Objective  To compare the short-term outcomes between laparoscopic surgery and open surgery with fast-track (FT) in patients with colorectal cancer.
Methods  Between February 2008 and August 2008, the clinical data of 177 patients with colorectal cancer were analyzed retrospectively, who were divided into open group  (n=122) and laparoscopic group (n=55) by surgery methods. Open group was further divided into FT group  (n=66) and traditional group (n=56). Early rehabilitations were studied and compared among three groups.
 Results  ① The baseline characteristics of patients among three groups were no significant differences (P gt;0.05) exclude operation time. ② In early rehabilitation, the first flatus of patients in both the FT group 〔(3.86±1.01) d〕 and the laparoscopic group 〔(3.78±1.10) d〕 was significantly earlier than that in the traditional group 〔(4.43±1.25) d〕, P lt;0.05. ③ The first oral intaking in the FT group 〔(2.52±1.14) d〕 was earlier than that in the traditional group 〔(3.38±1.43) d〕 and the laparoscopic group 〔(5.04±2.24) d〕, P lt;0.05, while in the traditional group was earlier than that in the laparoscopic group (P lt;0.05). ④ For drainage management, both the FT group and the traditional group were significantly earlier than those in the laparoscopic group (P lt;0.05). ⑤ For postoperative hospital stay, in the FT group 〔(8.33±1.98) d〕 was also much shorter than that in the laparoscopic group 〔(10.55±3.14) d〕 and the traditional group 〔(10.82±3.76) d〕, P lt;0.05. ⑥ For the postoperative complications, there was no significant difference among three groups (P gt;0.05).
Conclusions  FT surgery and laparoscopic technique could both enhance recovery of bowel function, and FT could also shorten postoperative hospital stay. However, further studies are needed to develop a better management.
