Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of tension-free vaginal tape-obturator for female stress urinary incontinence under the daytime surgical mode based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery. Methods The clinical data of female patients with stress urinary incontinence at the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University between June 2019 and June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the perioperative management mode of patients, they were divided into daytime surgery group and routine surgery group. The basic, intraoperative, and postoperative conditions of two groups of patients were compared. Results Finally, 183 patients were included, including 91 in the routine surgery group and 92 in the daytime surgery group. All patients successfully completed the surgery. There was no statistically significant difference in age, preoperative comorbidities, surgeon in chief, or operation duration between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). The preoperative waiting time after hospitalization [(0.00±0.00) vs. (2.42±0.58) d], hospitalization expenses [(13815.10±2906.01) vs. (18095.21±3586.67) yuan], total surgical expenses [(3961.36±707.35) vs. (4440.19±1016.31) yuan], anesthesia expenses [(718.53±61.06) vs. (755.30±74.65) yuan], western medicine expenses [(818.07±259.30) vs. (1282.14±460.75) yuan], total hospitalization duration [(1.11±0.31) vs. (5.77±1.30) d], and postoperative hospitalization duration [(1.11±0.31) vs. (3.35±1.42) d] in the daytime surgery group were lower than those in the routine surgery group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in postoperative complications (respiratory complications, fever, nausea and vomiting, vaginal bleeding, urinary retention, peritonitis), satisfaction, postoperative pain or self perception of symptom improvement (P>0.05). Conclusion The daytime surgery for female stress urinary incontinence based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery is safe and feasible, which can shorten hospitalization duration and reduce hospitalization costs.
ObjectiveTo analyze the current situation of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) application in colorectal surgery in China, and summarize the existing problems.MethodsAfter the questionnaire was developed, members of the Chinese Society of Colorectal Cancer were selected as respondents and results were collected by online questionnaire. All the respondents volunteered to visit the homepage of the questionnaire through the link address. After completing the questionnaire, they were saved and submitted.ResultsA total of 120 questionnaires were sent out and finally 107 respondents completed the electronic questionnaire survey. Among them, 73 (68.2%) routinely carried out ERAS programmes and 34 (31.8%) didn’t carry out ERAS programmes. Among the 11 ERAS programmes, most surgeons carried out 3–7 ERAS programmes, among which 4 ERAS programmes was the most (25 surgeons, 23.4%). The survey results for different ERAS programmes showed that only 4 out of 11 ERAS programmes had implemented more than half of the respondents. Respondents with older than 45 years old were more inclined not to undergo mechanical bowel preparation before surgery (P<0.001) and were more likely early postoperative oral intake (P=0.008), respondents with more than 1 000 hospital beds were more likely to select preoperative oral carbohydrate (P=0.012) and postoperative multimodal analgesia (P<0.001), respondents with more than 200 cases of colorectal surgery per year were more inclinedto take oral carbohydrate before surgery (P=0.018), and respondents whose rate of minimally invasive surgery was higher than 50% were more inclined to choose multimode analgesia (P=0.047). On the contrary, the respondents in the tumor hospitals recommended shortening the length of postoperative hospital stay and recommending early discharge (P=0.014). Hospitals that routinely performed ERAS (P<0.001), preoperative oral carbohydrate (P<0.001), without preoperative gastric tube (P=0.019), early postoperative drinking water (P=0.012), and early postoperative oral feeding (P=0.038) were associated with a shorter average postoperative hospital stay.ConclusionERAS has not been popularized in the field of colorectal surgery in China, and there are differences between different doctors and between different hospitals, which still need to be promoted continuously.
Some complex surgical procedures allow for day surgery benefited from the advancement of the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery and minimally invasive surgical techniques. Shanghai Chest Hospital has set up thoracic day surgery ward incorporating some lung tumor surgeries into day surgery. Through process innovation, model innovation and management innovation, relying on the full-process closed-loop day surgery management system, the day surgery ward runs efficiently. It can help effectively alleviate the difficulty of admission and operation, and improve hospital operation efficiency as well as reduce the economic burden of disease. At the same time, we hope to explore an innovative development path for the possibility of day surgery in complex thoracic surgery, and create a new mode of day surgery that can be replicated and promoted.
