Area of Science:

  • Perioperative Medicine
  • Surgical Protocols
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Fast-track surgery (enhanced recovery after surgery) is a protocol-based perioperative care program.
  • It combines evidence-based practices for improved patient outcomes and synergistic effects.
  • The core philosophy is to minimize physiological disturbance during surgical treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the application and benefits of fast-track surgery in major abdominal procedures.
  • To highlight the limited data from India and the potential gains for the Indian healthcare system.
  • To address the resistance and implementation challenges faced by gastrointestinal and general surgeons.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on fast-track surgery protocols.
  • Analysis of benefits including early discharge, ambulation, return to work, and hospital efficiency.
  • Discussion of multidisciplinary team approach, policy formation, and interdepartmental coordination.

Main Results:

  • Fast-track surgery has demonstrated success in colorectal procedures and shows encouraging results in other major abdominal surgeries.
  • Potential benefits for India include early recovery, increased hospital efficiency, and cost savings for all stakeholders.
  • Implementation requires institutional policy, interdepartmental coordination, and a multidisciplinary team.

Conclusions:

  • Further research is needed on the implementation of fast-track surgery protocols across India.
  • Widespread adoption can significantly benefit the Indian healthcare structure.
  • Addressing surgeon resistance and fostering interdepartmental collaboration are crucial for successful implementation.
