Summary

This study tests whether tegileridine, a new painkiller, helps the bowel recover faster after abdominal surgery compared to morphine. About 152 adults having elective abdominal surgery will use a patient-controlled pain pump with either tegileridine or morphine for up to 72 hours. Researchers will measure how quickly participants can eat solid food and pass gas or have a bowel movement, along with pain levels and side effects.
