Impact of preoperative carbohydrate loading on postoperative course and morbidity in debulking surgery for epithelial ovarian cancer. Exp Ther Med 2024; 27:181. [PMID: 38515650 PMCID: PMC10952341 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2024.12469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Despite the theoretical benefits, the favorable effect of preoperative carbohydrate loading on postoperative morbidity remains controversial. Most of the outcomes reported in the literature are derived from non-gynecologic surgery data, with only one study involving a limited number of patients specifically in gynecological oncology. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of carbohydrate loading, as a single element of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols, on postoperative course and morbidity in patients undergoing debulking surgery for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The present study was a non-randomized, prospective cohort trial enrolling patients with EOC who underwent surgery between June 2018 and December 2021. An oral carbohydrate supplement with a dose of 50 g was given to patients 2-3 h before anesthesia. Data on postoperative course and morbidity were collected and compared with data of a historical cohort including consecutive patients who underwent surgery without a carbohydrate loading between January 2015 and June 2018. Analyses were performed on a total of 162 patients, including 72 patients in the carbohydrate loading group and 90 patients in the control group. Median length of hospital stay (11 days vs. 11 days; P=0.555), postoperative days 1-7 serum c-reactive protein levels (P=0.213), 30-day readmission (11.6% vs. 11.5%, P=0.985), 30-day relaparotomy (2.8% vs. 3.4%, P=0.809) and 30-day morbidity (48.6% vs. 46.7%; P=0.805) were comparable between the cohorts. No significant differences in grades of morbidities were identified between the cohorts (P=0.511). Multivariate analysis revealed that the sole independent risk factor for any postoperative morbidity was operative time. In conclusion, based on the results of the present study, postoperative course and morbidity seemed to be unaffected by carbohydrate loading in patients undergoing debulking surgery for EOC.

Retrospective analysis of preoperative application of triple-modal pre-rehabilitation on postoperative recovery of colorectal cancer patients. Support Care Cancer 2024; 32:217. [PMID: 38453717 DOI: 10.1007/s00520-024-08423-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To retrospectively analyze the difference between triple-modal pre-rehabilitation and common treatment in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS A total of 145 patients with CRC diagnosed by pathology and admitted to our hospital for surgery between June 2020 and June 2022 were included in the study. All patients were divided into two groups: the triple-modal pre-rehabilitation group (pre-rehabilitation group) and the common treatment group. The triple-modal pre-rehabilitation strategy included exercise (3-5 times per week, with each session lasting more than 50 min), nutritional support, and psychological support. The study was designed to assess the potential of the pre-rehabilitation intervention to accelerate postoperative recovery by assessing the 6-min walk test, nutritional indicators, and HADS score before and after surgery. RESULTS The pre-rehabilitation intervention did not reduce the duration of initial postoperative recovery or the incidence of postoperative complications, but it did increase the patients' exercise capacity (as determined by the 6-min walk test), with the pre-rehabilitation group performing significantly better than the common group (433.0 (105.0) vs. 389.0 (103.5), P < 0.001). The study also found that triple-modal pre-rehabilitation was beneficial for the early recovery of nutritional status in surgical patients and improved anxiety and depression in patients after surgery, especially in those who had not received neoadjuvant therapy. CONCLUSION The triple-modal pre-rehabilitation strategy is of significant importance for reducing stress and improving the functional reserve of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) during the perioperative period. The results of our study provide further support for the integration of the triple-modal pre-rehabilitation strategy into the treatment and care of CRC patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION With growing emphasis on surgical safety, it appears fundamental to assess the safety of colorectal resection involving primary stapled anastomosis. Surgical stapling devices can considerably foster patient safety in colorectal surgery, but their misuse or malfunction encompass a unique risk of postoperative complications. The Digital Device Briefing Tool (DDBT) is a digital cognitive aid developed to enhance safe use of the Ethicon circular stapling device during colorectal resection. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how a digital operative workflow, including DDBT, compared with routine surgical care, affects morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing left-sided colorectal resection with primary stapled colorectal anastomosis for colorectal cancer or benign disease. METHODS AND ANALYSIS A multicentre, prospective cohort study will be conducted at five certified academic colorectal centres in Germany. It compares a non-digital with a Johnson & Johnson digital solution (Surgical Process Institute Deutschland (SPI))-guided operative workflow in patients undergoing left hemicolectomy, sigmoidectomy, anterior rectal resection and Hartmann reversal procedure. The sample size is set at 528 cases in total, divided into 3 groups (a non-digital and two SPI-guided workflow cohorts, with and without DDBT) in a ratio of 1:1:1, with 176 patients each. The primary endpoint is a composite outcome comprising the overall rate of surgical complications, including death, during hospitalisation and within the first 30 days after colorectal resection. Secondary endpoints include operating time, length of hospital stay and 30-day hospital readmission rate. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study will be performed in line with the Declaration of Helsinki. The ethics committee of the Charité-University Medicine Berlin, Germany, approved the study (No: 22-0277-EA2/060/22). Study Investigators will obtain written informed consent from each patient before a patient may participate in this study. The study results will be submitted to an international peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER DRKS00029682.

Abstract
Background Enhanced recovery after surgery programs have reduced complications and shortened hospital stays after lung resection. This study aimed to determine whether video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery performed as a two-day surgery for lung neoplasms was safe and cost-effective. Methods This retrospective, propensity-matched, cohort analysis was conducted from January 2020 to August 2020. Among 959 patients who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, 739 underwent inpatient surgery and 220 underwent two-day surgery. Propensity-matched analysis, incorporating preoperative variables, was used to compare postoperative complications, post-discharge follow-up results, and hospitalization costs between the groups. Results Propensity matching estimated 218 patients in each group. The mean length of hospital stay was shorter in the two-day surgery group (2.17 ± 0.89 days) than in the inpatient surgery group (6.31 ± 2.13 days) (P < 0.001). Delayed removal of chest tubes accounted for over half of the delayed discharges in the inpatient (17 [54.8%]) and two-day surgery (13 [65.0%]) groups. The postoperative pneumonia/atelectasis incidence was lower in the two-day surgery group than in the inpatient surgery group (P = 0.032). The two-day surgery group patients were readmitted to the hospital due to massive pleural effusion, pneumothorax, fever, severe chest pain, and physical weakness. The mean total hospitalization cost in the two-day surgery group was lower than that in the inpatient surgery group (¥ 33,926.1 versus ¥ 38,422.7, P < 0.001). Basic medical, nursing, drug, laboratory-related, and nonsurgical consumable costs in the two-day surgery group were significantly reduced. Conclusions Two-day surgery is a safe, feasible, and cost-effective procedure for selected patients with lung neoplasms when combined with accurate preoperative evaluations, successful intraoperative assessments, and effective postoperative health care guidance.

