Intervention  Peri-Operative Tibial Nerve Stimulation  Tibial nerve stimulation will be done using a nerve stimulator. The generator will be connected to a transcutaneous, positive stick-on electrocardiograph-type electrode with foam backing placed over the posterior tibial nerve, immediately behind the malleolus where the tibial nerve is most superficial, and a ground pad will be placed on the calf about 10 cm above, so as not to compromise a patient’s mobilisation. The stimulus to be used will be 200 ms Pulse, frequency of 20 Hz, and amplitude of 10 mA for 30 Minutes.

Methodology:

Study Design: Observational study

Study Period: 2024 to 2026

Sample size: 48

(Expected population standard deviation= 0.17

Employing t- distribution ot estimate sample size Confidence interval 95%

Precision = 0.05)

Reference: Dhand, NK. ,. & Khatkar, M.S. (2014). Statulator: An online statistical calculator Sample size calculator for estimating a single mean

Methods:

Recruitment: All the patients undergoing colorectal surgeries in the department of General Surgery, laparoscopic or open, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar.

Blinding: No

Intervention: Transcutaneous/ Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation

Procedure

Tibial nerve stimulation will be done using a nerve stimulator

Site - The generator will be connected to a transcutaneous, positive stick-on electrocardiograph-type electrode with foam backing placed over the posterior tibial nerve, immediately behind the malleolus where the tibial nerve is most superficial, and a ground

pad will be placed on the calf about 10 cm above, so as not to compromise a patient’s mobilization

Amplitude - 200 ms Pulse, frequency of 20 Hz, and amplitude 10 mA Duration - 20 Minutes

Timing - Stimulation the day before surgery once, 30 minutes Stimulation on the day of surgery, before surgery (at least 2 hours before surgery)

Stimulation every day thrice after surgery until gastrointestinal function recovery

Primary and Secondary Outcome:

Primary Outcome

  1. Time of passage of first flatus

Secondary Outcome

  1. Time of passage of stools and appearance of bowel sounds
  2. Length of postoperative hospital stay
  3. Episodes of vomiting
  4. Nasogastric tube (re)insertion
  5. Any complications related to the use of TTNS-Patch related allergy, burns from electrodes