Objective To compare the digital drainage system and the traditional drainage system in the patients after lung surgery, and to evaluate the advantages of digital drainage system. Methods A retrospective analysis of consecutive 42 patients with lung surgery between September 2016 and May 2017 in Beijing University International Hospital was done. There were 30 males and 12 females with a median age of 34 years ranging 19-81 years. After the surgery 21 patients adopted Thopaz digital drainage device (a DDS group), and the other 21 patients adopted traditional drainage (a TDS group). Duration of air leakage and chest tube placement, length of hospital stay, thoracic drainage volume within 48 h and hospitalization expenses in the two groups were compared. Results The patients in the two groups were all successfully discharged. Compared with the TDS group, duration of air leakage and chest tube placement and length of hospital stay significantly shortened in the DDS group (35.6±16.3 h vs. 48.2±20.1 h, P=0.02; 50.0±16.1 h vs. 62.0±20.4 h, P=0.03; 5.9±2.3 d vs. 7.8±3.5 d, P=0.02), and thoracic drainage volume within 48 h and hospitalization expenses showed no significant statistical difference between the two groups. Conclusion Using digital drainage system after lung surgery can significantly shorten the duration of air leakage and the postoperative drainage, at the same time, without increasing the overall hospitalization expenses.
Objective To analyze current research status of enhanced recovery after surgery of orthopedics in China, and to provide reference for further development of enhanced recovery after surgery in orthopedics department. Methods We searched Wanfang database and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database for articles about enhanced recovery after surgery of orthopedics department which were included by the Chinese Science and Technology Core Journal (2018 version) or Chinese Core Journal criterion of Peking University (2017 version), and bibliometric analysis was performed. Results A total of 135 articles were included in this study, 49 of which were collected in Chinese Core Journal criterion of Peking University. The amount of articles showed a rising trend in general over last decade. The main research topic was joint diseases (69 articles, 51.11%), followed by traumatic diseases (23 articles, 17.04%) and spinal diseases (21 articles, 15.56%); 35.56% (48 articles) of the articles were supported by different funds; Sichuan Province had the largest number of publications (36 articles) and the largest number of funds so far (8 items); clinical studies accounted for 37.78% (51 articles) with 78.43% (40 articles) randomized controlled trials, in which evaluation indicators focused on function scores, pain, length of hospital stay, complications or adverse reactions, patient satisfaction, and hospitalization costs. Conclusions The research on enhanced recovery after surgery of orthopedics in China was in a rising stage, and joint replacement was one of the hotspots. The funds are insufficient, and a series of guidelines should be developed according to the evidence-based study to accelerate the enhanced recovery after surgery of orthopedics.
ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between readiness for hospital discharge and short-term quality of life among colorectal cancer (CRC) patients following enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) mode.MethodsSurveys of 127 CRC patients following ERAS mode were conducted in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University. The Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale and EORTC QLQ-C30 Scale were issued at the discharge and 1 month after the operation, respectively.ResultsThe total score of RHDS was 149.43±33.25. The score of global quality of life was 66.80±18.84. Correlation analysis showed that the total score of RHDS was positively correlated with the score of global quality of life (r=0.220, P=0.013), and negatively correlated with the scores of fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, loss of appetite (r=–0.304, P=0.001; r=–0.189, P=0.033; r=–0.257, P=0.004; r=–0.254, P=0.004). The score of personal status dimension were positively correlated with the score of global quality of life and emotional function (r=0.213, P=0.016; r=0.197, P=0.027), and negatively correlated with scores of fatigue, pain and insomnia (r=–0.311, P=0.000; r=–0.264, P=0.003; r=–0.257, P=0.004). The score of knowledge dimension was negatively correlated with nausea and vomiting, pain and loss of appetite (r=–0.212, P=0.017; r=–0.182, P=0.040; r=–0.239, P=0.007). The score of coping ability dimension was positively correlated with the score of global quality of life and physical function (r=0.204, P=0.021; r=0.204, P=0.021), while negatively correlated with scores of fatigue, pain, insomnia and loss of appetite (r=–0.349, P=0.000; r=–0.240, P=0.007; r=–0.202, P=0.022; r=–0.201, P=0.024). The score of expected support was positively correlated with the score of global quality of life (r=0.220, P=0.013), and negatively correlated with scores of fatigue and loss of appetite (r=–0.249, P=0.005; r=–0.227, P=0.010).ConclusionsThe short term quality of life among CRC patients following ERAS keeps at upper middle level, and positively correlated with the readiness for hospital discharge. It is suggested that discharge preparation service is of great significance to improve the quality of life of patients.
