Application of fast-track surgery in the perioperative period of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for renal tumors.

Objectives This study aimed to examine application of fast-track surgery (FTS) in the perioperative period of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for renal tumors, and to discuss its effects and safety. Methods Eighty patients who received laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in urinary surgery from January 2016 to December 2017 were selected and randomly classified as the observation group (n = 40) and control group (n = 40). Traditional treatments were performed in the control group, while FTS was applied in the observation group. The complication rate after the operation was recorded. Results The duration of the operation and intraoperative blood loss were not different between the groups. The duration of anesthesia and fluid transfusion volume on the day of the operation were significantly less in the observation group than in the control group. The rates of infection of the incisional wound, nausea and vomiting, and anastomotic stomal bleeding were not significantly different between the groups. However, the rates of postoperative urinary tract infection, abdominal distension, thirst, hypothermia, and pulmonary infection were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group. Conclusion Application of FTS in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy contributes to postoperative recovery and reduction of postoperative complications.
