[Study of the length of a stay of partial gastroduodenectomized patients].
The length of stay for 482 partial gastrectomy patients in the Servico de Cirurgia de Ribeirao Preto in the period from 1960 to 1974 is compared with that of four other neighbor hospitals for the year 1973. There was reduction in the length of stay during these years and it was more obvious when compared the other four hospitals. The authors claim that early discharge and home management should always be recommended and suggest an analysis of factors interfering with length of stay.
