Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Wather Groups	Drinking Warm Water Intervention	Patients in the WG were provided warm water at the 2nd postoperative hour on the day of surgery. Patients in the WG were evaluated at T0, T1, T2, and T3 and data were recorded on a data collection form. The onset of bowel sounds and flatus requires the initiation of oral fluid and nutrient intake. No other water or food was provided to patients who had no bowel sounds or flatus other than warm water.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Descriptive Information Form:	up to 18 weeks	The descriptive information form consisted of two parts. The first part comprised seven open-ended and five multiple-choice questions to determine the patients' descriptive characteristics. This part of the form was completed by the patients 1 day before surgery. The second part comprised nine multiple-choice questions aimed at determining the patients' surgical characteristics. This diagnostic information was provided by the researcher.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Postoperative Measurement and Evaluation Form:	up to 18 weeks	The postoperative measurement and evaluation form included nine open-ended and seven multiple-choice questions designed to determine the vital signs and GI functions of the patients. Patients were evaluated during the postoperative period and the findings are presented in the relevant sections.
