Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Objective: Evaluate the effects of a fast-track (FT) protocol on costs and postoperative recovery.

Design: randomized trial

Setting: University Hospitals

Population: 170 women undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy for a benign indication

Methods: A FT protocol included the combination of minimally invasive surgery, analgesia optimization, early oral refeeding and rapid mobilization of patients was compared to a usual care protocol.

Main outcomes measure: Primary outcome was costs. Secondary outcomes were length of stay, postoperative morbidity and patient satisfaction.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

1. Fast-Track protocol:

Preoperative
* Anesthetic consultation
* Proposal of optimization of patient's general health state + family meeting if necessary
* Hospitalization on day of surgery
* Solids stopped 6 hours prior to surgery, drinking encouraged up to 2 hours prior to surgery

During surgery
* Anti-infectious prophylaxis
* Anesthesia via IV propofol/remifentanil
* Anti-nausea prophylaxis
* Pain control based on limited systemic opioid use

Postoperative
* Balanced analgesia for pain control
* Antithrombotic prophylaxis
* Early oral refeeding
* Rapid mobilization
* Gum chewing
* Foley catheter removal at the end of surgery
* Peripheral IV catheter removal 6 hours postoperatively
2. Usual care protocol :

Preoperative

* Anesthetic consultation
* Hospitalization on day of surgery
* Fasting beginning at midnight prior to surgery

During surgery

* Anti-infectious prophylaxis
* Balanced anesthesia via halogen gas
* Anti-nausea medication if needed

Postoperative

* Balanced analgesia for pain control
* Antithrombotic prophylaxis
* Same-day refeeding according to patient's wish
* Same-day mobilization according to patient's wish
* Foley and peripheral IV catheter removal on day 1 postoperatively

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* women undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy for a benign indication

Exclusion Criteria

* the requirement for an additional surgical procedure, such as prolapse repair or urinary incontinence, because a prolonged operative time could compromise early patient discharge and
* the inability to speak French because the patients were required to complete their data collection logbook in French.
