The multimodal and interprofessional concept of fast-track rehabilitation ("enhanced recovery after surgery", ERAS) is generally applicable to transthoracic oesophagectomy, but is associated with two special features as compared to other oncological procedures. Due to the high comorbidity of oesophageal cancer patients, fast-track pathways have to be considered as one component of perioperative management and cannot be separated from prehabilitation with preoperative conditioning of single organ dysfunctions. Since gastric reconstruction causes a high prevalence of delayed gastric conduit emptying (DGCE), early and sufficient postoperative oral feeding is not easily feasible. There is currently no generally accepted algorithm for the postoperative nutritional management as well as for the prophylaxis/treatment of DGCE. Fast-track prehabilitation does not influence the mortality rate in specialised centres. At present, it is not clear whether a fast-track pathway helps to reduce postoperative morbidity. After modified fast-track rehabilitation, hospital discharge is possible from the 8th postoperative day.

Cardiochirurgia, Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria delle Marche, Università Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona.
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.
Impact of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on Patient Recovery After Myocardial Infarction and Stroke: A Fast Track to Fitness.

Regular exercise leads to various adaptations and many pathophysiological changes that significantly benefit exercise stamina and overall health, both in the general population and in patients with chronic cardiovascular diseases. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a form of exercise training that consists of short repetitive bursts of intense workouts that push the body to more than 90 percent of its maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) and more than 75 percent of maximal power, with in between periods of low-intensity exercise for recovery, followed by a cool-down period. HIIT has unquestionably emerged as a powerful and effective intervention in rehabilitating patients, particularly those recovering from heart attacks and strokes.

Center for Fast-track Hip and Knee Replacement, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark; Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Lillebaelt Hospital - Vejle, Vejle, Denmark.
Background: Following the implementation of the fast-track protocol in total hip arthroplasty (THA), total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), the median length of stay (LOS) has been significantly reduced without an increase in readmissions. However, it is unclear if the reduction in LOS is at the expense of an increase in nonhome discharge. The aim of this study was to investigate the discharge destination among THA, TKA, and UKA patients.

Background: Cancer navigation programs aim to support, educate, and empower patients and families, addressing barriers to diagnostics, treatment, and care. Navigators engage with people to ensure timely access to services and resources. While promising for older people with cancer, these programs are scarce in Europe, and research on their effectiveness and implementation is limited.
