Abstract Background: To explore the application effect of accelerated rehabilitation surgery on laparoscopic radical gastrectomy cancer for patients aged ≥70 years.Methods: Retrospective analysis of 120 aged ≥70 patients’ clinical data undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2018, which were divided into accelerated rehabilitation group (n = 73) and control group (n = 47). By comparing the postoperative clinical data of the two groups, we explored the application effect of accelerated rehabilitation surgery on laparoscopic radical gastrectomy cancer for patients aged ≥70 years.Results: Compared with the control group, the first time to get out of bed (2.1 ± 0.9 days vs 3.8 ± 1.5 days, P<0.01), the first exhaust time (3.2 ± 0.8 days vs 3.9 ± 1.2 days, P<0.01) and the first time to eat liquid food after surgery (1.8 ± 0.9 days vs 3.2 ± 1.3 days, P<0.01), and postoperative hospital stay (12.7 ± 4.3 days vs 15.8 ± 6.4 days, P<0.01) in the rehabilitation group were significantly lower. There was no significant difference in the overall postoperative complications between the two groups (P<0.05), however, the complications of pulmonary infection in the accelerated rehabilitation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (1.4% vs 10.6%, P = 0.03). Conclusions: The application of accelerated rehabilitation surgery concepts and measures after surgery in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy cancer for patients aged ≥70 years can promote early postoperative rehabilitation, reduce postoperative hospital stay, and reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary infection complications.

Abstract Background: Perioperative rehabilitation management is essential to enhanced recovery after surgery. Few reports, however, focused on quantitative, detailed early activity plans for patients after esophagectomy. Aim: The purpose of this research was to estimate the effect of the Early Rehabilitation Program (ERP) on the recovery of bowel function and physical function for patients undergoing esophagectomy. Method: In this single-blind, 2-arm, parallel-group, randomized pilot clinical trial, patients were selected from June 2019 to February 2020 and assigned to the intervention group (IG) or the control group(CG) randomly. The participants in IG received an ERP strategy during the perioperative period, and the CG received routine care. The recovery of bowel and physical function, readiness for hospital discharge (RHD) and postoperative hospital stay were evaluated on the day of discharge. Results: 215 cases were enrolled and randomized to the CG (n=108) or IG (n=107). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of demographic and clinical characteristics and baseline physical function. After the ERP intervention, the IG group presented a significantly shorter time to first flatus (P<0.001) and to first bowel movement postoperative (P=0.024), and a better physical function recovery (P＜0.001), compared with the CG group. The analysis also showed that participants in the IG have higher scores of RHD and shorter length of postoperative stay than the CG (P＜0.05). Conclusion: The findings suggest that the ERP can improve bowel and physical function recovery, ameliorate patients' RHD, and shorten postoperative hospital stay for patients undergoing MIE.Trial registration：ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01998230

Lactulose is a non-digestible disaccharide formed from fructose and galactose. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of lactulose on gastrointestinal function after cesarean section. One hundred patients who underwent cesarean section at the Japanese Red Cross Katsushika Maternity Hospital were enrolled in this study. They were divided into 2 groups by randomization: (1) an L group that was treated with gelatinous lactulose (N = 48) and (2) a control group (C group) that did not receive gelatinous lactulose (N = 52). The interval between cesarean section and first postoperative flatus, defecation, and walking; appearance of symptoms of ileus; use of other medicines for stimulating bowel movement; properties and state of feces; and duration of postoperative hospital stay were compared between the two groups. The two groups did not show a significant difference in postoperative outcomes, except for the incidence of loose or watery stools (50% in the L group and 26.9% in the C group, P=0.03). This study could not demonstrate the apparent effectiveness of lactulose in improving bowel function after cesarean section. Therefore, a routine use of gelatinous lactulose after surgery may negatively impact the patients undergoing cesarean section.

