The aim of this clinical study is to determine whether preoperative abdominal massage has an effect on the development of postoperative constipation. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Does preoperative abdominal massage improve postoperative stool consistency? • Does preoperative abdominal massage prevent constipation? To see if abdominal massage is effective in preventing constipation, researchers will not apply any treatment to the second group and will compare the two groups. Participants will: * Provide researchers with information about their preoperative and postoperative stool consistency and constipation status. * Inform the researchers if the group that received the massage experiences any adverse effects from the massage.