Abstract
This narrative review presents a biological rationale and evidence to describe how the preoperative condition of the patient contributes to postoperative morbidity. Any preoperative condition that prevents a patient from tolerating the physiological stress of surgery (e.g. poor cardiopulmonary reserve, sarcopaenia), impairs the stress response (e.g. malnutrition, frailty), and/or augments the catabolic response to stress (e.g. insulin resistance) is a risk factor for poor surgical outcomes. Prehabilitation interventions that include exercise, nutrition, and psychosocial components can be applied before surgery to strengthen physiological reserve and enhance functional capacity, which, in turn, supports recovery through attaining surgical resilience. Prehabilitation complements Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) care to achieve optimal patient outcomes because recovery is not a passive process and it begins preoperatively.

Abstract
Background Enhanced Recovery Surgical Programs were initially applied to colorectal procedures and used as multimodal approach to relieve the response to surgical stress. An important factor that negatively impacts the success of these programs is the poor tolerance of these patients to certain items in the adopted protocol, especially with regard to post-operative measures. The identification of these factors may help to increase the success rate of such programs, ensuring that benefits reach a greater number of patients and that resources are better allocated. Thus, the aims of this study were to assess the results of the implementation of a Simplified Accelerated Recovery Protocol (SARP) and to identify possible factors associated with failure to implement postoperative protocol measures in patients submitted to laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Methods 161 patients were randomly divided into two groups. The SARP group (n = 84) was submitted to the accelerated recovery program and the CC group (n = 77), to conventional postoperative care. The SARP group was further divided into two subgroups: patients who tolerated the protocol (n = 51) and those who did not (n = 33), in order to analyze factors contributing to protocol nontolerance. Results The groups had similar sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. The SARP group had a shorter hospital stay, better elimination of flatus, was able to walk and to tolerate a diet sooner (p < 0.0001). Complications rates and readmissions to emergency room were similar between groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that prolonged operating time, stoma creation and rates of surgical complications were independently associated with poor adherence to SARP (p < 0.0001). Conclusions The use of our SARP resulted in improved recovery from laparoscopic colorectal surgery and proved to be safe for patients. Extensive surgeries, occurrence of complications, and the need for ostomy were variables associated with poor program adhesion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients scheduled for colorectal surgery with an enhanced recovery program (ERP), feeding after returning home has been insufficiently investigated. The aim of this study was to measure energy and protein intake during the first month at home. METHODS Seventy adult patients scheduled for colorectal surgery with ERP were included. Calorie and protein intakes were calculated, and body weight was measured preoperatively and 3, 7, 15, and 30 days after discharge home. Data are mean ± SD or median (interquartile range). RESULTS Patient characteristics were age 60.0 ± 15.0 years, BMI = 25.9 ± 5.5 kg/m2 , and colon/rectum of 56/14. The duration of hospitalization was 3 (2-5) days. Calorie and protein intakes (21.9 [17.7-28.6] kilocalorie per kilogram of ideal body weight [kcal/kg IBW] and 0.81 [0.61-1.14] g/kg IBW) were significantly reduced (P < .01) by 15% on day 3, compared with preoperative values, and then increased gradually to reach preoperative values after 1 month. Almost 50% of the patients failed to reach the calorie intake target of 25 kcal/kg IBW, and almost no patient reached the protein intake target of 1.5 g/kg IBW 30 days after discharge home. Weight loss after 30 days at home remained at -1.8 ± 2.7 kg. CONCLUSIONS Colorectal surgery, even in an ERP, is associated with energy and protein intake below the targets recommended for the rehabilitation phase and results in weight loss. Whether nutrition counseling and prolonged administration of protein-enriched oral supplements could accelerate weight gain needs to be explored.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Employing an institutional initiative to minimize variance in pediatric surgical care, we implemented a set of perioperative bundled interventions for all colorectal procedures to reduce surgical site infections (SSIs). METHODS Implementation of a standard colon bundle at two children's hospitals began in December 2014. Subjects who underwent a colorectal procedure during the study period were analyzed. Demographics, outcomes, and complications were compared with Wilcoxon Rank-Sum, Chi-square and Fisher exact tests, as appropriate. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to assess the influence of time period (independent of protocol implementation) on the rate of subsequent infection. RESULTS One hundred and forty-five patients were identified (preprotocol=68, postprotocol= 77). Gender, diagnosis, procedure performed and wound classification were similar between groups. Superficial SSIs (21% vs. 8%, p=0.031) and readmission (16% vs. 4%, p=0.021) were significantly decreased following implementation of a colon bundle. Median hospital days, cost, reoperation, intraabdominal abscess, and anastomotic leak were unchanged before and after protocol implementation (all p > 0.05). Multivariable logistic regression found time period to be independent of SSIs (OR: 0.810, 95% CI: 0.576-1.140). CONCLUSION Implementation of a standard pediatric perioperative colon bundle can reduce superficial SSIs. Larger prospective studies are needed to evaluate the impact of colon bundles in reducing complications, hospital stay and cost. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III - Retrospective cohort study.

J Surg Res 2020; 257:153-160. [PMID: 32828999 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2020.07.041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2020] [Revised: 07/12/2020] [Accepted: 07/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of an enhanced recovery protocol including preoperative carbohydrate loading on patients with diabetes is unclear. This study investigated the effect of both on perioperative glucose management and postoperative outcomes in patients with diabetes undergoing colorectal surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery before and after implementation of an enhanced recovery protocol. Ninety-nine patients with type 2 diabetes (DM, 41 control versus 58 enhanced recovery) and 366 patients without diabetes (NDM, 158 control versus 158 enhanced recovery) were included. Multivariate analyses were run to compare mean peak perioperative serum glucose and postoperative outcomes in enhanced recovery and control cohorts with (DM) and without diabetes (NDM). RESULTS Mean peak preoperative glucose was elevated in DM enhanced recovery compared with DM control patients (192.2 [72.2] versus 139.8 [41.4]; P < 0.001). Mean peak intraoperative (162.3 [43.1] versus 163.8 [39.6]; P = 0.869) and postoperative glucose (207.7 [75.8] versus 217.8 [78.5]; P = 0.523) were similar in DM enhanced recovery compared with DM control group. Enhanced recovery led to decreased LOS in DM (P = 0.001) and NDM enhanced recovery patients (P < 0.000) compared with their control groups. CONCLUSIONS An enhanced recovery protocol may lead to increased peak preoperative glucose levels and 30-d readmissions in patients with type 2 diabetes undergoing colorectal surgery. However, the ultimate clinical significance of transiently elevated preoperative glucose in DM patients is uncertain. Our results suggest that an enhanced recovery protocol and preoperative carbohydrate loading does not lead to poorer postoperative glycemic control overall in patients with diabetes undergoing colorectal surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways have been shown to considerably reduce complications, length of stay and costs after most of surgical procedures by standardised application of best evidence-based perioperative care. The aim was to elaborate dedicated recommendations for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) ± hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in a two-part series of guidelines based on expert consensus. The present part II of the guidelines highlights postoperative management and special considerations. METHODS The core group assembled a multidisciplinary panel of 24 experts involved in peritoneal surface malignancy surgery representing the fields of general surgery (n = 12), gynaecological surgery (n = 6), and anaesthesia (n = 6). Experts systematically reviewed and summarized the available evidence on 72 identified perioperative care items, following the GRADE (grading of recommendations, assessment, development, evaluation) system. Final consensus (defined as ≥50%, or ≥70% of weak/strong recommendations combined) was reached by a standardised 2-round Delphi process, regarding the strength of recommendations. RESULTS Response rates were 100% for both Delphi rounds. Quality of evidence was evaluated high, moderate low and very low, for 15 (21%), 26 (36%), 29 (40%) and 2 items, respectively. Consensus was reached for 71/72(98.6%) items. Strong recommendations were defined for 37 items. No consensus could be reached regarding the preemptive use of fresh frozen plasma. CONCLUSION The present ERAS recommendations for CRS ± HIPEC are based on a standardised expert consensus process providing clinicians with valuable guidance. There is an urgent need to produce high quality studies for CRS ± HIPEC and to prospectively evaluate recommendations in clinical practice.

