ObjectivesTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of fast track surgery in perioperative patients with adrenalectomy.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the efficacy and safety of fast track surgery in perioperative patients with adrenalectomy from inception to January 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 11 RCTs involving 1 034 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: fast track surgery in perioperative patients with adrenalectomy could shorten first exhaust time (MD=?17.16, 95%CI ?21.86 to ?12.46, P<0.000 01), postoperative catheter indwelling time (MD=?43.44, 95%CI ?46.65 to ?40.23, P<0.000 01) and drainage tube indwelling time (MD=?39.91, 95%CI ?57.58 to ?22.23, P<0.000 01), and reduce the incidence of complications after adrenalectomy (OR=0.26, 95%CI 0.1 to 0.39, P<0.000 01). There were no statistically differences in operation time (MD=?1.18, 95%CI ?3.22 to 0.86, P=0.26) and blood loss (MD=0.25, 95%CI ?2.84 to 3.34, P=0.88) between two groups.ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that, compared with the conventional rehabilitation group, fast track surgery can promote postoperative recovery of patients with adrenalectomy more safely and effectively, which has clinical promotion value. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify the above conclusion.
