Abstract
Background: Fast-track surgery (FTS)or enhanced recovery after surgery have been applied to many surgical procedures. The FTS interventions may lead to a major reduction in the undesirable sequelae of surgical injury with improved recovery and reduction in postoperative morbidity and overall costs. The aim of this study is whether FTS reduces the length of stay in hospital compared to traditional management. The secondary aim is whether FTS is associated with an increase in post-surgical complications compared to traditional management (for both open and laparoscopic surgery).Methods: A prospective randomized trial included 107 patients undergoing gynaecological oncological surgery. The patients were randomized to the FTS group (n=50) and the traditional group (n=57). LOS (Length of stay in hospital), and complications were assessed.Results: No significant differences in LOS were observed between the groups. The total costs of hospitalization (RMB), and CRP (C-Reactive protein mg/l) are less in the FTS group (P < 0.05) and the overall complications were lower in the FTS Group, statistically significantly lower ((P < 0.05). Conclusions: Fast-track surgery after gynaecological oncological surgery is beneficial for patients. Trial registration number: NCT02687412.
