Abstract:
Since the concept of fast-track was raised in 2001, it has been widely used in the surgical treatment for colorectal cancer. Several studies showed that patients receiving fast-track surgery gained enhanced recovery,shorter hospital stays and less cost. The British NICE guideline also strongly recommends the use of fast-track surgery in colorectal cancer patients. The present review would discuss the concept, development, advantage, impact on the recovery of elderly patients and the cost effectiveness of fast-track surgery over the past 10 years.
