Postoperative fast-track recovery protocols combine various methods to support immediate care of patients who undergo major surgery. These protocols include control of postoperative pain and early beginning of oral diet and mobilization. The combination of these approaches may reduce the rate of postoperative complications and facilitate hospital discharge. The aim of this study was to evaluate progress and parameters of fast-track recovery after major liver and pancreatic resection. A descriptive bibliographical review from 2001 to 2012 via electronic databases such as MEDLINE, PubMed, and Google Scholar was undertaken. Articles that focused on a fast-track protocol were studied. Reports focusing on the implementation of a fast-track protocol in the postoperative recovery of patients after major hepatectomy or pancreatectomy were selected. Fast-track protocols may be applicable to patients recovering after major liver or pancreatic resection. Future research should be focused on particular parameters of the fast-track protocol separately.

Rapid-recovery protocol for minimally invasive mitral valve repair.

JTCVS Open

December 2024

Department of Cardiac Sciences, Libin Cardiovascular Institute, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Background: Minimally invasive mitral valve repair (MIMVR), often performed within specialized care pathways, has been shown to reduce hospital length of stay and improve patient recovery. The relative value of rapid-recovery protocols as a component of care pathways, including enhanced recovery programs (ERPs), has not been well described. This study compared clinical outcomes following implementation of a new, comprehensive rapid-recovery protocol within a previously established, mature ERP for patients undergoing MIMVR.

A qualitative exploration of perioperative subjective experiences of colorectal cancer patients undergoing fast-track surgery.

Sci Rep

December 2024

Neurology Department, Shenzhen Bao'an District Songgang People's Hospital, 2 Shajiang Road, Songgang Jiedao, Bao'an District, Shenzhen, 518105, Guangdong Province, China.

Colorectal cancer significantly impacts patient quality of life and burdens healthcare systems globally. Fast-track surgery (FTS) aims to alleviate some of these impacts by expediting recovery and reduce the physiological stress associated with traditional surgical approaches. Despite the clinical efficiency of FTS, there exists a gap in the literature concerning patients' subjective experiences during the perioperative period.

Background: The introduction of transcatheter procedures has focused on patient expectations for treatments with a less invasive approach and faster recovery. The aim of this study was to assess the short- and medium-term results in patients who underwent trans-axillary mitral valve repair with application of the ultra-fast-track protocol.

Methods: Data from 431 patients undergoing isolated trans-axillary mitral valve repair or associated with tricuspid valve treatment between January 2018 and December 2023 were prospectively collected.
