Implying "fast-track" Protocol For Hydrocele Surgery In A Tertiary Centre

Abstract :

fast-track surgery was developed in the early 90s when a group of researchers stated different approaches to improve postoperative recovery in patients undergoing elective surgery of note among which are the value of patient counselling and taking the patient as an integral part of the postoperative recovery time, being the main goal of this concept a reduction in the length of hospital stay and minimization of inherent complications of surgery. although fast-track surgery was initially described in colo rectal disease, the good outcomes obtained with this approach has resulted in its practice by other specialties, such as anesthesia, thoracic surgery, gynecology, urology, where this concept has shown an improvement in postoperative recovery[1-2], using protocols which advocate a multimodal approach, combining postoperative procedures based on scientific evidence in order to reduce surgical stress and improve postoperative recovery[3-4]. One of the methods used to achieve these short-term stays in hospital is precisely this new concept of fast-track surgery[7], as an expression of a coordinated effort that combines modern concepts of patient education with new schemes of analgesics, anesthetics and minimally invasive surgical techniques [5-6].
