The Fast Track Surgery in Perioperative Nursing of HoLEP Operation

Objective: The Fast-track surgery for transurethral holmium laser prostatectomy a perioperative nursing research study.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of transurethral holmium laser enucleation of the prostate in 89 patients with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) who were admitted to and treated at our hospital between 2018 and 2019. Measures such as early postoperative feeding and early catheter removal, adequate preoperative preparation, psychological counseling, intraoperative warming, unobstructed lavage, ensuring postoperative sleep, indwelling analgesic pump, and prevention and treatment of postoperative complications, as well as a successful job in postoperative health guidance and discharge guidance, were all implemented, and the extubation was performed, during the perioperative period in which advanced fast track surgery was used.

Results: All 89 patients who underwent holmium laser enucleation of the prostate made a full recovery, with only one experiencing post-operative recurrent hyphema, five experiencing post-operative urinary tract infection, and ten experiencing transient and urge urinary incontinence; all were discharged after conservative treatment.

Conclusion: Using fast track surgery as a guide for perioperative care of HoLEP surgeries might lessen the number of issues that arise after surgery and help patients get back to normal quicker.
