Summary

This trial investigates whether drinking coffee after laparoscopic hysterectomy helps the bowels start working again sooner and reduces time spent in the hospital. Women who have the surgery are randomly assigned to receive either standard care plus coffee at set times or standard care alone. The study measures how quickly they pass gas, have a bowel movement, and are discharged.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
coffee
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help women recover faster after hysterectomy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Coffee may not speed recovery for everyone.