Abstract
BackgroundElective older adult inpatient admissions are increasingly common. Older adults are at an elevated risk of adverse events in hospital, potentially increasing with lengthier hospital stay. Hospital-led organisational strategies may optimise hospital stay for elective older adult inpatients.ObjectivesTo evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of hospital-led multicomponent interventions to reduce hospital stay for older adults undergoing elective hospital admissions.Data sourcesSeven bibliographic databases (MEDLINE, MEDLINE In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations, EMBASE, Health Management Information Consortium, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature and Allied and Complementary Medicine Database) were searched from inception to date of search (August 2017), alongside carrying out of web searches, citation searching, inspecting relevant reviews, consulting stakeholders and contacting authors. This search was duplicated, with an additional cost-filter, to identify cost-effectiveness evidence.Review methodsComparative studies were sought that evaluated the effectiveness or cost-effectiveness of relevant interventions in elective inpatients with a mean or median age of ≥ 60 years. Study selection, data extraction and quality assessment were completed independently by two reviewers. The main outcome was length of stay, but all outcomes were considered. Studies were sorted by procedure, intervention and outcome categories. Where possible, standardised mean differences or odds ratios were calculated. Meta-analysis was performed when multiple randomised controlled trials had the same intervention, treatment procedure, comparator and outcome. Findings were explored using narrative synthesis.FindingsA total of 218 articles were included, with 80 articles from 73 effectiveness studies (n = 26,365 patients) prioritised for synthesis, including 34 randomised controlled trials conducted outside the UK and 39 studies from the UK, of which 12 were randomised controlled trials. Fifteen studies included cost-effectiveness data. The evidence was dominated by enhanced recovery protocols and prehabilitation, implemented to improve recovery from either colorectal surgery or lower limb arthroplasty. Six other surgical categories and four other intervention types were identified. Meta-analysis found that enhanced recovery protocols were associated with 1.5 days’ reduction in hospital stay among patients undergoing colorectal surgery (Cohen’sd = –0.51, 95% confidence interval –0.78 to –0.24;p < 0.001) and with 5 days’ reduction among those undergoing upper abdominal surgery (Cohen’sd = –1.04, 95% confidence interval –1.55 to –0.53;p < 0.001). Evidence from the UK was not pooled (owing to mixed study designs), but it echoed findings from the international literature. Length of stay usually was reduced with intervention or was no different. Other clinical outcomes also improved or were no worse with intervention. Patient-reported outcomes were not frequently reported. Cost and cost-effectiveness evidence came from 15 highly heterogeneous studies and was less conclusive.LimitationsStudies were usually of moderate or weak quality. Some intervention or treatment types were under-reported or absent. The reporting of variance data often precluded secondary analysis.ConclusionsEnhanced recovery and prehabilitation interventions were associated with reduced hospital stay without detriment to other clinical outcomes, particularly for patients undergoing colorectal surgery, lower limb arthroplasty or upper abdominal surgery. The impacts on patient-reported outcomes, health-care costs or additional service use are not well known.Future workFurther studies evaluating of the effectiveness of new enhanced recovery pathways are not required in colorectal surgery or lower limb arthroplasty. However, the applicability of these pathways to other procedures is uncertain. Future studies should evaluate the implementation of interventions to reduce service variation, in-hospital patient-reported outcomes, impacts on health and social care service use, and longer-term patient-reported outcomes.Study registrationThis study is registered as PROSPERO CRD42017080637.FundingThe National Institute for Health Research Health Services and Delivery Research programme.

Hospital characteristics, rather than surgical volume, predict length of stay following colorectal cancer surgery. Aust N Z J Public Health 2019; 44:73-82.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Length of hospital stay (LOS) is considered a vital component for successful colorectal surgery treatment. Evidence of an association between hospital surgery volume and LOS has been mixed. Data modelling techniques may give inconsistent results that adversely impact conclusions. This study applied techniques to overcome possible modelling drawbacks. METHOD An additive quantile regression model formulated to isolate hospital contextual effects was applied to every colorectal surgery for cancer conducted in Victoria, Australia, between 2005 and 2015, involving 28,343 admissions in 90 Victorian hospitals. The model compared hospitals' operational efficiencies regarding LOS. RESULTS Hospital LOS operational efficiencies for colorectal cancer surgery varied markedly between the 90 hospitals and were independent of volume. This result was adjusted for pertinent patient and hospital characteristics. CONCLUSION No evidence was found that higher annual surgery volume was associated with lower LOS for patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery. Our model showed strong evidence that differences in LOS efficiency between hospitals was driven by hospital contextual effects that were not predicted by provider volume. Further study is required to elucidate these inherent differences between hospitals. Implications for public health: Our model indicated improved efficiency would benefit the patient and medical system by lowering LOS and reducing expenditure by more than $3 million per year.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory morbidity is common after esophagectomy and can be a major cause of surgery-related mortality. Thus, it is important to identify novel predictors that can preoperatively estimate the incidence of postoperative respiratory morbidity. Asymptomatic sputum in the respiratory tract is sometimes observed on preoperative computed tomography (CT). This study aimed to determine the clinical importance of sputum in the respiratory tract as a predictor of postoperative morbidity after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included 609 consecutive patients who underwent three-incisional esophagectomy for esophageal cancer between April 2005 and November 2018. RESULTS Among the patients, 76 (12.5%) had sputum in the respiratory tract on preoperative CT. This finding was significantly associated with older age, more extreme smoking habit, worse performance status, lower forced expiratory volume 1%, and more frequent pulmonary comorbidities. Additionally, the incidence of postoperative pneumonia was higher in these patients than in those without sputum (16 vs 8%, p = 0.028). Sputum in the main bronchus was associated with higher frequencies of morbidity of Clavien-Dindo classification (CDc) ≥ II (p = 0.019), severe morbidity of CDc ≥ IIIb (p = 0.058), pneumonia (p = 0.10), and pulmonary morbidity (p = 0.19) compared with the finding of sputum in the trachea alone. On multivariate analysis, sputum in the respiratory tract was an independent risk factor (hazard ratio, 2.07; 95% confidence interval, 1.019-4.207; p = 0.044) for postoperative pneumonia. CONCLUSIONS Sputum in the respiratory tract is a novel predictor of postesophagectomy pneumonia. Patients with sputum in the more distal respiratory tract might have high risk of postoperative morbidities.

