Psychosurgery

Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

Fast-track programs optimize perioperative care by emphasizing early patient mobilization and nutrition. These evidence-based surgical pathways are safe and reduce hospital stays and complications.

Area of Science:

  • Perioperative Medicine
  • Surgical Care Optimization

Background:

  • Traditional perioperative care involves established practices that may not always be optimal.
  • Fast-track programs represent a modern approach to enhancing patient recovery and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the current understanding of fast-track programs in optimizing perioperative care.
  • To identify key principles of fast-track surgery based on a review of current trials.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic search of Medline databases for relevant trials on fast-track programs.
  • Analysis of identified trials to determine core components and effectiveness of fast-track principles.

Main Results:

  • Consistent principles across trials, with most recommending 10-12 key elements.

Clinical Application of Single-Surgeon, Three-Port, Laparoscopic Resection for Colorectal Cancer with Natural Orifice Specimen Extraction

Published on: March 24, 2023

  • Early patient mobilization and introduction of peroral nutrition are universally emphasized.
  • Fast-track programs are shown to reduce hospitalization duration and decrease patient morbidity.
  • Conclusions:

    • Fast-track surgery offers a safe and effective method for optimizing perioperative care.
    • Despite proven benefits, the implementation of individual fast-track surgery components is progressing slowly.
