Özet

Objective: To compare outcome of gastric cancer surgery with a fast-track rehabilitation program and conventional care. Background: Fast-track surgery is a promising comprehensive perioperative care program for surgical patients and is beneficial to recovery. There is not much data on fast-track surgery for gastric cancer. Patient and Method: Seventy-seven patients operated on for gastric cancer were divided into a fast-track surgery group (n=43) and conventional surgery group (n=34). We compared the outcomes of postoperative complications, duration of postoperative stay in hospital, and re-admission between the two groups. Results: Compared with the conventional surgery group, the fast-track surgery group had no more complications, the re-admission rate was lower and the duration of the hospital stay was significantly shorter. Conclusion: Fast-track surgery accelerates rehabilitation and leads to a shorter hospital stay for patients with gastric cancer.
