About this study
Official title: Efficacy of Chewing Xylitol Gum on Restoring Postoperative Bowel Activity After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Three-Arm Randomised Controlled Trial
Altogether, 75 patients undergoing elective laparoscopy cholecystectomy were randomly divided into 3 groups (final numbers, xylitol chewing gum: 24 controls, xylitol free chewing gum:25 and control 25 patients). Controls underwent a routine postoperative regimen. Both groups chewed gum 3 times a day except the control group. Other postoperative management was routine. First flatus, first bowel movement, first defecation, first mobilization time, and discharge time from hospital were recorded. Symptoms included nausea, and vomiting.
Read the detailed description
Purpose: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become the standard treatment for gallbladder surgery due to its advantages over open surgery. However, postoperative ileus (POI) remains a common complication. Gum chewing has been proposed to stimulate bowel function post-surgery, but it's unclear whether xylitol in gum influences outcomes. Our objective was to evaluate the effects of postoperative xylitol gum chewing on gastrointestinal functional recovery after laparoscopy.
Design: A Three-Arm Randomized Controlled Trial Methods: Altogether, 75 patients undergoing elective laparoscopy cholecystectomy were randomly divided into 3 groups (final numbers, xylitol chewing gum: 24 controls, xylitol free chewing gum:25 and control 25 patients). Controls underwent a routine postoperative regimen. Both groups chewed gum 3 times a day except the control group. Other postoperative management was routine. The first flatus, first bowel movement, first defecation, first mobilization time, and discharge time from the hospital were recorded. Symptoms included nausea and vomiting.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
xylitol chewing gumOther
Chewing gum with xylitol was chewed 3 times a day for 15 minutes. A new chewing gum was chewed by the researcher in each chewing period, chewing gum was stopped at the end of 15 minutes and each quadrant was listened for 15 seconds. The onset of bowel movement was evaluated and all information was recorded in the patient information form and follow-up form. Patients who were discharged without stool output were telephoned and their stool output was questioned. Gum chewing was performed at the 2nd hour, 4th hour and 6th hour postoperatively (due to the opening of the oral cavity at 6 hours) and the collection of patient data was continued by telephone until discharge and afterwards.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Time to first postsurgical flatus, Time to first bowel sound after surgery, Time to first postsurgical defecation, First Mobilization time, Discharge time from hospital
The onset of time to first postsurgical flatus, time to first bowel sound after surgery, Time to first postsurgical defecation, first mobilization time, discharge time from hospital were evaluated and all information was recorded in the patient information form and follow-up form. Patients who were discharged without stool output were telephoned and their stool output was questioned. Gum chewing was performed at the 2nd hour, 4th hour and 6th hour postoperatively (due to the opening of the feeding at 6 hours) and the collection of patient data was continued by telephone until discharge and afterwards.
Measured: Baseline
Secondary outcomes (1)
Nausea After Surgery, Vomiting After Surgery
Nausea and vomiting were evaluated and all information was recorded.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Altogether, 75 patients undergoing elective laparoscopy cholecystectomy were randomly divided into 3 groups (final numbers, xylitol chewing gum: 24 controls, xylitol free chewing gum:25 and control 25 patients). Controls underwent a routine postoperative regimen. Both groups chewed gum 3 times a day except the control group. Other postoperative management was routine. First flatus, first bowel movement, first defecation, first mobilization time, and discharge time from hospital were recorded. Symptoms included nausea, and vomiting.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing xylitol chewing gum in people with Xylitol Gum Chewing and Non-xylitol Gum Chewing, run by Giresun University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Time to first postsurgical flatus, Time to first bowel sound after surgery, Time to first postsurgical defecation, First Mobilization time, Discharge time from hospital (time frame: Baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06579339, which also lists 17 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Aug 2024.