Postoperative Ileus (POI) is one of the most common problems after obstetrics, gynecologic and abdominal surgeries. Sham feeding, such as gum chewing, accelerates the return of bowel function and the length of hospital stay. The present study aims to evaluate the effect of chewing gum on bowel motility in women undergoing post-operative cesarean section. Intervention study was used at the Postpartum Department of Maternity and Children Hospital, KSA. A randomized controlled clinical trial research design. Through a convenience technique, 80 post Caesarian Section (CS) women were included in the study. Data were collected through three tools: Tool (I): Socio-demographic data and reproductive history interview schedule. Tool (II): Postoperative Assessment Sheet. Tool (III): Outcomes of gum chewing and the length of hospital stay.  Method: subjects were assigned randomly into two groups of (40) the experimental and (40) the control. Subjects in the study group were asked to chew two pieces of sugarless gum for 30 min/three times daily in the morning, noon, and evening immediately after recovery from anesthesia and in Postpartum Department; while subjects in the control group followed the hospital routine care. Each woman in both groups was tested abdominally using a stethoscope to auscultate the bowel sounds and asked to report immediately the time of either passing flatus or stool. Results: illustrated that a highly statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups concerning their gum chewing outcomes. Where, P = 0.000. The study concluded that gum chewing is safe, well tolerated and appears to be effective in reducing the incidence and consequences of POI following CS.

Secondary Outcomes

Introduction: Etomidate is commonly used for induction of anesthesia for rapid sequence intubation (RSI). It has little impact on hemodynamic status, making it a widely used agent. Due to the inhibition of cortisol production, etomidate causes adrenal suppression. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a correlation with etomidate use and the incidence of secondary infections. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort of hospitalized patients who received either etomidate or control (ketamine, propofol, or no agent) for RSI. The primary endpoint was the incidence of secondary infections. Secondary outcomes included number of mechanical ventilator-free days within 28 days, 30-day mortality, length of hospital stay, and length of intensive care unit stay. Results: A total of 434 patients were reviewed, of which 129 (29.7%) met the study criteria (n = 94 etomidate; n = 35 control). The incidence of secondary infection was numerically higher in the etomidate group compared with the control group, though this was not statistically significant (38.7% vs. 28.6%, p = 0.447). Also, though the secondary outcomes showed no statistically significant difference between the groups, the patients in the control group had a longer hospital stay (14.0 vs. 18.1, p = 0.20) and a longer ICU stay (11.0 vs. 14.1, p = 030). Furthermore, the etomidate group had a non-statistically significant higher incidence of bacteremia (8 vs. 0, p = 0.17) Conclusion: The use of etomidate was not associated with increased incidence of secondary infection. To fully understand the effects of etomidate use and its subsequent adrenal suppression, larger studies are needed.

Background Intraoperative hypovolemia is common and is a potential cause of organ dysfunction, increased postoperative morbidity, length of hospital stay, and death. The objective of this prospective, randomized study was to assess the effect of goal-directed intraoperative fluid administration on length of postoperative hospital stay. Methods One hundred patients who were to undergo major elective surgery with an anticipated blood loss greater than 500 ml were randomly assigned to a control group (n = 50) that received standard intraoperative care or to a protocol group (n = 50) that, in addition, received intraoperative plasma volume expansion guided by the esophageal Doppler monitor to maintain maximal stroke volume. Length of postoperative hospital stay and postoperative surgical morbidity were assessed. Results Groups were similar with respect to demographics, surgical procedures, and baseline hemodynamic variables. The protocol group had a significantly higher stroke volume and cardiac output at the end of surgery compared with the control group. Patients in the protocol group had a shorter duration of hospital stay compared with the control group: 5 +/- 3 versus 7 +/- 3 days (mean +/- SD), with a median of 6 versus 7 days, respectively ( = 0.03). These patients also tolerated oral intake of solid food earlier than the control group: 3 +/- 0.5 versus 4.7 +/- 0.5 days (mean +/- SD), with a median of 3 versus 5 days, respectively ( = 0.01). Conclusions Goal-directed intraoperative fluid administration results in earlier return to bowel function, lower incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and decrease in length of postoperative hospital stay.

Chest Tube Removal

Introduction: Oesophageal resection were notoriously complicated and produces a cohort of patients prone to postoperative complications and here we would like to focus on the implementation and effectiveness of early chest tube removal in ERAS after oesophago-gastrectomy considering the various aspect like pleural effusion and reducing the length of hospital stay which ultimately lead to reducing the economic burden on patient.Methods: An ERAS programme was devised and implemented with the support of a dedicated in-hospital task-force. The patients underwent esophago-gastrectomy were randomly divided into two groups: the ERAS group and the control group (non-ERAS). The ERAS group was treated with early removal of the chest tube after surgery, and the control group was treated with traditional way and outcomes were compared between them.Results: The length of hospital stay and the cost of hospitalization in the ERAS group were significantly lower than those in the control group（p<0.05. However, there was no statistical significant difference in the incidences of pleural effusion between the two groups（p＞0.05).Conclusions: The introduction of early chest tube removal as an ERAS programme after oesophago-gastrectomy would not increase the risk of pleural effusion and would not increase the total length of stay and cost of hospitalisation without jeopardising patient safety or clinical outcomes.

