Four months after the surgery, the physical condition, postoperative recovery and patients' satisfaction to nursing during hospitalization were compared between the 2 groups.Results The treating effect and satisfaction of the experimental group was significantly better than those in the control group.Patients of the former recovered significantly quicker than the latter.Conclusion The integrated medicine nursing can promote the treating effect and shorten the recovery time,promote the life quality and satisfaction of KO patients.