Trimodal prehabilitation for colorectal surgery attenuates post-surgical losses in lean body mass: A pooled analysis of randomized controlled trials. Clin Nutr 2018; 38:1053-1060.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Preservation of lean body mass is an important cancer care objective. The capacity for prehabilitation interventions to modulate the lean body mass (LBM) of colorectal cancer patients before and after surgery is unknown. METHODS A pooled analysis of two randomized controlled trials of trimodal prehabilitation vs. trimodal rehabilitation at a single university-affiliated tertiary center employing Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) care was conducted. The prehabilitation interventions included exercise, nutrition, and anxiety-reduction elements that began approximately four weeks before surgery and continued for eight weeks after surgery. The rehabilitation interventions were identical to the prehabilitation interventions but were initiated only after surgery. Body composition, measured using multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis, was recorded at baseline, pre-surgery, 4 and 8 weeks after surgery. The primary outcome was change in LBM before and after colorectal surgery for cancer. A mixed effects regression model was used to estimate changes in body mass and body composition over time controlling for age, sex, baseline body mass index (BMI), baseline six-minute walk test (6MWT), and postoperative compliance to the interventions. NCT02586701 &NCT01356264. RESULTS Pooled data included 76 patients who followed prehabilitation and 63 patients who followed rehabilitation (n = 139). Neither group experienced changes in preoperative LBM. Compared to rehabilitated patients, prehabilitated patients had significantly more absolute and relative LBM at four and eight-weeks post-surgery in models controlling for age, sex, baseline BMI, baseline 6MWT, and compliance to the postoperative intervention. CONCLUSION Trimodal prehabilitation attenuated the post-surgical LBM loss compared to the loss observed in patients who received the rehabilitation intervention. Patients who receive neither intervention (i.e., standard of care) would be likely to lose more LBM. Offering a prehabilitation program to colorectal cancer patients awaiting resection is a useful strategy to mitigate the impact of the surgical stress response on lean tissue in an ERAS setting, and, in turn, might have a positive impact on the cancer care course.

Abstract
Esophagectomy remains the mainstay of curative intent treatment for esophageal cancer. Oncologic esophagectomy is a highly invasive surgery and both morbidity and mortality rates still remain high. Recently, it has been revealed that multidisciplinary perioperative management can decrease the postoperative complications after esophagectomy. In this review, we summarized the recent progress in each component of multidisciplinary perioperative care bundle, including oral hygiene, cessation of smoking and alcohol, respiratory training, measurement of physical fitness, swallowing evaluation and rehabilitation, nutritional support, pain control and management of delirium. The accumulation of evidence and the popularization of knowledge will increase safety of esophagectomy and thus improve the outcome of patients with esophageal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have previously shown that epidural dexmedetomidine, when used as an adjunct to levobupivacaine for control of postoperative pain after open colonic resection, improves recovery of gastrointestinal motility compared with morphine. METHODS Sixty patients undergoing laparoscopic colonic resection were enrolled and allocated randomly to treatment with dexmedetomidine (group D) or morphine (group M). Group D received an epidural loading dose of dexmedetomidine (5 mL, 0.5 μg/kg), followed by continuous epidural administration of dexmedetomidine (80 μg) in 0.125% levobupivacaine (240 mL) at a rate of 5 mL/h for 2 days. Group M received an epidural loading dose of morphine (5 mL, 0.03 mg/kg) followed by continuous epidural administration of morphine (4.5 mg) in 0.125% levobupivacaine (240 mL) at a rate of 5 mL/h for 2 days. Verbal rating score (VRS) of pain, postoperative analgesic requirements, side effects related to analgesia, and time to postoperative first flatus (FFL) and first feces (FFE) were recorded. RESULTS VRS and postoperative analgesic requirements were not significantly different between the treatment groups. In contrast, FFL and FFE were significant delayed in group M compared with group D (P < .05). Patients in group M also had a significantly higher incidence of nausea, vomiting, and pruritus (P < .05). No neurological deficits were observed in either group. CONCLUSIONS Compared with morphine, epidural dexmedetomidine is a better adjunct to levobupivacaine for control of postoperative pain after laparoscopic colonic resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery pathways (ERPs) aim to reduce length of stay without adversely affecting short-term outcomes. High pharmaceutical costs associated with ERP regimens, however, remain a significant barrier to widespread implementation. We hypothesized that ERP would reduce hospital costs after elective colorectal resections, despite the use of more expensive pharmaceutical agents. STUDY DESIGN An ERP was implemented in January 2016 at our institution. We collected data on consecutive colorectal resections for 1 year before adoption of ERP (traditional, n = 160) and compared them with consecutive resections after universal adoption of ERP (n = 146). Short-term surgical outcomes, total direct costs, and direct hospital pharmacy costs were compared between patients who received the ERP and those who did not. RESULTS After implementation of the ERP, median length of stay decreased from 5.0 to 3.0 days (p < 0.01). There were no differences in 30-day complications (8.1% vs 8.9%) or hospital readmission (11.9% vs 11.0%). The ERP patients required significantly less narcotics during their index hospitalization (211.7 vs 720.2 morphine equivalence units; p < 0.01) and tolerated a regular diet 1 day sooner (p < 0.01). Despite a higher daily pharmacy cost ($477 per day vs $318 per day in the traditional cohort), the total direct pharmacy cost for the hospitalization was reduced in ERP patients ($1,534 vs $1,859; p = 0.016). Total direct cost was also lower in ERP patients ($9,791 vs $11,508; p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Implementation of an ERP for patients undergoing elective colorectal resection substantially reduced length of stay, total hospital cost, and direct pharmacy cost without increasing complications or readmission rates. Enhanced recovery pathway after colorectal resection has both clinical and financial benefits. Widespread implementation has the potential for a dramatic impact on healthcare costs.

