Abstract
Abstract We have presented a double blind study of 100 operative cases in which the drug panthenol was employed with the intention of reducing postoperative distention, nausea and vomiting and increasing peristalsis. The fifty patients receiving panthenol were shown statistically to have undergone a more benign postoperative course than those receiving the placebo. The drug has proved to have a significant effect in the reduction of postoperative nausea and distention and in the restoration of normal peristalsis.
