Abstract：Objective：To observe the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy combined with rehabilitation training on the recovery of gastrointestinal function after laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer. Methods： A total of 60 cases of patients with colorectal cancer with blood stasis syndrome undergoing laparoscopic surgery were included and randomly divided into the control group and the trial group， with 30 cases in each group. Both groups were treated with laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer and underwent rehabilitation training at 6- 12 hours after surgery. The trial group was additionally given acupuncture treatment 1 day before surgery. Both groups were treated for 2 weeks and followed up for 14 days. The time of the first bowel sound， exhaust time， and defecation time after surgery were recorded；the abdominal pain before and after surgery was evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)；the occurrence of complications at 3 days after surgery was recorded； before surgery and 14 days after discharge， the scores of Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) were assessed by follow- up. Results：After surgery，the time of the first bowel sound，the first bowel movement time，and the first postoperative exhaust time in the trial group were all earlier than those in the control group (P＜0.05). The VAS scores of abdominal pain on the first and third postoperative days in the two groups were increased when compared with those before treatment (P＜0.05). The VAS scores on the third postoperative day were lower than those on the first postoperative day in the two groups (P＜0.05)；the VAS scores of abdominal pain in the trial group on the first and third postoperative days were lower than those in the control group (P＜0.05). After 14 days of discharge， the GSRS score in the trial group was decreased when compared with that before surgery (P＜0.05)，and the GSRS score in the trial group was lower than that in the control group (P＜0.05). There was no significant difference being found in the comparison of incidence of complications between the two groups (P＞0.05). Conclusion： Acupuncture therapy combined with rehabilitation training can effectively promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients after laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer， alleviate pain and gastrointestinal discomfort， and without increasing the incidence of complications，with good safety.
