Abstract
Background Carbohydrate drinking 2-3 hours before surgery has been widely adopted in colorectal operations. However, there is little direct evidence regarding its application in gastric cancer surgery. We aimed to evaluate the gastric residual volume, safety, and effectiveness of drinking 250 mL of 5% glucose solution 2-3 hours before elective gastric cancer surgery. Methods We conducted an investigator-initiated, multicenter, randomized-controlled, parallel group, and equivalence trial. Eighty-eight patients with gastric adenocarcinoma were randomized into study or control group. Patients in the control group followed the traditional routine of 6-8 hours preoperative fasting, while those in the study group drank 250 mL of 5% glucose solution 2-3 hours before surgery. Immediately following tracheal intubation, gastric contents were aspirated through gastroscopy. The primary outcome was preoperative gastric residual volume. Results Eighty-three patients were eventually analysed in the study (42 in the study group and 41 in the control group). Two groups were comparable at baseline characteristics. There were no statistical differences in residual gastric fluid volumes (35.86 ± 27.13 vs 27.70 ± 20.37 mL, P = 0.135) and pH values (2.81 ± 1.99 vs 2.66 ± 1.68, P = 0.708) between the two groups. Preoperative discomfort was significantly more decreased in the study group than in the control group (thirst score: 1.49 ± 1.23 vs 4.14 ± 2.07, P < 0.001; hunger score: 1.66 ± 1.18 vs 3.00 ± 2.32, P = 0.007). There was no statistical difference in the incidence of postoperative complications (19.05% vs 17.07%, P = 0.815). Conclusions Drinking 250 mL of 5% glucose solution 2-3 hours before surgery in elective gastric cancer patients shows benefits in lowering thirst and hunger scores without increasing gastric residual volume and perioperative complications.

Front Oncol 2024; 14:1390065. [PMID: 39296982 PMCID: PMC11408281 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1390065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Early oral feeding (EOF) has been shown to improve postoperative recovery for many surgeries. However, surgeons are still skeptical about EOF after gastric cancer surgery due to possible side effects. This updated systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of EOF in patients after gastric cancer surgery. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating EOF in patients after gastric cancer surgery were searched in the databases of PubMed, Embase, Clinicaltrials.gov, and Cochrane from 2005 to 2023, and an updated meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results The results of 11 RCTs involving 1,352 patients were included and scrutinized in this analysis. Hospital days [weighted mean difference (WMD), -1.72; 95% confidence interval (CI), -2.14 to -1.30; p<0.00001), the time to first flatus (WMD, -0.72; 95% CI, -0.99 to -0.46; p<0.00001), and hospital costs (WMD, -3.78; 95% CI, -4.50 to -3.05; p<0.00001) were significantly decreased in the EOF group. Oral feeding tolerance [risk ratio (RR), 1.00; 95% CI, 0.95-1.04; p=0.85), readmission rates (RR, 1.28; 95% CI, 0.50-3.28; p=0.61), postoperative complications (RR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.81-1.29; p=0.84), anastomotic leakage (RR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.25-2.78; p=0.76), and pulmonary infection (RR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.31-1.39; p=0.27) were not significantly statistical between two groups. Conclusion This meta-analysis reveals that EOF could reduce hospital days, the time to first flatus, and hospital costs, but it was not associated with oral feeding tolerance, readmission rates, or postoperative complications especially anastomotic leakage and pulmonary infection, regardless of whether laparoscopic or open surgery, partial or total gastrectomy, or the timing of EOF initiation.

