However, the difference was significant on fourth (p < 0.001) and seventh day (p value < 0.001).
There was no statistically significant difference in the 6MWT distance before (p = 0.278) and on postoperative day one of the surgery (p = 0.0762). Results Primary outcome variables were mobility, assessed via 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and postoperative pain, evaluated via visual analogue scale. Mobilization and the pain status of both groups were evaluated on the first, fourth, and seventh days after surgery.
The intervention group wore an abdominal binder postoperatively while the control group did not use it. Randomization was done using the sealed envelope method by the principal investigator. All those patients aged ≥18 years having abdominal surgery including elective and emergency abdominal surgery and cesarean sections with American Society of Anesthesiologists Class I-III were included in the study.
