Length of Stay

03/01/2021 - "The most recent data from large trials, most notably the SIGMA trial, found laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy is associated with fewer short-term and long-term complications, decreased pain, improvement in length of stay, and maintains better cost-effectiveness than open resections. "
01/01/2010 - "This technique has dramatically improved the outcome after surgery, reducing pain, morbidity, hospital stay, and promoting early patient mobilization. "
05/01/1999 - "There is general agreement that laparoscopy is superior to open surgery since it is associated with less pain, a shorter hospital stay, and more rapid return to normal activities, and also yields the best cosmetic and long-term results. "
07/01/1997 - "Length of stay and pain and suffering were dramatically reduced compared with the open technique. "
03/01/1994 - "Length of stay and pain and suffering were dramatically reduced when compared with those associated with the open technique. "

09/01/2012 - " Although we were able to conclude that local infiltration can provide improved post-operative pain relief, and to suggest the most promising technique of administration, there is no evidence that it reduces hospital stay."
04/01/2004 - "Lichtenstein's method has become the gold standard at our department because of its highly favourable results: simple technique, minimal postoperative pain, recurrence rate below 1%, short hospital stay, very low complication rate and early return to physical activity."
01/01/2024 - "Despite technical difficulties, RPGs offer numerous advantages, including minimal invasiveness, excellent cosmetic outcomes, and the potential for improved post-operative recovery, such as reduced length of hospital stay and post-operative pain. "
05/07/2021 - "Patient-centered optimization of neurosurgical care spanning the pre-, intra-, and postoperative periods is feasible and has already provided positive results in terms of improved outcomes such as postoperative pain, patient satisfaction, reduced length of stay, and cost reduction with an excellent safety profile. "
10/01/2006 - "In the lumbar spine, this approach has been proven effective, with a shorter length of hospital stay, less postoperative pain, decreased blood loss, and shorter recovery time. "

01/01/2019 - "We found that trauma center care was associated with improved outcomes for geriatric trauma patients in most studies and that utilization of early palliative care consultations was generally associated with improved secondary outcomes, such as length of stay; however, inconsistency and imprecision prevented us from making a clear recommendation for this question. "
12/01/2008 - "Most studies support the hypothesis that early decompression and stabilization of spine injuries is beneficial in terms of reducing length of stay at the ICU, as well as improving neurological and overall outcome. "
01/01/2008 - "The largest component of acute hospital cost is determined by the length of stay, and measures designed to reduce length of admissions are likely to be the most effective in reducing the costs of blunt trauma care."
12/17/2018 - "This improved VAC procedure provides an excellent wound bed to facilitate wound healing and shorten the hospital stay."
01/01/2024 - "Robotic approaches to RMS have been shown to decrease hospital stay; however, previous studies have failed to show a significant reduction in wound morbidity. "

01/01/2023 - "Although there is extensive debate for the best treatment strategies, limited studies, which reflect the effects of postoperative severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on mortality and hospital stay after elective gastrointestinal oncologic procedures were published. "
10/01/2017 - "Improved hygiene practices to reduce transmission from symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals and reduced length of stay are most likely to reduce within-hospital transmission and infections; however, these interventions are likely to have a smaller effect on the probability of recurrence. "
06/01/2011 - "EN is less expensive than parenteral nutrition and is favored in most cases because of improvement in patient outcomes, including infections and length of stay. "
01/01/2011 - "The most effective strategies to prevent these infections are reduction of the length of the hospital stay and improvement in device management."
01/01/2023 - "Proven Impact of an Advanced Air Purification System in the Reduction of Infectious Airborne and Surface Pathogens, Concomitant Reduction of Hospital-acquired Infections and Length of Stay, and Improvement in Health-care Economics."

10/01/2020 - "Conclusion: This study suggested that oversewing the staple line during LSG has a significant clinical value: it decreased the incidence of postoperative bleeding, postoperative leakage; moreover, it also significantly prolonged the operative time and but did not change hospital stay. "
07/01/2014 - "Multivariate analysis identified that era of surgery had no significant effect on CKMB release (P = 0.2), mediastinal blood loss (P = 0.4) and in-hospital mortality (P = 0.9), but the latter era of this study was significantly associated with a reduced postoperative length of stay (P < 0.001), reduced ICU length of stay (P < 0.001), reduced need for resternotomy for bleeding (OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.41-0.94, P = 0.02) and improved long-term survival (hazard ratio 0.76, 95% CI 0.59-0.96, P = 0.02). "
03/01/2024 - "The preference for using transradial access (TRA) over transfemoral access (TFA) in patients requiring percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is based on evidence suggesting that TRA is associated with less bleeding and fewer vascular complications, shorter hospital stays, improved quality of life, and a potential beneficial effect on mortality. "
12/01/2022 - "Robotic APRs significantly reduced postoperative complication rate (13.2% vs. 23.7%, p = 0.013), also reduced open conversion rate (0% vs. 2.9%, p = 0.030), intraoperative hemorrhage (median, 100 vs. 130 ml; p < 0.001), 30-day readmission rate (2.3% vs. 6.9%; p = 0.044), postoperative hospital stay (median, 5.0 vs. 7.0 days; p < 0.001), and improved urinary and sexual function. "
12/01/2022 - "Less-invasive surgery was associated with a significant reduction in the postoperative bleeding complications and duration of hospital stay, with no significant difference in mortality incidence."
