Treatment modalities have been advancing, and the application of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) principles provides a new approach to postoperative recovery in patients. This study aims to investigate the clinical application effects of ERAS principles in single-level lumbar spinal stenosis surgery. Methods: This study included 64 patients who underwent lumbar fusion surgery in the Spinal Surgery Department of Baise People’s Hospital from July 2022 to July 2024. These patients were divided into an experimental group (ERAS group, 33 cases) and a control group (conventional group, 31 cases) based on perioperative care, receiving ERAS principles and traditional treatment, respectively. A comparison was made between the two groups in terms of gender, age, BMI, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative length of hospital stay, postoperative complications, hospital costs, VAS scores (preoperative/postoperative day 3), and ODI scores (preoperative/postoperative day 3). Results: There were no significant differences in gender, age, and BMI between the ERAS group and the conventional group (gender: χ2 = 0.5008, P = 0.4792;age: 54.55 ± 8.51 years vs. 57.39 ± 8.16 years, P = 0.0892;BMI: 25.11 ± 2.70 vs. 24.77 ± 2.75, P = 0.3098). However, during surgery, patients in the ERAS group had significantly less blood loss than those in the conventional group (197.58 ± 195.51ml vs. 438.71 ± 349.22 ml, P = 0.0006), and the postoperative length of hospital stay was significantly shorter (7.00 ± 2.24 days vs. 11.55 ± 5.23 days, P = 0.0000). On postoperative day 3, VAS scores were significantly better in the ERAS group compared to the conventional group (3.70 ± 0.88 vs. 4.32 ± 0.87, P = 0.0031), and the ODI scores showed significant improvement as well (46.00 ± 3.04 vs. 48.00 ± 3.39, P = 0.0078). Although there were no significant differences in postoperative complications and hospital costs (complications: 3 cases vs. 0 cases, P = 0.2154;hospital costs: 63524.29 ± 17891.80 RMB vs. 58733.84 ± 13280.82 RMB, P = 0.1154), ERAS demonstrated better postoperative recovery outcomes in single-level lumbar spinal stenosis surgery. Conclusion: The study results support the implementation of ERAS principles in single-level lumbar spinal stenosis surgery to promote rapid recovery, reduce healthcare resource consumption, and improve overall patient satisfaction.展开更多

Methods: A 5-year surgical audit of the period commencing 2008 and concluding 2012. All patients undergoing laparotomy were included in the audit without exclusions. Approval was granted by the local Ethics Review Committee. Results: Four hundred and twenty-seven patients underwent laparotomy for suspected or confirmed gynaecological malignancy and were managed by Fast Track Surgery (FTS) principles. Average age was 54.8 years and average weight and BMI were 73.4 kg and 28.1 respectively. Ultimately 254 (59%) patients had confirmed malignancy. Average surgery duration was 2.36 hours and average estimated blood loss (EBL) at surgery was 262 mL. Median and mean LOS was 3.0 and 3.5 days respectively with 125 (29%) patients discharged on day 2. Overall transfusion rate was 5%. Other adverse events in decreasing frequency were hospital readmission (3.7%), significant wound infection (3%) and unplanned High Dependency Unit (HDU) admission (1.4%). All other adverse events were uncommon with rates <0.5%. Factors associated with a short LOS included year of surgery, age, performance status, malignant vs benign pathology, the use of COX-2 inhibitors, operation time, incision type, transfusion, and radical hysterectomy, at least 1 complication, if patients tolerated early oral feeding (EOF). In multivariable analysis, year, age, performance status, the use of COX-2 inhibitors, operation time and incision type were significant. Factors associated with readmission included the use of COX-2 inhibitors, operation time, performance of a lymph node dissection, return to operating theatre, operation category at least 1 complication, and in multivariable analysis lymph node dissection and the occurrence of at least 1 complication were significant. Conclusions: This 5-year audit is important in establishing a contemporary incidence and the prevalence rate of serious adverse events for patients with suspected or confirmed gynaecological cancer undergoing laparotomy and managed by FTS principles. The community can be reassured that the incidence of serious adverse events is low when managed by FTS principles.展开更多

The optimization of the patient’s preoperative clinical conditions, the careful intraoperative administration of fluids and drugs and the postoperative encouragement to resume the normal physiological functions as early as possible has produced results in a large amounts of studies. These approaches successfully challenged long-standing and well-established perioperative managements and finally achieved the status of gold standard treatments for the perioperative management of uncomplicated colorectal surgery. Even more important, it seems that the clinical improvement of the patient’s clinical management through ERAS protocols is now reaching his best outcomes (length of stay of 4-6 d after the operation) and therefore any further measures add little to the results already established (i.e., the adjunct of laparoscopic surgery to ERAS). Still dedicated meetings and courses around the world are exploring new aspects including the improvement the preoperative nutrition status to provide the energy necessary to face the surgical stress, the preoperative individuation of special requirements that could be properly addressed before the date of surgery and therefore would reduce the number of unnecessary days spent in hospital once fully recovered (i.e., rehabilitation, social discharges), and finally the development of an important web of out-of-hours direct access in order to individuate alarm symptoms in those patients at risk of complications that could prompt an early readmission.展开更多
