To introduce the experience of professor YIN Ke-jing, a national senior and famous doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, in treatment of abdominal distension after abdominal surgery with warming-needle moxibustion at Gōngsūn (▪ SP 4). Bilateral SP 4 were selected, and warming-needle moxibustion was adopted. The treatment was conducted for twice a day, and treatment for 3 days was considered as 1 course of treatment. The efficacy was evaluated after 2 courses. The total effective rate was 96.9% of the 32 patients after treatment and observation for 2 courses. This therapeutic method was easy and simple with less acupoints selected and rapid onset of effect. With definite clinical efficacy, this method was worthy of being popularized.
