AbstractThe origins of the fast track concept in the field of elective colon surgery can be traced back to the beginning of the 1990s. The first studies performed by Kehlet et al. sparked interest in this new form of patient management among physicians and hospital administrators. Different fast track programs for patients undergoing radical cystectomy can be found in the current literature. The goal of the prevailing fast track concepts is to reduce the perioperative burden, optimize postoperative convalescence, decrease the postoperative need for analgesics, lower the postoperative morbidity rate, and shorten hospital stays.