Abstract
Within traditional clinical care, the postoperative recovery after pelvic/rectal surgery has been slow with high morbidity and long hospital stay. The enhanced recovery after surgery program is a multimodal approach to perioperative care designed to accelerate recovery and safely reduce hospital stay. This review will briefly summarize optimal perioperative care, before, during and after surgery in this group of patients and issues related to implementation and audit.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the rise in severe obesity in Western countries and the increase in bariatric surgery, enhanced recovery (ER) pathways should be developed and promoted. METHODS A monocentric prospective series of 103 bariatric surgery patients managed with the ER pathway (group ER) was compared with a retrospective and immediately previous series of 103 patients managed with standard care (group CS). The aim of the present study was to assess and compare the differences in terms of mean postoperative length of stay (LOS), costs for surgery and recovery, and the differences in terms of complications, readmission, and reoperation rate in the short term between the ER and CS groups. RESULTS The mean LOS was 4.18 days in group CS and 1.79 days in group ER (p < 0.0001). The mean operative time (OT) per patient was 190.20 min in the group CS and 133.54 min in the group ER, resulting in an average cost of 7272.57€ per patient in group CS and 5424.09€ per patient in group ER. The average recovery cost was 1809.94€ for the group CS series and 775.07 for the group ER one. Overall complications (Clavien-Dindo up to II) occurred in 6 patients (5.8 %) in group CS and in 2 patients (1.9 %) in group ER (p = 0.149) and specific complications (Clavien-Dindo IIIb) occurred for 9 patients (8.7 %) in Group CS and for 14 patients (13.5 %) in group ER (p = 0.268) after hospital discharge within 1-month of follow-up. Twelve patients (11.5 %) in group CS and 13 (12.5 %) in group ER were readmitted after discharge (p = 0.831) within 1-month of follow-up; 8 patients (7.7 %) in group CS versus 9 patients (8.8 %) in group ER needed to be reoperated (p = 0.800) within 1-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Enhanced recovery pathway reduces significantly LOS in bariatric surgical patients and shortens the mean OT of the procedure, with no significant differences in terms of surgical outcomes. Furthermore, recovery charges were lower and operative time was shorter allowing for procedural cost reduction.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the safety of gastrectomy without nasogastric and nutritional intubations. Between January 2010 and August 2015, 74 patients with gastric cancer received total gastric resection and esophagogastric anastomosis without nasogastric and nutritional intubations at the First Department of Digestive Surgery of the XiJing Hospital of Digestive Diseases (Xi'an, China), of whom 42 were also received earlier oral feeding within 48 h. The data were retrospectively analyzed. An additional 301 cases who underwent traditional postoperative intubation were used for comparison. In patients without intubation compared with those managed traditionally with intubation, the mean operative time was decreased (190.97±38.18 vs. 216.12±59.52 min, respectively; P=0.026). In addition, the postoperative activity was resumed earlier (1.16±0.47 vs. 1.36±0.84 days, respectively; P=0.009), oral food intake was started earlier (4.28±1.79 vs. 5.71±2.66 days, respectively; P=0.009), the incidence of fever was lower (12.16 vs. 29.23%, respectively; P=0.003), and the incidence of total complications was not statistically significantly different between the two groups (9.41 vs. 6.31%, respectively; P=0.317). There were no significant differences regarding complications of the anastomotic port (1.37 vs. 1.69%, respectively; P=0.849). Compared with traditional postoperative management, earlier oral feeding did not increase the incidence of complications (7.21 vs. 4.76%, respectively; P=0.557). Our results suggest that total gastric resection without nasogastric and nutritional intubation is a safe and feasible option for patients undergoing total gastrectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pre-operative weight loss has been consistently associated with increased post-operative morbidity. The study aims to determine if pre-operative oral nutritional supplements (ONSs) with dietary advice reduce post-operative complications. METHODS Single-blinded randomized controlled trial. People with colorectal cancer scheduled for surgery with pre-operative weight loss >1 kg/3-6 months were randomized by using stratified blocks (1:1 ratio) in six hospitals (1 November 2013-28 February 2015). Intervention group was given 250 mL/day ONS (10.1 KJ and 0.096 g protein per mL) and dietary advice. Control group received dietary advice alone. Oral nutritional supplements were administered from diagnosis to the day preceding surgery. Research team was masked to group allocation. Primary outcome was patients with one or more surgical site infection (SSI) or chest infection; secondary outcomes included percentage weight loss, total complications, and body composition measurements. Intention-to-treat analysis was performed with both unadjusted and adjusted analyses. A sample size of 88 was required. RESULTS Of 101 participants, (55 ONS, 46 controls) 97 had surgery. In intention-to-treat analysis, there were 21/45 (47%) patients with an infection-either an SSI or chest infection in the control group vs. 17/55 (30%) in the ONS group. The odds ratio of a patient incurring either an SSI or chest infection was 0.532 (P = 0.135 confidence interval 0.232 to 1.218) in the unadjusted analysis and when adjusted for random differences at baseline (age, gender, percentage weight loss, and cancer staging) was 0.341 (P = 0.031, confidence interval 0.128 to 0.909). Pre-operative percentage weight loss at the first time point after randomization was 4.1% [interquartile range (IQR) 1.7-7.0] in ONS group vs. 6.7% (IQR 2.6-10.8) in controls (Mann-Whitney U P = 0.021) and post-operatively was 7.4% (IQR 4.3-10.0) in ONS group vs. 10.2% (IQR 5.1-18.5) in controls (P = 0.016). CONCLUSIONS Compared with dietary advice alone, ONS resulted in patients having fewer infections and less weight loss following surgery for colorectal cancer. We have demonstrated that pre-operative oral nutritional supplementation can improve clinical outcome in weight losing patients with colorectal cancer.

Abstract
It remains uncertain whether enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols can be safely implemented for elderly patients, especially after highly complex surgery such as pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). The present study was designed to assess the feasibility and safety of an ERAS protocol in elderly patients undergoing PD. Starting January 2010 to February 2015, we prospectively collected data from 85 consecutive patients who underwent PD with a fast-track program. Data of patients older and younger than 70 years were compared. Endpoints were morbidity, mortality, readmissions, length of stay, and compliance with ERAS elements. Forty-five patients were less than 70 years old and 40 patients were 70 years of age or older. Both mortality (4.4% vs 5%; P = 1.000) and overall morbidity (33.3% vs 37.5%; P = 0.821) did not differ significantly between the groups. Rates of intervention and relaparotomy were similar in both groups. Length of stay (10 vs 11.8 days; P = 0.099) did not differ significantly between the groups, nor did the readmission rates (6.7% vs 5.0%; P = 0.272). There were no differences in compliance with ERAS elements between groups. An ERAS program seems feasible and can be safely implemented for elderly patients undergoing PD.

Abstract
Introduction Lowering morbidity and mortality after RC is subject of considerable interest. Lately, many evidence-based data on improvements in operative technique, anesthetic management, and patient care have been published. In this article, we present a review of literature on how to lower postoperative complications after RC. Material and methods The Medline, and Web of Science databases were searched without a time limit on February 2016 using the terms ‘cystectomy’ in conjunction with ‘radical’, ‘bladder cancer’, ‘complications’ or ‘management’. Boolean operators (NOT, AND, OR) were also used in succession to narrow and broaden the search. The search was limited to the English, Polish and Spanish literature. Results Many complications may be avoided by appropriate patient selection and meticulous introduction of care protocols. Conclusions RC as treatment free of complications, even in the hands of an experienced urologist, does not exist. A large number of complications are acceptable in the name of good long-term results. Optimum results are possible with proper surgical technique, good patients and urinary diversion selection and proper patient management in the pre-, peri, and postoperative period.

