| Core Tip |
This study introduces fastest recovery after surgery as an optimized protocol building upon enhanced recovery after surgery. In patients who underwent gastrointestinal tumor surgery, fastest recovery after surgery achieved a remarkably short median postoperative stay of approximately 22.4 hours without increasing complication rates; moreover, it also significantly improved early quality of life and patient satisfaction. This effect represents a significant advancement in perioperative care, thus demonstrating that further acceleration of recovery beyond traditional enhanced recovery after surgery is both feasible and safe in carefully selected patients. |
