Summary: This study aimed to investigate the safety and feasibility of fast-track discharge for patients undergoing nonelective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). The results showed that fast-track nonelective LC had comparable postoperative complication rates to elective LC, indicating that it can be safely used in select patients.

Summary: This study investigates the application effect of fast-track surgery (FTS) nursing intervention in laparotomy and laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer (CRC) and explores the optimal perioperative management strategy. The results show that both FTS and laparoscopic surgery can advance the anal exhaust time, shorten postoperative fasting and water deprivation time, and reduce hospitalization time without increasing complications. Simultaneous implementation of FTS and laparoscopic surgery has the best effect on the postoperative recovery of CRC patients.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of fast track surgery (FTS) on radical prostatectomy (RP). The results showed that FTS can reduce postoperative pain and overall complications, but there was no significant difference in terms of blood loss, operation time, and postoperative infection rate compared to conventional surgery.

Summary: A rapid chemical protocol for cellular reprogramming uncovers a state similar to diapause, retrovirus activation, and obstacles in cell fate transitions towards pluripotency. The system provides valuable insights into manipulating cellular regeneration and rejuvenation, showing promising therapeutic potential.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of preoperative immunonutrition on in-hospital length of stay in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection under an ERAS program. The results showed that preoperative immunonutrition was associated with significantly shorter length of stay. No significant differences were observed in secondary outcomes.

Summary: This study investigated perioperative factors associated with fast-track failure in patients undergoing minimally invasive mitral valve surgery. The results showed that New York Heart Association classification, chronic kidney disease, coronary artery disease, postoperative bleeding, and procedure time were independently associated with fast-track failure.

Summary: Colon cancer surgery shows significant variation worldwide, leading to differences in quality measures like lymph node yield. Pathologists can assess these variables and provide feedback to improve surgical quality. The move towards complete mesocolic excision with central vascular ligation emphasizes the importance of pathological feedback for improving outcomes.

Summary: The study externally validated a proposed score for identifying liver transplantation recipients suitable for early extubation and fast-track pathways. The score showed lower discrimination compared to the original validation cohort, but customization of the transfusion components or regression model coefficients improved its predictive accuracy. Time-based definition of fast-track pathways did not affect the prediction score's accuracy, enhancing the model's generalizability.

Summary: The success of modern surgery still relies on the judgment and decision-making of surgeons, and computer-assisted surgery can provide further assistance with real-time data without necessarily needing new hardware platforms. Methods to support personalized surgical endeavors currently exist and can be applied within standard laparoscopic surgery paradigms.
