Background: Recent developments in perioperative pathophysiology and care have documented evidence-based, multimodal rehabilitation (fast-track) to hasten recovery and decrease morbidity and hospital stay in several major surgical procedures. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect over time of a modified previously published fast-track programme in unselected patients undergoing open or laparoscopic liver resection.
Methods: A prospective study includes the first 121 consecutive patients following an updated fast-track programme for liver resection.
Background: Recent developments in perioperative pathophysiology and care have documented evidence-based, multimodal rehabilitation (fast-track) to hasten recovery and to decrease morbidity and hospital stay for several major surgical procedures. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of introducing fast-track principles for perioperative care in unselected patients undergoing open or laparoscopic liver resection.
Methods: This was a prospective study involving the first 100 consecutive patients who followed fast-track principles for liver resection.
Introduction: By careful selection of both patients and surgeon, outpatient laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be performed in up to 90% of elective patients. The rate of same-day discharge in an unselected group scheduled for elective operation is, however, not clarified.
Materials And Methods: A clinical pathway for outpatient laparoscopic cholecystectomy was introduced as the standard procedure for all patients undergoing elective operation.
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of 2 levels of intraoperative fluid administration on perioperative physiology and outcome after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Summary Background Data: Intraoperative fluid administration is variable as a result of limited knowledge of physiological and clinical effects of different fluid substitution regimens.
Methods: In a double-blind study, 48 ASA I-II patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomized to 15 mL/kg (group 1) or 40 mL/kg (group 2) intraoperative administration of lactated Ringer's solution (LR).
Background: The aim of this study was to define factors that limit a short period of convalescence and to characterize the pain experienced after laparoscopic fundoplication.
Methods: This prospective study included 60 consecutive patients who underwent uncomplicated laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. Patients were recommended to convalesce for 2 days after operation.