Abstract
Data supporting the safety and clinical efficacy of early oral feeding (EOF) after total gastrectomy are limited. The aim of this prospective randomized controlled study was to explore the safety and clinical efficacy of two early enteral nutrition approaches for gastric cancer patients after radical total gastrectomy. The EOF group had faster postoperative recovery of intestinal function than the enteral tube feeding (ETF) group. The times to first flatus and first defecation were shorter in the EOF group (p < 0.05). In addition, the EOF protocol effectively avoided abdominal distension (p < 0.05). The hospitalization cost of the EOF group was lower than that of the ETF group (p < 0.05). Moreover, oral nutrition satisfied the physiological need for oral intake. People were more satisfied with EOF (p < 0.01). Furthermore, it is worth noting that compared with ETF, EOF did not increase the risk of anastomotic complications such as leakage and bleeding. Most obviously, EOF not only avoided the risk of complications during tube insertion, but also avoided the discomfort experience of nasal feeding tube. In summary, compared with ETF, EOF promotes early bowel recovery effectively without increasing the risk of postoperative complications. It is safe and comfortable for gastric cancer patients undergoing radical total gastrectomy.

Abstract
Background: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are proposed to enhance perioperative care, but their impact on various surgical outcomes requires further insight. Objective: This extensive meta-analysis aimed to systematically estimate the effectiveness of ERAS in reducing postoperative complications and improving recovery metrics. Materials and Methods: We meticulously searched multiple databases and rigorously screened studies, ultimately including 16 high-quality research articles in our meta-analysis. We carefully assessed heterogeneity using the Cochran Q test and I2 index. Results were visualized using forest plots, displaying effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: The current meta-analysis reveals compelling evidence of ERAS protocols' impact on postoperative effects. Lung infection rates were significantly reduced, with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.4393 (95% CI: 0.2674; 0.7216, p = 0.0012), highlighting the protocols' effectiveness. Although the reduction in surgical site infections (SSIs) was not significant, with an OR of 0.8003 (95% CI: 0.3908; 1.6389, p = 0.5425), the data suggests a trend toward benefit. Urinary tract infections (UTI) also showed a promising decrease, with an OR of 0.4754 (95% CI: 0.2028; 1.1143, p = 0.0871), revealing ERAS protocols may mitigate UTI risks. No significant effects were observed on postoperative anastomotic leakage or ileus, with ORs indicating neutrality. The incidence of readmission was similarly unaffected, with an OR of 1.4018 (95% CI: 0.6860; 2.8647, p = 0.3543). These outcomes underscore the selective efficacy of ERAS protocols, advocating for their strategic implementation to optimize surgical recovery. Conclusions: This meta-analysis offers compelling evidence supporting the implementation of ERAS in mitigating specific post-surgical conditions. It underscores the potential of ERAS to enhance recovery experiences and improve healthcare efficiency. Further targeted research is warranted to fully understand the impact of ERAS on SSI, anastomotic leakage, ileus, and readmissions and to optimize its benefits across diverse surgical populations.

The application of enhanced recovery after surgery protocol after distal gastrectomy for patients with gastric cancer: a prospective randomized clinical trial. J Gastrointest Surg 2024; 28:791-798. [PMID: 38538479 DOI: 10.1016/j.gassur.2024.02.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2023] [Revised: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and efficacy of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol in patients undergoing distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC). METHODS Patients were randomly assigned to the ERAS group (EG) and the conventional care group (CG) by stratified randomization according to age and sex. The primary endpoint was adjusted postoperative hospital stay, calculated using discharge criteria developed to evaluate recovery. Nutritional data and quality of life (QoL) (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer [EORTC] C30 and STO22) during the perioperative period were also analyzed. RESULTS We enrolled 198 eligible patients with GC for the study between June 2017 and January 2019. A total of 147 patients were finally enrolled in this study (full analysis set) and were assigned to EG (n = 71) and CG (n = 76). First flatus was faster significantly in EG (3.6 ± 1.5 vs 4.1 ± 1.2 days, P = .019). EG showed a faster start of the sips and soft diet than CG (1.3 ± 0.7 vs 3.1 ± 0.4 days, P < .001; 2.4 ± 0.9 vs 5.2 ± 0.7 days, P < .001) according to the protocol. The recorded hospital stay was not significantly different; however, adjusted hospital stay was significantly shorter in EG than in CG (6.5 ± 3.1 vs 7.8 ± 2.1 days, P = .005). There was no difference in morbidity, and no mortality occurred in both groups. EG did not show significant superiority in nutritional outcome and QoL improvement, except for pain scale in EORTC-STO22. CONCLUSION The application of the ERAS protocol could reduce the adjusted hospital stay without an increase in postoperative complications. There was no significant difference in long-term nutritional