Abstract:
Fast-track surgery is a comprehensive program for the optimization of perioperative care in elective surgery reducing potential postoperative complications and speeding up convalescence. Recent data from randomized colon resection trials emphasize that fast-track surgery is possible in most major operations. Our initial results in radical retropubic prostatectomy fast-track surgery have been encouraging. Fast-track surgery in major urological operations needs validation using randomized trials.