ObjectiveTo investigate the completion of early ambulation in patients with gastric cancer under the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) management mode in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University, and analyze the influencing factors. MethodsFrom November 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022, the patients with gastric cancer who met the inclusion criteria of this study in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University were selected as the survey objects. At 48 h after the operation, the patients were enquired at the bedside and the electronic medical records were accessed to collect the general information, diseases information, etc. of the patients. The postoperative data were also investigated, and the time of early ambulation was investigated, and the influencing factors were analyzed by logistic regression. ResultsAccording to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of this study and the sample size requirements, 140 eligible patients with gastric cancer were investigated, 34 of whom got out of bed early, and the rate of early ambulation was 24.3%. The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that indwelling urinary catheter within 48 h after operation [OR=10.031, 95%CI（1.037, 97.061）, P=0.046] and American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) grade Ⅲ [OR=4.209, 95%CI（1.792, 9.886）, P=0.001] decreased the probability of early ambulation after operation in patients with gastric cancer. ConclusionsFrom the results of this survey, the completion rate of early ambulation in patients with gastric cancer under ERAS mode is lower, which may be improved by reducing the placement of the urinary catheter or shortening the indwelling time of the urinary catheter. For patients with ASA grade Ⅲ having functional decline before surgery, doctor or nurse needs to evaluate their mobility after surgery and help them to finish early ambulation or exercise on hospital bed within their tolerances.
ObjectiveBased on recently update Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA), we aimed to analyze the characteristics of in-hospital process management from reginal medical center’s colorectal cancer patients.MethodsWe used Version January 29th, 2019 of DACAA being the analyzing source. The items were included date of first out-patient meeting, admitted date, operative date, discharged date, waiting-time, preoperative staying days, postoperative staying days, hospital staying days, and manage protocol, whose characteristics would be analyzed.ResultsWe left 8 913 lines to be analyzed by filtering DACCA. Useful data lines of first out-patient meeting had 3 915, admitted date had 8 144, operative date had 8 049, and discharged date had 7 958. The average of waiting-time were (9.41±0.43) days, and based on timeline trend for line prediction analyzing, which showed R2=0.101 257, P<0.001. The average of preoperative staying days were (5.41±0.04) days, and based on timeline trend for line prediction analyzing, which showed R2=0.023 671, P<0.001. The average of postoperative staying days were (8.99±0.07) days, and based on timeline trend for line prediction analyzing, which showed R2=0.086 177, P<0.001. The average of hospital staying days were (14.43±0.08) days, and based one timeline trend of line prediction analyzing, which showed R2=0.098 44, P<0.001. Analyzable ERAS data were 2 368 lines in DACCA. Total EARS data in 2 368 lines, there were 108 lines (5%) completed and 2 260 lines (95%) incomplete. Pre/post ERAS data in 2 260 lines, there were 150 lines (7%) completed and 2 110 lines (93%) incomplete. Post ERAS data in 2 110 lines, there were 170 lines (8%) completed and 1 940 lines (92%) incomplete.ConclusionsIn recent 20 years, the regional medical center served in-hospital colorectal cancer patients with decreased preoperative staying days, postoperative staying days, and in-hospital staying days from DACCA analyzing, which could prove the service ability had been in improved. Utilization rate of EARS was increased, and also being the main in-hospital process management.
ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility of decompression without gastric tube after minimally invasive esophageal cancer surgery.MethodsSeventy-two patients who underwent minimally invasive esophageal cancer resection at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from 2016 to 2018 were selected as a trial group including 68 males and 4 females with an average age of 58.5±7.9 years, who did not use gastric tube for gastrointestinal decompression after surgery. Seventy patients who underwent the same operation from 2013 to 2015 were selected as the control group, including 68 males and 2 females, with an average age of 59.1±6.9 years, who were indwelled with gastric tube for decompression after surgery. We observed and compared the intraoperative and postoperative indicators and complications of the two groups.ResultsThere were no significant differences between the two groups in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative level of serum albumin, postoperative nasal jejunal nutrition, whether to enter the ICU postoperatively, death within 30 days after surgery, anastomotic leakage, lung infection, vomiting, bloating or hoarseness (P>0.05). No gastroparesis occurred in either group. Compared with the control group, the recovery time of the bowel sounds and the first exhaust time after the indwelling in the trial group were significantly shorter, and the total hospitalization cost, the incidence of nausea, sore throat, cough, foreign body sensation and sputum difficulty were significantly lower (P<0.05).ConclusionIt is feasible to remove the gastric tube for gastrointestinal decompression after minimally invasive esophageal cancer surgery, which will not increase the incidence of postoperative complications, instead, accelerate the postoperative recovery of patients.
