Fast-track surgery applied in gynecological oncological surgical treatment: a prospective randomized trial

Background: The study aimed to compare the fast-track and traditional gynaecological oncological surgeries from postoperative recovery. Methods: A total of 107 patients undergoing gynaecological oncological surgery were randomly assigned to the FTS group (n=50) and the traditional group (n=57). Results: No significant differences in LOS (Length of hospitalization post-operation) were observed. A less total cost of hospitalization and a lower C-Reactive protein (CRP) level were found (P < 0.05). Also, the trial revealed a significantly lower number of the overall complications in the FTS Group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: FTS applied in gynaecological oncological surgeries is beneficial to patients in terms of the postoperative recovery.