Abstract
Colorectal surgery patients frequently suffer from postoperative complications. Patients with complications have been shown to be at higher risk for mortality, poor oncologic outcomes, additional complications, and worse quality of life. Complications are increasingly recognized as markers of quality of care with more use of risk-adjusted national surgical databases and increasing transparency in health care. Quality improvement work in colorectal surgery has identified methods to decrease complication rates and improve outcomes in this patient population. Future work will continue to identify best practices and standardized ways to measure quality of care.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Progressive skeletal muscle loss (sarcopenia) is a negative prognostic factor in patients treated for colorectal cancer. Nevertheless, the clinical impact of those changes in body composition has been analyzed only in patients undergoing open resections. The aim of the study was to assess whether laparoscopy may eliminate the deleterious prognostic impact of sarcopenia and whether the combination with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol may improve postoperative recovery also in sarcopenic patients. METHODS The study included 124 (73M/51F, mean age 65.9 years) patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal resection for cancer. In all of them 16-item ERAS protocol was applied. The L3 skeletal muscle area identified on a preoperative CT scan was used to calculate skeletal muscle index and assess for sarcopenia and myosteatosis. The entire study group was divided into groups regarding the presence of sarcopenia or myosteatosis. The outcome measures were: length of hospital stay, complication rate and functional recovery parameters. RESULTS The prevalence of sarcopenia and myosteatosis was 27.4% and 38.7%, respectively. There was no association between the presence of sarcopenia or myosteatosis and postoperative complications. There were also no differences in the length of stay or readmission rates. Functional recovery (time to first flatus, oral diet tolerance and mobilization) was similar regardless of the presence of muscle depletion. CONCLUSIONS In contrary to traditional surgical approach, laparoscopy can reduce the negative impact of sarcopenia and myosteatosis on treatment results. ERAS protocol does not affect negatively the surgical outcomes in sarcopenic patients, compared to patients without changes in body skeletal mass.

Abstract
Abstract
Surgery represents a major stressor that disrupts homeostasis and can lead to loss of body cell mass. Integrated, multidisciplinary medical strategies, including enhanced recovery programs and perioperative nutrition support, can mitigate the surgically induced metabolic response, promoting optimal patient recovery following major surgery. Clinical therapies should identify those who are poorly nourished before surgery and aim to attenuate catabolism while preserving the processes that promote recovery and immunoprotection after surgery. This review will address the impact of surgery on intermediary metabolism and describe the clinical consequences that ensue. It will also focus on the role of perioperative nutrition, including preoperative nutrition risk, carbohydrate loading, and early initiation of oral feeding (centered on macronutrients) in modulating surgical stress, as well as highlight the contribution of the anesthesiologist to nutritional care. Emerging therapeutic concepts such as preoperative glycemic control and prehabilitation will be discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Esophageal cancer is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide, and esophageal resection is associated with extremely high perioperative morbidity and mortality. A perioperative clinical pathway for esophagectomy patients in which anesthetic care is both integral and standardized has not been described previously. METHODS A continuously refined clinical pathway for perioperative care of the esophagectomy patient has been developed at the Virginia Mason Medical Center over the past 22 years. Ongoing data collection records patient demographics, comorbidities, tumor stage, and various outcomes including intensive care unit and hospital length of stay, surgical complications, and morbidity and mortality rates. RESULTS Over time, patients presenting for surgical treatment of esophageal cancer have had significantly higher Charlson comorbidity scores and a higher incidence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, liver disease, and history of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. During the same period, intensive care unit and hospital length of stays have decreased, whereas most complication rates have remained stable despite more advanced tumor stage and increased use of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. In-hospital and 30-day mortality rates are well below national averages at 0.5% each. CONCLUSIONS We present a detailed anesthetic and surgical perioperative pathway for esophageal resection, along with evidence of improved or stable patient outcomes despite an increase in comorbidity burden and increasingly advanced tumor stage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative ileus (POI) has a significant impact on patient wellbeing, and with a 15% incidence in colectomy patients costs US hospitals >$1.3 billion per year. Although some causative mechanisms have been identified, little is known about what places patients at risk for ileus. We aimed to identify factors that independently influence the development of POI. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who underwent elective surgery between 2011 and 2012 were identified from the colectomy-specific American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and demographics, comorbidities, preoperative treatments, and operative characteristics were evaluated as risk factors using multivariate analyses. RESULTS A total of 9734 patients were included in this analysis; 1364 (14%) were found to have POI. Patients who developed an ileus were more likely to develop any postoperative complication, to be readmitted, and require reoperation compared with patients without POI. In addition, we identified 13 independent risk factors for POI. CONCLUSIONS Five modifiable risk factors for development of POI were identified as follows: smoking, weight loss, preoperative oral antibiotics, mechanical bowel preparation, and surgical approach. These identifications provide insight into possible targets for preoperative modification, which may lead to improvements in patients' quality of life and influence outcomes such as postoperative complications, readmission, and reoperation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery (ER) protocols are used widely in surgical practice. As protocols are multidisciplinary with multiple components, it is difficult to compare and contrast reports. The present study examined compliance and transferability to clinical practice among ER publications related to colorectal surgery. METHODS PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Central Register databases were searched for current colorectal ER manuscripts. Each publication was assessed for the number of ER elements, whether the element was explained sufficiently so that it could be transferred to clinical practice, and compliance with the ER element. RESULTS Some 50 publications met the reporting criteria for inclusion. A total of 22 ER elements were described. The median number of elements included in each publication was 9, and the median number of included patients was 130. The elements most commonly included in ER pathways were early postoperative diet advancement (49, 98 per cent) and early mobilization (47, 94 per cent). Early diet advancement was sufficiently explained in 43 (86 per cent) of the 50 publications, but only 22 (45 per cent) of 49 listing the variable reported compliance. The explanation for early mobilization was satisfactory in 41 (82 per cent) of the 50 publications, although only 14 (30 per cent) of 47 listing the variable reported compliance. Other ER elements had similar rates of explanation and compliance. The most frequently analysed outcome measures were morbidity (49, 98 per cent), length of stay (47, 94 per cent) and mortality (45, 90 per cent). CONCLUSION The current standard of reporting is frequently incomplete. To transfer knowledge and facilitate implementation of pathways that demonstrate improvements in perioperative care and recovery, a consistent structured reporting platform is needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE Given that postoperative ileus is common in colectomy patients, we sought to examine the association of ileus with adverse events in this patient population. METHODS The ACS NSQIP puf file from 2012 to 2013 was queried for non-emergent colectomy cases. Predictors of other poor postoperative outcomes in patients who experienced postoperative ileus were assessed using chi-squared and multivariable regression analyses. Chi-squared analysis was used to assess for additive effects of ileus and other postoperative complications on mortality. p Values <0.05 were considered significant. RESULTS We identified 32,392 patients who underwent non-emergent colectomy. Longer length of stay, higher complication, reoperation, readmission, and mortality rates were identified in patients with ileus (p < 0.001 for all). Overall, 59% of patients with ileus had at least one adverse outcome, compared with 25% of patients without ileus (p < 0.001). Patients who developed ileus in the absence of other complications had an identical mortality rate to patients without ileus (1%). Additional complications led to incremental increases in mortality rates. CONCLUSIONS Patients with ileus and multiple complications are at significantly increased risk for adverse outcomes. Older patients with more comorbidity were found to be at risk for adverse outcomes in addition to ileus, begging the question of whether these patients may benefit from preoperative optimization.

