ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Fast track programmes have been introduced in pancreatic surgery, but the data are sparse. The aim of this prospective study was to analyse the feasibility of implementing fast track rehabilitation protocol in PD with pancreaticogastrostomy, using historical control for comparison. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Between April 2012 and December 2012, twenty patients who underwent PD (with pancreaticogastrostomy) were managed by a fast-track rehabilitation protocol. These patients were compared with an equal number of historical controls treated according to the traditional protocol.RESULTS:
Patients in the fast track group were able to tolerate liquid (p = 0.0005) and solid diet (p = 0.0001) earlier, and they passed stools earlier (p = 0.02). Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) was significantly reduced in the fast track group (p = 0.02). There was no difference in the rates of pancreatic fistula (PF), post pancreatectomy haemorrhage (PPH) and mortality between the two groups. Length of hospital stay was reduced in the fast track group (median 14 vs 18.5, p = 0.007).CONCLUSION:
Fast track programme appears to be feasible in PD, even with pancreatico-gastric anastomosis. It is associated with early recovery, reduced DGE and reduced hospital stay.Palabras clave
