Abstract:Objective To discuss the safety and feasibility of fast track(FT) in patients who underwent abdominal hysterectomy.Methods A total of 98 patients who underwent abdominal hysterectomy for benign uterine disease between February 2009 and February 2011 were given perioperative management of conventional model(conventional group,n=50) or FT model(FT group,n=48).Early postoperative rehabilitation,complications and hospitalization costs were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with conventional group,FT group had earlier time to 1st passing flatus,1st meal and 1st out-bed mobilization,shorter postoperative hospital stay,and less hospitalization costs(P<0.01).There were no significant differences in postoperative complications between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Perioperative FT management gas a good safety and can accelerate recovery,shorten hospital stay,decrease hospitalization costs and improve life quality in patients who underwent abdominal hysterectomy for benign uterine disease.