outcome and QoL of the 2 groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and necessity of enhanced recovery after surgery in elderly patients with colorectal cancer by observing inflammatory markers and postoperative complications. METHODS Hospitalized colorectal cancer patients from the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University from January 2021 to September 2022 were included in the study and divided into two groups: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) and non-ERAS. Data on postoperative inflammatory markers and complications were also collected. RESULTS A total of 313 patients with colorectal cancer were included: 182 in the ERAS group and 131 in the non-ERAS group. The patients in the ERAS group had significantly shorter days of postoperative hospitalization, urinary catheter and drainage tube withdrawal times, and recovery of bowel function (P < .05) than those of the non-ERAS group. Moreover, the ERAS group had lower hospitalization expenses than those of the non-ERAS group (P < .05). However, the procalcitonin and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α levels in the ERAS group was significantly lower than those in the non-ERAS group on postoperative days 1 and 3 (P < .05), and the interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-10 levels in the ERAS group were significantly lower than those in the non-ERAS group on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th postoperative days (P < .05). The C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell (WBC) levels in the ERAS group were lower than those in the non-ERAS group on postoperative days 3 and 5 (P < .05). However, the hemoglobin levels did not differ significantly (P > .05). The albumin levels did not differ significantly between the two groups before surgery (P > .05); however, the albumin level in the ERAS group was higher than that in the non-ERAS group on postoperative days 3 and 5 (P < .05). The ERAS patients had lower albumin levels after surgery than those of the non-ERAS patients (P < .05). CONCLUSION ERAS leads to a series of perioperative optimization measures, thereby reducing the postoperative stress response in elderly patients with colorectal cancer and the occurrence of perioperative complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with microwave ablation (MWA) is an effective treatment strategy for patients with advanced gastric cancer and liver metastasis. However, it may cause severe postoperative pain and inflammatory responses. The paravertebral block (PVB) is a regional anesthetic technique that provides analgesia to the thoracic and abdominal regions. AIM To evaluate the effect of PVB on postoperative analgesia and inflammatory response in patients undergoing TACE combined with MWA for advanced gastric cancer and liver metastasis. METHODS Sixty patients were randomly divided into PVB and control groups. The PVB group received ultrasound-guided PVB with 0.375% ropivacaine preoperatively, whereas the control group received intravenous analgesia with sufentanil. The primary outcome was the visual analog scale (VAS) score for pain at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h after the procedure. Secondary outcomes were the dose of sufentanil used, incidence of adverse events, and levels of inflammatory markers (white blood cell count, neutrophil percentage, C-reactive protein, and procalcitonin) before and after the procedure. RESULTS The PVB group had significantly lower VAS scores at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h after the procedure compared with the control group (P < 0.05). The PVB group also had a significantly lower consumption of sufentanil and a lower incidence of nausea, vomiting, and respiratory depression than did the control group (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the PVB group had significantly lower levels of inflammatory markers 24 h and 48 h after the procedure (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION PVB can effectively reduce postoperative pain and inflammatory responses and improve postoperative comfort and recovery in patients with advanced gastric cancer and liver metastasis treated with TACE combined with MWA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for gastric patients has gained popularity in recent decades, reports on the comparison of short and long clinical outcomes between robotic gastrectomy (RG) and laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) for gastric cancer patients with BMI≥30 kg/m2 are still limited. METHODS A total of 226 obese gastric cancer patients who underwent either RG (n = 81) or LG (n = 145) were enrolled in this study between October 2014 and September 2022. Propensity score matching (PSM) (1:1) was performed to reduce confounding bias. Short-term and long-term outcomes were compared between the RG and LG groups. RESULTS The clinicopathological characteristics of 156 patients in the RG group (n = 79) and LG group (n = 79) were well balanced after PSM. Compared with the LG group, the RG group had a significantly shorter operation time, less estimated blood loss, more harvested lymph nodes, a faster postoperative recovery course, reduced surgical morbidity, and a shorter postoperative hospital stay. The long-term outcomes were comparable between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS RG is a safe and feasible approach for gastric cancer with a BMI≥30 kg/m2 and has better short-term clinical outcomes than LG. However, RG is similar to LG in terms of long-term prognosis.

