Fast-track surgery for gastroenteric neoplasms: a meta-analysis
Aims And Background:
Fast-track surgery has been shown to enhance postoperative recovery. The objective of the study was to determine the differences of fast-track surgery and conventional care for patients with gastroenteric neoplasms.
Methods And Study Design:
We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library for related trials to compare hospital stay and rates of complications and readmission.
Results:
Thirteen randomized controlled trials, with 1,962 patients, were included. Results showed the length of hospital stay was significantly reduced in the fast-track group. The complications rate was lowered in colorectal surgery. There were no significant differences in rate of readmissions.
Conclusions:
Current trials show that fast-track surgery may reduce the length of hospital stay and lower the rate of complications of gastroenteric surgery.
