The effect of perioperative psychological intervention on fatigue after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract

This was the first interventional study targeting fatigue after laparoscopic cholecystectomy by using a brief psychological relaxation intervention. It has shown a reduction of fatigue and impact of fatigue at 30 days postoperatively in the intervention group.

Systematic review of the efficacy of pre-surgical mind-body based therapies on post-operative outcome measures

“…Most studies encouraged some form of practice of the mind-body technique after surgery. Eleven studies used the aid of audiotapes to help patients practice the techniques, with four studies instructing participants to practice as much as desired [28][29][30][31] ; two studies instructed use of the audiotape from post-operative days 1-3 32,33 and from post-operative days 1-7 34,35 , one study instructed participants to listen to the audiotape from post-operative days 1-2 36 or from twice a day from post-operative days 1-6 23 . Leserman et al 37 also asked participants to practice twice per day post-operatively, but the number of post-operative days was not specified.…”

Patient-Specific Immune States Before Surgery Are Strong Correlates of Surgical Recovery

“…Examples of interventions requiring further validation include preoperative exercise and/or stress-reduction programs, dietary supplementation, and administration of immune-modulating medications. 9,[50][51][52][53][54][55] The ability to detect strong immune correlates was due to the application of a recently developed mass cytometry protocol, which enabled functional interrogation of precisely phenotyped cells with single-cell resolution. 10 Previous studies probing for molecular markers of recovery may have missed strong correlates as these studies relied on bulk analysis, precluded detailed identification of cell subsets, or could not measure functional attributes of cell subsets.…”

Evaluation of ERAS Protocol in General Surgery

“…Hastaların preoperatif bilgilendirilmesi cerrahi ve anesteziden beklentileri ortaya koymaya yardımcı olur ve korku, yorgunluk hissi, ağrıyı azaltabilir. İyileşmeyi hızlandırıp erken taburculuğu sağlayabilir (7,8) . Rektal-pelvik cerrahide ameliyat öncesi stoma ile iligili eğitim verilmeli, yeri işaretlenmelidir.…”
