title: [Effect of oxytocin on postoperative intestinal atonia after open cholecystectomy].
abstract: A double-blind trial was undertaken to assess the effect of oxytocin on the duration of intestinal atony after cholecystectomy. Eleven pairs of patients were either given injections of oxytocin or placebo at regular intervals during the first and second postoperative day. Sequential analysis showed placebo as being more effective, regarding the time until flatus was passed.
