BACKGROUND: Some studies reported that ginger was effective in prevention or treatment of post-surgical @entity390 and @entity391 ; however, there are controversies. In addition, no study compared the effects of ginger on @entity390 and @entity391 after open and laparoscopic nephrectomies. OBJECTIVES: The current study aimed to compare the effect of ginger essence on @entity390 and @entity391 after open versus laparoscopic nephrectomies. @entity1 AND METHODS: A randomized, placebo trial was conducted on two groups of @entity1 , 50 open and 50 laparoscopic nephrectomy. Half of the subjects in each group received ginger essence and the other half received placebo. Using a visual analogue scale the severity of @entity390 was assessed every 15 minutes for the first two post-operative hours and the sixth hour. Frequency of @entity391 was counted until the sixth hour. The placebo subgroups were treated similarly. Descriptive statistics were employed. Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests, paired and independent samples t-test and repeated measure analysis of variance were used to analyze the data. RESULTS: Repeated measure analysis of variance showed that the type of surgery and the type of intervention as factors had significant effects on the @entity390 severity scores in the nine successive measurements (P < 0.001). In the first two post-operative hours, the mean @entity391 episodes was 2.92    0.70 in the subjects who underwent open surgery and received placebo while it was 0.16    0.37 in @entity1 with the same surgery but receiving ginger essence (P = 0.001). The mean @entity391 episodes was 6.0    1.33 in the subjects who underwent laparoscopic surgery and received placebo while it was 1.39    0.78 in @entity1 with the same surgery but receiving ginger essence (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Using ginger essence was effective in @entity1209 not only in the subjects who underwent open nephrectomy but also in the subjects of laparoscopic nephrectomy. Using ginger essence is suggested as a complementary remedy to prevent and treat post-operative @entity390 and @entity391 in @entity1 with nephrectomy.