Abstract Single-site laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal ligation (SLPEL) for pediatric inguinal hernia gained popularity all over the world. However, complications associated with extraperitoneal knotting were not rare in the classical SLPEL(C-SLPEL) procedure. In order to overcome disadvantages, we herein developed the modified SLPEL (M-SLPEL) procedure, intact circuit ligation of the peritoneum around the internal ring using a homemade hernia needle with a single abdominal wall centesis. To evaluated the effectiveness of the M-SLPEL procedure to decrease adverse events associated with ligation knotting, a comparative study was carried out. A total of 3219 patients from multiple centers were divided into two groups according to the operative procedures: M-SLPEL group and C-SLPEL group. All patients were followed up. Data describing the clinical characteristics, operative time, postoperative hospital stay, and complications was collected and retrospectively analyzed. With equivalent operative time, postoperative hospital stay, there was statistically significant difference between two groups in terms of the overall complications incidence (2.6% in C-SLPEL Vs 0.11% in M-SLPEL, P=0.03), including pain in inguinal area, knot foreign body reaction, palpable knot, recurrence. Together, these findings suggest that the M-SLPEL procedure is an effective and safe approach, with unique advantage in reducing adverse events in the inguinal region.

Background: Antibiotics are being administered both preoperatively and postoperatively even in uncomplicated nonperforated appendicitis. Studies regarding role of postoperative antibiotics in laparoscopic appendicectomy for nonperforated appendicitis are sparse. The aim of the study is therefore to study the efficacy of single dose preoperative antibiotics versus both preoperative and postoperative antibiotics in reducing surgical site infection in laparoscopic appendicectomy for uncomplicated nonperforated acute appendicitis.Methods: This is a prospective study done in general surgery department at Malla Reddy institute of medical sciences from September to April 2016.162 patients with nonperforated appendicitis were randomly allocated into two groups. 80 patients in Group A were given single dose of preoperative prophylactic antibiotics. No further antibiotics were given. 82 patients in Group B were given both preoperative and postoperative antibiotics. Postoperative surgical site infection and duration of postoperative hospital stay were compared between both groups. Statistical analysis was done using ANOVA, Fisher’s Exact test and Chi-square test wherever necessary.Results: There was no significant difference in the rate of surgical site infection in both groups. The mean duration of postoperative hospital stay was shorter in preoperative antibiotics only group (Group A). Age and gender had no significant association with surgical site infection. There was no deep incisional or organ space infection in this study.Conclusions: Single dose prophylactic antibiotics would be sufficient in cases of laparoscopic appendicectomy for simple uncomplicated nonperforated acute appendicitis. Postoperative antibiotic administration would not be necessary in these cases.

Abstract Background Discectomy for symptomatic lumbar disc herniation is the most common surgical procedure in spine surgery. Lumbar discectomy can be done by traditional open method or by varieties of minimal invasive techniques mainly microscopic or endoscopic procedures. This study evaluates the effectiveness of microdiscectomy compared with open discectomy in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation as a relation to the relief of leg pain, post-operative back pain, postoperative hospital stay and returns to daily activity. Methods Sixty patients were included in this study, 30 patients underwent an open discectomy and 30 patients underwent microdiscectomy. Those patients were followed up for 12 months after surgery. Each patient was evaluated for the postoperative back pain, leg pain, duration of hospital stay postoperatively and return to sedentary daily activity. The methods used to evaluate each patient are Visual analogue scale for back pain and leg pain and Oswestry disability index. Results Results showed that there is a significant difference in the postoperative back pain, duration of postoperative hospital stay and the time of return to sedentary daily activities between open discectomy and microdiscectomy with superiority for microdiscectomy while there is no significant difference in the relieving leg pain between the open discectomy and microdiscectomy. Conclusion Microdisctomy is effective as open discectomy in the aspect of relieving the leg pain with the advantage of less postoperative back pain, less postoperative hospital stay and early return to sedentary daily activities.
