Abstract
Objective: To assess the treatment outcomes of patients using early mobilization aids following uterine and ovarian surgery at the Department of Adnexal Surgery, Nghe An Oncology Hospital in 2024.
Participants and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on over 150 patients who underwent uterine and ovarian resections at the Department of Adnexal Surgery, Nghe An Oncology Hospital. The effectiveness of early mobilization aids was assessed based on patient compliance and recovery progress. Early mobilization aids, developed as a hospital-level technical innovation in 2023, were implemented at Nghe An Oncology Hospital under Conclusion No. 104/BC-BVUB (January 15, 2024).
Results: All patients strictly adhered to early mobilization instructions, achieving a 100% compliance rate. Most patients actively performed early mobilization exercises at a high rate. The mean time for patients to sit up and ambulate independently was 2.1 ± 0.32 days. The mean time for drain removal was 2.9 ± 0.12 days, and the mean length of postoperative hospitalization was 6.35 ± 1.44 days. The postoperative complication rate was only 1.4%.
Conclusion: Early mobilization aids significantly improved recovery outcomes for patients undergoing uterine and ovarian surgery. The implementation of these aids should be encouraged in clinical practice to enhance postoperative recovery and reduce complications.
