Abstract in brief

This study found that heated fennel therapy helps improve recovery of gastrointestinal functions, such as faster first gas and bowel movements, after complex abdominal surgeries in patients with tumors.
Heated fennel therapy also reduced abdominal distension and led to shorter hospital stays, especially in patients with alimentary tract reconstruction, but it did not significantly impact inflammatory markers.
Overall, the results suggest that heated fennel therapy can promote early gastrointestinal motility and aid recovery, making it a potentially useful complementary treatment post-surgery.]