Abstract
Malnutrition is prevalent in people with upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancers and is associated with shorter survival and poor quality of life. In order to effectively prevent or treat malnutrition, nutrition interventions must ensure appropriate energy provision to meet daily metabolic demands. In practice, the energy needs of people with cancer are frequently estimated from predictive equations which are not cancer-specific and are demonstrated to be inaccurate in this population. The purpose of this scoping review was to synthesize the existing evidence regarding energy expenditure in people with upper GI cancer. Three databases (Ovid MEDLINE, Embase via Ovid, CINAHL plus) were systematically searched to identify studies reporting on resting energy expenditure using indirect calorimetry and total energy expenditure using doubly labeled water (DLW) in adults with any stage of upper GI cancer at any point from diagnosis. A total of 57 original research studies involving 2,125 individuals with cancer of the esophagus, stomach, pancreas, biliary tract, or liver were eligible for inclusion. All studies used indirect calorimetry, and one study used DLW to measure energy expenditure, which was reported unadjusted in 42 studies, adjusted for body weight in 32 studies, and adjusted for fat-free mass in 13 studies. Energy expenditure in upper GI cancer was compared with noncancer controls in 19 studies and measured compared with predicted energy expenditure reported in 31 studies. There was heterogeneity in study design and in reporting of important clinical characteristics between studies. There was also substantial variation in energy expenditure between studies and within and between cancer types. Given this heterogeneity and known inaccuracies of predictive equations in patients with cancer, energy expenditure should be measured in practice wherever feasible. Additional research in cohorts defined by cancer type, stage, and treatment is needed to further characterize energy expenditure in upper GI cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gastric cancer (GC) diagnosed in the elderly population has become a serious public health problem worldwide. Given the combined effects of frailty and the consequences of cancer treatment, older individuals with GC are more likely than young patients to suffer from postoperative complications and poor clinical outcomes. Nutrition, functional capacity and psychological state-based multimodal prehabilitation, which is dominated by Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathway management, has been shown to reduce postoperative complications, promote functional recovery and decrease hospitalisation time in certain malignancies. However, no previous studies have investigated the clinical application of multimodal prehabilitation in frail older patients with GC. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The study is a prospective, multicentre randomised controlled trial in which a total of 368 participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomised into either a prehabilitation group or an ERAS group. The prehabilitation group will receive multimodal prehabilitation combined with ERAS at least 2 weeks before the gastrectomy is performed, including physical and respiratory training, nutritional support, and therapy and psychosocial treatment. The ERAS group patients will be treated according to the ERAS pathway. All interventions will be supervised by family members. The primary outcome measures are the incidence and severity of postoperative complications. Secondary outcomes include survival, functional capacity and other short-term postoperative outcomes. Overall, the multimodal prehabilitation protocol may improve functional capacity, reduce the surgical stress response and concomitant systemic inflammation, and potentially modulate the tumour microenvironment to improve short-term and long-term clinical outcomes and patients' quality of life. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION All procedures and participating centres of this study were approved by their respective ethics committees (QYFYKYLL 916111920). The final study results will be published separately in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05352802.

