Abstract:Objective:To study the value and feasibility of fast track surgery (FTS) in laparoscopic common bile duct exploration.
Methods:Sixty cases undergoing simple laparoscopic common bile duct exploration were selected for the perioperative therapy of fast track surgery(n=28)or conventional surgery(n=32). The time for bowel flatus and food intake and ambulation,hospital stay and cost, and incidence of complications after operation were compared.
Results:After operation,the time of bowel flatus, food intake, ambulation and hospital stay in fast track surgery group were significantly shorter than those in conventional surgery group(P<0.05).Hospital cost was also less(P<0.05) in FTS group; while the postoperative complications of the two groups showed no significant difference(P>0.05).
Conclusions:Fast track surgery in laparoscopic common bile duct exploration patients is safe,economical,effective,and has very high clinical value.
