Prehabilitation optimizes patient health before surgery through exercise, nutrition, and psychological support. In gynecological oncology, addressing undernutrition preoperatively lowers complication risks and improves survival rates.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Surgery
- Geriatrics
Background:
- Prehabilitation is a multimodal preoperative care strategy.
- It aims to optimize patient health and reduce surgical stress.
- Key components include exercise, nutrition, and psychological support.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the role and benefits of prehabilitation in gynecological surgery.
- To highlight the impact of nutritional status on surgical outcomes.
Main Methods:
- Literature review on prehabilitation in gynecological surgery.
- Analysis of nutritional interventions and their effect on postoperative complications.
Main Results:
- Limited data exist on prehabilitation specifically for gynecological surgery.
- Managing undernutrition before gynecological oncology surgery reduces complications.
- Optimizing nutrition improves overall survival rates.
Conclusions:
- Prehabilitation is a valuable approach to enhance patient readiness for surgery.
- Nutritional management is critical in gynecological oncology to mitigate risks.
- Further research is needed to fully establish prehabilitation protocols in this field.
