Abstract: Objective To evaluate the safety and feasibility of simplified fast track surgery in gastric surgery.Methods The study enrolled consecutive cases of elective gastric surgery from March 2010 to December 2011.The patients were randomized into two groups:simplified fast track surgery group (n =149) and traditional clinical pathway group (n =154).Demographic,intra-operative and post-operative data between two groups were compared.Results The outcome of demographic and intra-operative data between simplified fast track surgery group and traditional clinical pathway group were not different statistically (P ＞ 0.05).The time of post-operative recovery and discharge of simplified fast track surgery group was significantly shorter than traditional clinical pathway group (P ＜ 0.05).Difference of post-operative complications of two groups was not significant (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The programme of simplified fast track surgery in gastric surgery is safe and feasible.
