Abstract:

Objective

To explore the impact of preoperative prehabilitation on postoperative recovery in patients undergoing abdominal incisional hernia repair.

Methods

A total of 108 patients who underwent abdominal incisional hernia repair under general anesthesia at Huadong Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University between February 2023 and March 2024 were enrolled in this study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups:the control group (n=56), which received conventional care, and the experimental group (n=52), which received a preoperative prehabilitation program in addition to conventional care. The quality of recovery-15 (QoR-15) scores, length of hospital stay, and incidences of postoperative pain and anxiety were compared between the two groups.

Results

On postoperative days 1, 3, and 7, the QoR-15 scores in the control group were (81.39±11.80), (92.71±12.75), and (107.59±14.07) points, respectively,whereas the scores in the experimental group were (92.42±13.10), (109.15±11.74), and (120.62±11.63) points,respectively. The differences were statistically significant (P<0.001). The postoperative self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) score in the experimental group [39.38 (35.00, 43.75) points]was significantly lower than that in the control group [52.52 (50.00, 56.25) points; (P<0.001]. The median postoperative length of hospital stay in the experimental group [6.0 (5.00, 8.00) days]was significantly shorter than that in the control group [8.5(6.00, 10.00) days; P<0.05]. The incidence of reported postoperative pain was significantly lower in the experimental group compared to the control group (P<0.05).

Conclusion

A preoperative prehabilitation program can effectively promote enhanced recovery after surgery in patients undergoing abdominal incisional hernia repair by reducing postoperative pain and anxiety and shortening the length of hospital stay.
