Đánh giá sự phục hồi của người bệnh sau phẫu thuật nội soi cắt túi mật tại Bệnh viện Đa khoa Quốc tế Vinmec Times City

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) stands as the gold standard for treating various gallbladder diseases, offering significant advantages such as minimal invasiveness, reduced pain, and shorter hospital stays. Its increasing adoption in private healthcare institutions, such as Vinmec Times City International General Hospital, underscores the growing demand for high-quality, efficient surgical care. Evaluating postoperative recovery is paramount for optimizing patient outcomes, enhancing care quality, and ensuring patient satisfaction. While much research focuses on surgical techniques and complication rates, a comprehensive assessment of holistic patient recovery, including factors like physical independence and psychological well-being, remains less explored, particularly within Vietnamese private hospital contexts. This study addresses this gap by investigating the characteristics and recovery profiles of patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy at a prominent private hospital.

Surgeons, anesthesiologists, nursing staff, hospital administrators, healthcare quality improvement specialists, and medical researchers interested in surgical outcomes and patient recovery in private healthcare settings.

This prospective descriptive study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the characteristics and postoperative recovery of 93 patients following laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Vinmec Times City International General Hospital between October 2024 and August 2025. The methodology involved collecting demographic data, clinical characteristics, and detailed recovery metrics. Patient recovery was assessed using the QoR-15 questionnaire, a robust tool encompassing pain, physical comfort, functional independence, psychological support, and emotional status, with scores ranging from 0 (poor) to 150 (excellent recovery). Key indicators such as time to oral intake, time to mobilization, and length of hospital stay were also meticulously recorded. The findings revealed remarkably early patient recovery and a low rate of complications. The mean QoR-15 score was 137.00 ± 11.65, indicating a consistently good level of recovery. A substantial 86% of patients were classified as having good or excellent recovery. Patients demonstrated swift return to normal activities, with an average time to oral intake of 2.97 hours and mobilization at 4.62 hours post-surgery. The average hospital stay was notably short, at 1.76 days. These results underscore the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed at Vinmec Times City. The study highlights that patients undergoing this procedure at the hospital experience rapid and high-quality recovery, enabling early return to daily activities. The implications suggest that these positive outcomes contribute significantly to patient satisfaction and reinforce the value of adopting minimally invasive surgical techniques coupled with comprehensive postoperative care protocols in modern healthcare facilities.
