Description

We report a case of an anorectic 71-year-old male post-gastrectomy patient who was successfully treated with Koso-san and Rikkunshi-to. The patient underwent resection for early gastric cancer (0-IIa+IIc). After partial gastrectomy, he suffered from nausea and vomiting. He was treated with endoscopic balloon dilatation at the anastomotic site, and was simultaneously treated with some western drugs. However, he was completely unable to eat because of nausea and vomiting. Oriental medicine was then recommended. We treated him with Kampo medicines in combination with parenteral nutrition. After the administration of Koso-san, his nausea and vomiting disappeared immediately and he could ingest a fluid diet. Further, after the administration of Koso-san and Rikkunshi-to, his food intake increased. Finally, he could eat ordinary meals and his food intake reached an adequate level. This suggests that Koso-san and Rikkunshi-to are useful in the treatment of anorectic patients after gastrectomy.
