Abstract

We report a case with various postoperative abdominal symptoms that were successfully treated with Kampo medicine. A 58-year-old Japanese female had nausea, eructation, epigastric pain, lower abdominal pain and anorexia that appeared just after laparoscopic nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. No abnormal findings were discovered by gastroenterological examinations. Western medical therapy was not successful. We used bukuryoin under the interpretation that nausea and eructation represent phlegm-fluid retention in the chest. The bukuryoin therapy cleared up her nausea and eructation in about one week. Additionally, her epigastric pain, lower abdominal pain and anorexia were cured by use of anchusan.
