To evaluate the effectiveness of early mobilization on patients after gastrointestinal surgery. This is a cross-sectional study observed on 78 patients who underwent gastrointestinal tumor surgery at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Thong Nhat Hospital, from October 2024 to June 2025. We collected and analyzed data on age, sex, time to first flatus, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scores, Timed Up and Go test performance, postoperative complications, and time to discharge. Physiotherapy was typically initiated two days postoperatively and combined respiratory with mobility training. Patients who achieved early mobilisation demonstrated earlier return of bowel function, shorter hospital stay, lower VAS pain scores, and better functional mobility as indicated by shorter Timed Up and Go test durations at postoperative days 1, 3, and 7 compared with those without early mobilization. The study demonstrated that the early mobilization group had an earlier time to first flatus, shorter length of hospital stay, lower pain levels, and better functional mobility compared with the non-early mobilization group.
