period，reduce the degree of agitation，and relieve inflammatory responses and stress
