Brief Summary: Aim The aim is to evaluate the outcome after spine surgery when using an integrated program that combined preoperative prevention and early postoperative rehabilitation compared to the routine procedures

Outcome measurements Postoperative hospital stay complications function pain and patient satisfaction

Method 60 patients scheduled for surgery for degenerative lumbar disease The control group followed the routines in the department The intervention group followed the integrated program consisting of preoperative prevention
Detailed Description: Introduction An increasing number of patients undergo surgery for degenerative spine disease which is however related to a significant development of postoperative complications Evidence has been gathered for other surgical procedures about improved outcome after early rehabilitation programs fast track surgery preoperative smoking and alcohol cessation programs respectively Hitherto no studies have been published concerning a combined program of the preoperative prevention programs and fast track surgery

Aim The aim is to evaluate the outcome after spine surgery when using an integrated program that combined preoperative prevention and early postoperative rehabilitation compared to the routine procedures

Outcome measurements Postoperative hospital stay complications function pain and patient satisfaction

Method 60 patients scheduled for surgery for degenerative lumbar disease were computer-randomized to intervention The control group followed the routines in the department The intervention group followed the integrated program consisting of preoperative prevention which began 2 months prior to the operation an exercise program designed to strengthen the muscles of the spine and optimization of the analgetic treatment Smokers and harmful drinkers were offered cessation intervention The day before surgery all had enteral protein supplement

Early postoperative rehabilitation included balanced pain therapy including self-administered epidural analgesia intensified mobilization immediately after surgery and enteral protein supplement