Impact of enhanced recovery pathways on patient-reported outcomes after abdominal surgery: a systematic review. Surg Endosc 2023; 37:8043-8056. [PMID: 37474828 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-023-10289-2] [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: 05/07/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Evidence supports that enhanced recovery pathways (ERPs) reduce length of stay and complications; however, these measures may not reflect the perspective of patients who are the main stakeholders in the recovery process. This systematic review aimed to appraise the evidence regarding the impact of ERPs on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after abdominal surgery. METHODS Five databases (Medline, Embase, Biosis, Cochrane, and Web of Science) were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) addressing the impact of ERPs on PROs after abdominal surgery. We focused on distinct periods of recovery: early (within 7 days postoperatively) and late (beyond 7 days). Risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane's RoB 2.0. Results were appraised descriptively as heterogeneity hindered meta-analysis. Certainty of evidence was evaluated using GRADE. RESULTS Fifty-six RCTs were identified [colorectal (n = 18), hepatopancreaticobiliary (HPB) (n = 11), upper gastrointestinal (UGI) (n = 10), gynecological (n = 7), urological (n = 7), general surgery (n = 3)]. Most trials had 'some concerns' (n = 30) or 'high' (n = 25) risk of bias. In the early postoperative period, ERPs improved patient-reported general health (colorectal, HPB, UGI, urological; very low to low certainty), physical health (colorectal, gynecological; very low to low certainty), mental health (colorectal, gynecological; very low certainty), pain (all specialties; very low to moderate certainty), and fatigue (colorectal; low certainty). In the late postoperative period, ERPs improved general health (HPB, UGI, urological; very low certainty), physical health (UGI, gynecological, urological; very low to low certainty), mental health (UGI, gynecological, urological; very low certainty), social health (gynecological; very low certainty), pain (gynecological, urological; very low certainty), and fatigue (gynecological; very low certainty). CONCLUSION This review supports that ERPs may have a positive impact on patient-reported postoperative health status (i.e., general, physical, mental, and social health) and symptom experience (i.e., pain and fatigue) after abdominal surgery; however, data were largely derived from low-quality trials. Although these findings contribute important knowledge to inform evidence-based ERP implementation, there remains a great need to improve PRO assessment in studies focused on postoperative recovery.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the impact of frailty-originated, evidence-based early activity training on postoperative delirium in patients who have undergone brain tumor resection. Methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, from July 2019 to June 2020. Data on the patients' general information, incidence and duration of delirium, duration of hospital stay, and activities of daily living were collected. From the first day after surgery, the patients were randomly assigned to either the traditional care group or the frailty-originated rehabilitation towards intracranial tumors using distinct evidence (FORTITUDE) group. Non-parametric, chi-square, and log-rank tests were used to compare the onset time and duration of postoperative delirium and activities of daily living performed by the participants between the two groups. Results In total, 291 patients, 150 and 141 in the control group and FORTITUDE group, respectively, participated in the study. Patients in the FORTITUDE group had a lower incidence of postoperative delirium (15.6% vs. 28.7%, P = 0.007), delayed onset of delirium (Z = -2.108, P = 0.035), shorter duration of postoperative delirium (χ2 = 26.67, P < 0.001), shorter hospital stay (Z = -2.037, P = 0.042), and higher scores in the activities of daily living one week (Z = -2.304, P = 0.021) and one month (Z = -2.724, P = 0.006) after surgery than in the control group. Conclusions The FORTITUDE program was safe and effective in reducing the incidence and duration of postoperative delirium and improving the quality of life of patients who underwent brain tumor resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of risk-stratified pancreatectomy care pathways (RSPCPs) is associated with reduced length of stay (LOS). This study sought to evaluate the impact of successive pathway revisions with the hypothesis that high-risk patients require iterative pathway revisions to optimize outcomes. STUDY DESIGN A prospectively maintained database (October 2016 to December 2021) was evaluated for pancreaticoduodenectomy patients managed with RSPCPs preoperatively assigned based on postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) risk. Launched in