Abstract
A reduction to 2 days the length of stay after a major surgery is possible by enhancing patient empowerment and decreasing morbidity. A rapid patient's empowerment is obtained by the use of means that reduce the impact of the surgical stress and facilitate the recovery. The decrease in postoperative morbidity is obtained by improving the perioperative quality of care. All of these means are gathered in enhanced recovery programs that are clinical pathways designed by a multidisciplinary and multiprofessional team. Regular audits are mandatory for the sustainability of these programs. Organization of a network between hospital and out-of-hospital caregivers is important in order to secure the patient's return home.

Abstract
Introduction The elderly will soon constitute 20% of the population. Their number is constantly rising, particularly in developed countries. It was found that they particularly benefit from the use of minimally invasive surgery. The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol may further improve clinical outcomes in this group of patients. Aim To assess the implementation of the ERAS protocol in elderly patients submitted to laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Material and methods Ninety-two patients who underwent elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery were included in the study. Patients were divided into group 1 (≤ 65 years) and group 2 (> 65 years). Perioperative care was based on ERAS Society guidelines. Length of hospital stay, time of first stool passage, perioperative complications and readmissions were analyzed. Results Group 2 patients had higher ASA grades in comparison to group 1. In all cases, oral fluid intake started on the day of surgery. The groups did not differ according to oral fluid tolerance, first stool passage time or length of hospital stay. Number and character of perioperative complications were comparable between the two groups. Four patients were readmitted within 30 days after discharge. One patient required reoperation. Conclusions Implementation of the ERAS protocol is possible regardless of the age of surgical patients. Its use in the elderly allows the length of hospitalization to be shortened and is not associated with higher risk of postoperative complications or readmissions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The preoperative period (prehabilitation) may represent a more appropriate time than the postoperative period to implement an intervention. The impact of prehabilitation on recovery of function al exercise capacity was thus studied in patients undergoing colorectal resection for cancer. METHODS A parallel-arm single-blind superiority randomized controlled trial was conducted. Seventy-seven patients were randomized to receive either prehabilitation (n = 38) or rehabilitation (n = 39). Both groups received a home-based intervention of moderate aerobic and resistance exercises, nutritional counseling with protein supplementation, and relaxation exercises initiated either 4 weeks before surgery (prehabilitation) or immediately after surgery (rehabilitation), and continued for 8 weeks after surgery. Patients were managed with an enhanced recovery pathway. Primary outcome was functional exercise capacity measured using the validated 6-min walk test. RESULTS Median duration of prehabilitation was 24.5 days. While awaiting surgery, functional walking capacity increased (≥ 20 m) in a higher proportion of the prehabilitation group compared with the rehabilitation group (53 vs. 15%, adjusted P = 0.006). Complication rates and duration of hospital stay were similar. The difference between baseline and 8-week 6-min walking test was significantly higher in the prehabilitation compared with the rehabilitation group (+23.7 m [SD, 54.8] vs. -21.8 m [SD, 80.7]; mean difference 45.4 m [95% CI, 13.9 to 77.0]). A higher proportion of the prehabilitation group were also recovered to or above baseline exercise capacity at 8 weeks compared with the rehabilitation group (84 vs. 62%, adjusted P = 0.049). CONCLUSION Meaningful changes in postoperative functional exercise capacity can be achieved with a prehabilitation program.

Abstract
AIM: To study the implementation of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program at a large University Hospital from “pilot study” to “standard of care”.
METHODS: The study was designed as a prospective single centre cohort study. A prospective evaluation of compliance to a protocol based on full application of all ERAS principles, through the progressive steps of its implementation, was performed. Results achieved in the initial pilot study conducted by a dedicated team (n = 47) were compared to those achieved in the shared protocol phase (n = 143) three years later. Outcomes were length of postoperative hospital stay, readmission rate, compliance to the protocol and morbidity. Primary endpoint was the description of the results and the identification of critical issues of large scale implementation of an ERAS program in colorectal surgery emerged in the experience of a single center. Secondary endpoint was the identification of interventions that have been proven to be effective for facilitating the transition from traditional care pathways to a multimodal management protocol according to ERAS principles in colorectal surgery at a single center.
RESULTS: During the initial pilot study (March 2009 to December 2010; 47 patients) conducted by a dedicated multidisciplinary team, compliance to the items of ERAS protocol was 93%, with a median length of hospital stay (LOS) of 3 d. Early anastomotic fistulas were observed in 2 cases (4.2%), which required reoperation (Clavien-Dindo grade IIIb). None of the patients had been discharged before the onset of the complication, which could therefore receive prompt treatment. There were also four (8.5%) minor complications (Clavien-Dindo grade II). Thirty days readmission rate was 4%. Perioperative mortality was nil. After implementation of the protocol throughout the Hospital in unselected patients (May 2012 to December 2012; 147 patients) compliance was 74%, with a median LOS of 6 d. Early anastomotic fistulas were observed in 11 cases (7.7%), 5 (3.5%) of which required reoperation (Clavien-Dindo grade IIIb). Two early anastomotic fistulas were treated by radiologic/endoscopic manoeuvres and 4 were treated conservatively. There were also 36 (25.2%) minor complications, 21 (14.7%) of which were Clavien-Dindo grade II and 15 (10.5%) of which were Clavien-Dindo grade I. Only two patients whose course was adversely affected by the development of an anastomotic leak had been discharged before the onset of the complication itself, requiring readmission. Readmission rate within 30 d was 4%. Perioperative mortality was 1%.
CONCLUSION: Our results confirm that introduction of an ERAS protocol for colorectal surgery allows quicker postoperative recovery and shortens the length of stay compared to historical series.

