A modified fast-track program for pancreatic surgery: a prospective single-center experience.

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of a fast-track protocol in a high-volume center for patients with pancreatic disorders.

Background: The concept of fast-track surgery allowing accelerated postoperative recovery is accepted in colorectal surgery, but efficacy data are only preliminary for patients undergoing major pancreatic surgery. We aimed to evaluate the impact of a modified fast-track protocol in a high-volume center for patients with pancreatic disorders.