October 2016 (version [V] 1), RSPCPs were optimized in February 2019 (V2) and November 2020 (V3). Targeted pathway components included earlier nasogastric tube removal, diet advancement, reduced intravenous fluids and opioids, institution-specific drain fluid amylase cutoffs for early day 3 removal, and patient education. Primary outcome was LOS. Secondary outcomes included major complication (Accordion grade 3+), POPF (International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery Grade B/C), and delayed gastric emptying (DGE). RESULTS Of 481 patients, 234 were managed by V1 (83 high-risk), 141 by V2 (43 high-risk), and 106 by V3 (43 high-risk). Median LOS reduction was greatest in high-risk patients with a 7-day reduction (pre-RSPCP, 12 days; V1, 9 days; V2, 7 days; V3, 5 days), compared with low-risk patients (pre-pathway, 10 days; V1, 6 days; V2, 5 days; V3, 4 days). Complications decreased significantly among high-risk patients (V1, 45%; V2, 33%; V3, 19%; p < 0.001), approaching rates in low-risk patients (V1, 21%; V2, 20%; V3, 14%). POPF (V1, 33%; V2, 23%; V3, 16%; p < 0.001) and DGE (V1, 23%; V2, 22%; V3, 14%; p < 0.001) improved among high-risk patients. CONCLUSIONS Risk-stratified pancreatectomy care pathways are associated with reduced LOS, major complication, Grade B/C fistula, and DGE. The easiest gains in surgical outcomes are generated from the immediate improvement in the patients most likely to be fast-tracked, but high-risk patients benefit from successive application of the learning health system model.

Abstract
Purpose: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols not only positively affect gastrointestinal surgery outcomes but may also increase the risk of some complications. This meta-analysis was conducted to assess the impact of ERAS on the recovery and complications following gastrointestinal surgery. Materials and Methods: Studies published before December 2022 were retrieved from the following databases, EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, without limitations of language or race. The endpoints included lung infection, surgical site infection, postoperative ileus, length of hospitalization, urinary tract infection, readmission, anastomotic leakage, and C-reactive protein serum levels. Results: A total of 23 studies were included. The results of the meta-analysis revealed that there was a decrease in incidence of the lung infection (risk ratio = 0.46, 95% confidence interval 0.27-0.74, P = .002) and postoperative length of hospitalization (P < .00001). However, ERAS protocol groups had higher readmission rates, nausea, and vomiting. There was no significant difference in the incidence of anastomotic leakage, ileus, surgical site infection, and urinary tract infection between the experimental and control groups. Conclusions: ERAS protocols can reduce the risk of postoperative lung infections, shorten hospital stays, and expedite patient recovery. Furthermore, ERAS protocols are not associated with serious complications following gastrointestinal surgeries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies on robotic total gastrectomy (RTG) are currently limited. This study aimed to compare the intraoperative performance as well as short- and long-term outcomes of RTG and laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG). METHODS A total of 969 patients underwent robotic (n = 161) or laparoscopic (n = 636) total gastrectomy between October 2014 and October 2021. The two groups of patients were matched 1:3 using the propensity score matching (PSM) method. The intraoperative performance as well as short- and long-term outcomes of the robotic (n = 147) and the laparoscopic (n = 371) groups were compared. RESULTS After matching, the estimated intraoperative blood loss was lower (80.51 ± 68.77 vs. 89.89 ± 66.12, p = 0.008), and the total number of lymph node dissections was higher (34.74 ± 12.44 vs. 29.83 ± 12.22, p < 0.001) in the RTG group compared with the LTG group. More lymph node dissections at the upper edge of the pancreas were performed in the RTG group than in the LTG (12.59 ± 4.18 vs. 10.33 ± 4.58, p = 0.001). Additionally, postoperative recovery indicators and laboratory data were greater in the RTG group than those in the LTG group, while postoperative complications were comparable between the two groups (19.0% vs. 18.9%, p = 0.962). For overweight or obese patients with body mass indexes (BMIs) ≥25, certain clinical outcomes of the RTG remained advantageous, and no significant differences in three-year overall survival (OS) or relapse-free survival (RFS) were observed. CONCLUSIONS Robotic total gastrectomy demonstrated better intraoperative performance, could improve the short-term clinical outcomes of patients, and was more conducive to patient recovery. However, the long-term efficacies of the two approaches were similar. Robotic surgical systems may reduce surgical stress responses in patients, allowing them to receive postoperative chemotherapy sooner.

