Stopping smoking before surgery significantly reduces postoperative complications. Early cessation, even for a short period, benefits patients, with long-term benefits increasing over time.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Science
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Smokers face higher risks of perioperative respiratory distress and intensive care transfer.
  • Tobacco smoke negatively impacts wound healing, increasing risks of anastomotic leakage and delayed healing.
  • Smoking elevates the likelihood of postoperative infections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of preoperative smoking cessation on postoperative complications.
  • To determine the optimal timing for smoking cessation to mitigate surgical risks.
  • To assess the role of healthcare providers in supporting smoking cessation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on smoking cessation and surgical outcomes.
  • Analysis of complication rates in relation to preoperative smoking cessation duration.

  • Examination of patient anxiety levels and the safety of nicotine substitute use during the perioperative period.

    • Main Results:

    • Quitting smoking 6-8 weeks before surgery nearly eliminates tobacco-related complications.
    • Even short-term cessation reduces risks, with greater benefits observed with longer abstinence periods.
    • Preoperative smoking cessation does not increase anxiety levels and is compatible with anesthetic agents and nicotine substitutes.

    Conclusions:

    • Early preoperative smoking cessation is crucial for reducing surgical complications.
    • Healthcare providers, including general practitioners and surgeons, must actively support patients in quitting smoking.
    • Encouraging permanent smoking cessation post-surgery is vital for long-term patient health.