Abstract
Diverticulosis of the colon is a common disease with an increasing incidence in Western Countries. It represents a significant burden for National Health Systems in terms of costs. Most people with diverticulosis remain asymptomatic, about one quarter of them will develop an episode of symptomatic diverticular disease and up to 5% an episode of acute diverticulitis (AD). AD shows an increasing prevalence. Recently, progresses have been reached about the etiology, pathogenesis, natural course of diverticular disease and its complications; improvements about the diagnosis and treatment of AD have been achieved. However, the treatment options are not well defined because of a lack of solid evidence: there are few systematic reviews and well conducted trials to guide decision-making in the treatment of AD and in the prevention of its recurrences. This review describes the recent evidence about diagnosis, treatment and prevention of AD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) on morbidity (e.g., anastomotic leakage and surgical site infection) have been evaluated. Its effect on early recovery after surgery has drawn renewed attention, and its use is discouraged in the postsurgical management of enhanced recovery. However, most surgeons in Japan prefer polyethylene glycol (PEG) for MBP. We investigated the effect of MBP with PEG on postoperative intestinal motility. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prospectively evaluated a consecutive series of 258 colon cancer patients who underwent colonic resection and primary anastomosis. We orally administered 2000 mL of PEG in the PEG group and did not administer PEG to patients in the no-PEG group. Postoperative gastrointestinal motility was assessed with radiopaque markers. All patients ingested radiopaque markers 2 h before surgery. Postoperative intestinal motility was radiologically assessed by counting the number of residual markers. Abdominal radiography was conducted on postoperative days 1, 3, and 5 to count residual markers in the large and small intestines. RESULTS The total number of residual markers in the no-PEG group was less than that in the PEG group on day 5 (P < 0.01) but not on days 1 and 3. On all 3 d, the numbers of residual markers in the small intestine were significantly less in the no-PEG group than in the PEG group (P < 0.001). There were no differences in postoperative complications between the no-PEG and PEG groups. CONCLUSIONS PEG can negatively affect postoperative intestinal motility, and MBP using PEG is unnecessary in elective colon cancer surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE The complexity of "fast track" (FT) surgery might decrease its applicability in daily practice and extensive diffusion. The aim of this study was to understand if the positive effect of FT on the outcome might be affected by the number, type, level of evidence of the components, or their possible combinations. METHODS We performed a Medline, Embase, Pubmed, and Cochrane Library literature search of randomized and non-randomized trials comparing FT to conventional care (CC) in elective colorectal operations. By a meta-analytic approach, the effect of FT was estimated by the risk ratio (RR) with a 95 % confidence interval (CI) for the risk of post-operative complications. RESULTS The analysis included 53 studies (36 non-RCTs with and 17 RCTs), with 4,100 patients in the FT group and 4,424 patients in the CC group for a total of 8,524 patients. Fifty-six different item combinations were observed. The median rate of strategy implementation was 50 %. The positive effect of FT over CC was observed regardless the number (<10 vs. ≥10) of strategies used (RR = 0.80; 95 % CI 0.66-0.98 and RR = 0.75; 95 % CI 0.65-0.87, respectively), the application of items with strong vs. low level evidence (RR = 0.78; 95 % CI 0.67-0.90 and RR = 0.76; 95 % CI 0.63-0.92, respectively), or the frequency (≥80 vs. <80 %) of items implemented (RR = 0.80; 95 % CI 0.69-0.93 and RR = 0.73; 95 % CI 0.61-0.87, respectively). CONCLUSION The positive effects of FT seem to be achieved regardless the multiplicity and variance of item grouping.

Andeweg CS, Mulder IM, Felt-Bersma RJF, Verbon A, van der Wilt GJ, van Goor H, Lange JF, Stoker J, Boermeester MA, Bleichrodt RP. Guidelines of diagnostics and treatment of acute left-sided colonic diverticulitis. Dig Surg 2013; 30:278-92. [PMID: 23969324 DOI: 10.1159/000354035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 125] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2013] [Accepted: 06/25/2013] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of acute left-sided colonic diverticulitis (ACD) is increasing in the Western world. To improve the quality of patient care, a guideline for diagnosis and treatment of diverticulitis is needed. METHODS A multidisciplinary working group, representing experts of relevant specialties, was involved in the guideline development. A systematic literature search was conducted to collect scientific evidence on epidemiology, classification, diagnostics and treatment of diverticulitis. Literature was assessed using the classification system according to an evidence-based guideline development method, and levels of evidence of the conclusions were assigned to each topic. Final recommendations were given, taking into account the level of evidence of the conclusions and other relevant considerations such as patient preferences, costs and availability of facilities. RESULTS The natural history of diverticulitis is usually mild and treatment is mostly conservative. Although younger patients have a higher risk of recurrent disease, a higher risk of complications compared to older patients was not found. In general, the clinical diagnosis of ACD is not accurate enough and therefore imaging is indicated. The triad of pain in the lower left abdomen on physical examination, the absence of vomiting and a C-reactive protein >50 mg/l has a high predictive value to diagnose ACD. If this triad is present and there are no signs of complicated disease, patients may be withheld from further imaging. If imaging is indicated, conditional computed tomography, only after a negative or inconclusive ultrasound, gives the best results. There is no indication for routine endoscopic examination after an episode of diverticulitis. There is no evidence for the routine administration of antibiotics in patients with clinically mild uncomplicated diverticulitis. Treatment of pericolic or pelvic abscesses can initially be treated with antibiotic therapy or combined with percutaneous drainage. If this treatment fails, surgical drainage is required. Patients with a perforated ACD resulting in peritonitis should undergo an emergency operation. There is an ongoing debate about the optimal surgical strategy. CONCLUSION Scientific evidence is scarce for some aspects of ACD treatment (e.g. natural history of ACD, ACD in special patient groups, prevention of ACD, treatment of uncomplicated ACD and medical treatment of recurrent ACD), leading to treatment being guided by the surgeon's personal preference. Other aspects of the management of patients with ACD have been more thoroughly researched (e.g. imaging techniques, treatment of complicated ACD and elective surgery of ACD). This guideline of the diagnostics and treatment of ACD can be used as a reference for clinicians who treat patients with ACD.

Thromboembolism prevention in surgery of digestive cancer. ABCD-ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS DE CIRURGIA DIGESTIVA 2013; 25:216-23.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The venous thromboembolism is a common complication after surgical treatment in general and, in particular, on the therapeutic management on cancer. Surgery of the digestive tract has been reported to induce this complication. Patients with digestive cancer have substantial increased risk of initial or recurrent thromboembolism. AIM To provide to surgeons working in digestive surgery and general surgery guidance on how to make safe thromboprophylaxis for patients requiring operations in the treatment of their gastrointestinal malignancies. METHODS The guideline was based on 15 relevant clinical issues and related to the risk factors, treatment and prognosis of the patient undergoing surgical treatment of cancer on digestive tract. They focused thromboembolic events associated with operations and thromboprophylaxis. The questions were structured using the PICO (Patient, Intervention or Indicator, Comparison and Outcome), allowing strategies to generate evidence on the main primary bases of scientific information (Medline / Pubmed, Embase, Lilacs / Scielo, Cochrane Library, PreMedline via OVID). Evidence manual search was also conducted (BDTD and IBICT). The evidence was recovered from the selected critical evaluation using discriminatory instruments (scores) according to the category of the question: risk, prognosis and therapy (JADAD Randomized Clinical Trials and New Castle Ottawa Scale for studies not randomized). After defining potential studies to support the recommendations, they were selected by the strength of evidence and grade of recommendation according to the classification of Oxford, including the available evidence of greater strength. RESULTS A total of 53,555 papers by title and / or abstract related to issue were found. Of this total were selected (1st selection) 478 studies that were evaluated as full-text. From them to support the recommendations were included in the consensus 132 papers. The 15 questions could be answered with evidence grade of articles with 31 A, 130 B, 1 C and 0 D. CONCLUSION It was possible to prepare safe recommendations as guidance for thromboembolism prophylaxis in operations on the digestive tract malignancies, addressing the most frequent topics of everyday work of digestive and general surgeons.
