Abstract    Objective    To investigate the effectiveness and safety of using fast track surgery in partial small intestinal resections. Methods    The clinical data of 19 patients with small intestinal disease underwent partial small intestinal resections and fast track surgery (FTS) procedures at Clinical School of Medicine Nanjing University, Nanjing Hospital of Nanjing Command of PLA were analyzed retrospectively. The data included operative time, blood loss, length of incision, time for passage of flatus, postoperative hospital stay, operative complications and result of follow-up. Results    All the patients were treated by partial intestinal resections. The mean operative time was (46.1±18.7) min. Blood loss volume was (19.1±14.2) mL. Length of incision was (3.6±1.2) cm. Time for passage of flatus was (26.6±8.7) h. Time for away from the bed was (9.5±5.2) h and postoperative hospital stay was (3.2±2.1) d. No lesions were missed and no operative complications and death occurred in all patients. Conclusion    FTS could accelerate the recovery after partial small intestinal resection.
