Description
Kang Li and co-authors present a 2025 study of how long patients should fast after keyhole removal of small gullet tumours. Two scope methods both leave a raw patch that must heal. The team compared long and short fasts in past patients, using matching to balance the groups.
Discomfort and complication rates did not differ between short and long fasts. Hospital stay, though, was about a day shorter with the short fast, for both methods. Extra checks that mimic a strict trial gave the same pattern. The authors back short fasting for small tumours as safe and more efficient. Care teams can free beds without added risk.
