Factors influencing length of stay after surgery for benign foregut disease

Abstract: The laparoscopic surgery approach, where feasible, in the treatment of benign foregut diseases is the strongest predictor of a decreased LOS. Modifiable factors influencing LOS include OT exit time, NG tube removal in the OT, urinary catheter removal in hospital and postoperative nausea control. Any implementation of enhanced recovery pathways to optimize these factors must monitor readmission rates and complications to confirm efficacy.

“…Furthermore, we observed an approximately 40-minute decrease in both operation time and CO 2 pneumoperitoneum in the present study compared with our previous RCT [4]. Previous studies suggested operation time [26,32,37,38] and postoperative pain [28,38,39] as factors that influence LHSS. Thus, at least 3 modifiable factors exist at an institutional and/or individual surgeon level-postoperative pain, operative time, and OR exit time-that may potentially influence LHSS in very elderly patients after laparoscopic surgical treatment for genital prolapse.…”

“…In the present study as well as in our previous RCT [4], all patients were informed of their expected discharge on postoperative day 3. Social reasons requiring a longer hospital stay are more common in elderly patients [23,24,26,27,31]. Furthermore, studies have shown that older age can influence LHSS after surgery [26,31,32].…”

“…Yeh et al reported that diabetes increased length of hospital stay and 30-day postoperative mortality [ 40 ]. An earlier study suggests that age, surgery type, and laparoscopic or open surgery are predictive factors in increased postoperative hospitalization duration [ 41 ].…”

“…Hospital hospitalization rates have been shown to be the most important direct cost predictor of patient, which accounts for 31-68% of hospitalization expenses [10,22]. In Yang et al's report [9], they analyzed the material costs, care costs and specific time associated with indwelling catheters in the NUC and UC groups in detail (including time to place the catheter, time to replace the drainage device, time to observe and care the patient and time to remove the catheter).…”
