ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical effectiveness of fast track surgery ( FTS) nursing during laparoscopic cone-shaped resection of renal tumor. Methods Forty patients who was planned to accept laparoscopic cone-shaped renal tumor resection was divided into either FTS group ( n=20 ) or control group ( n=20 ) according to odd-even number of their admission IDs. The control group was given routine perioperative nursing procedure, and the FTS group was given FTS nursing. Results The operation time, intraoperative blood loss and incidence of complications had no statistical significance between the two groups (P>0. 05). As compared to the control group, patients in the FTS group experienced a shorter anal exhaust time [(30. 3 ± 11. 7) h vs. (43. 0 ± 15. 5) h, t= -2. 924, P=0. 006], shorter post-operative fasting time [(26. 6 ± 12. 1) h vs. (56. 1 ± 18. 1) h, t= -6. 059, P=0. 000], earlier ambulation [(33. 6 ± 16. 8) h vs. (66. 9 ± 28. 6) h, t= -4. 490, P=0. 000], shorter urethral catheterization [(40. 2 ± 18. 5) h vs. (83. 4 ± 39. 6) h, t= -4. 420, P=0. 000], shorter drainage time [(50. 3 ± 22. 5) h vs. (102. 9 ± 46. 0) h, t= -4. 594, P=0. 000], and shorter length of hospitalization [(5. 5 ± 1. 5) d vs. (9. 0 ± 2. 1) d, t= -5. 911, P=0. 000]. Conclusions FTS nursing procedure can reduce the rate of post-operative complications and shorten hospitalization stay. It can not only guarantee the efficacy of surgical treatment but also help the patient to achieve the goal of fast rehabilitation, being worthy of extensive application.