Langenbecks Arch Surg 2022; 407:3377-3386. [PMID: 36207546 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-022-02703-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2022] [Accepted: 10/04/2022] [Indexed: 10/10/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Fast-track protocols are increasingly used after digestive surgery. After esophagectomy, the gravity and the fear of anastomotic leak may be an obstacle to generalization of such protocols. C-reactive protein (CRP) might be a reliable tool to identify patients at low risk of anastomotic leak after esophagectomy, so that they can be safely included in a fast-track program. The aim of our retrospective bicentric study is to evaluate the interest of C-reactive protein measurement for the early diagnosis of anastomotic leak after esophagectomy. METHODS Patients having undergone Ivor-Lewis procedure between January 2009 and September 2017 were included in this bicentric retrospective study. CRP values were recorded between postoperative day 3 (POD 3) and postoperative day 5 (POD 5). All postoperative complications were recorded, and the primary endpoint was anastomotic leak. RESULTS We included 585 patients. Among them, 241 (41.2%) developed infectious complications and 69 patients (11.8%) developed anastomotic leak. CRP had the best predictive value on POD 5 (AUC = 0.74; 95% CI: 0.67-0.81). On POD 5, a cut-off value of 130 mg/L yielded a sensitivity of 87%, a specificity of 51%, and a negative predictive value of 96% for the detection of anastomotic leak. CONCLUSIONS CRP may help in identifying patients at very low risk of anastomotic leak after esophagectomy. Patients with CRP values < 130 mg/L on POD 5 can safely undertake an enhanced recovery protocol.

Abstract
We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of rapid rehabilitation on the curative effect of gastrointestinal surgery subjects. A systematic literature search up to October 2021 was done and 31 studies included 4448 subjects with gastrointestinal surgery at the start of the study: 2242 of them were provided with rapid rehabilitation and 2206 were standard care. They were reporting relationships about the effect of rapid rehabilitation on the curative effect of gastrointestinal surgery subjects. We calculated the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the effect of rapid rehabilitation on the curative effect of gastrointestinal surgery subjects using the dichotomous method with a random- or fixed-effect model. Rapid rehabilitation had significantly lower complications (OR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.54-0.71, P < .001) and wound infection (OR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.55-0.98, P = .03) compared with standard care in subjects with gastrointestinal surgery. However, rapid rehabilitation had no significant effect on the anastomotic leak (OR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.66-1.22, P = .49), obstruction (OR, 0.92; 95% CI, -0.64 to 1.31, P = .65), and hospital re-admission (OR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.57-1.08, P = .13) compared with standard care in subjects with gastrointestinal surgery. Rapid rehabilitation had significantly lower complications and wound infection, and had no significant effect on the anastomotic leak, obstruction, and hospital re-admission compared with standard care in subjects with gastrointestinal surgery. Further studies are required to validate these findings.

Study protocol for feasibility and safety of adopting early oral feeding in post total laparoscopic total gastrectomy (overlap esophagojejunostomy): A multicentre randomized controlled trial. Front Nutr 2022; 9:993896.

Abstract
BackgroundTotal laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG) for gastric cancer, especially with overlap esophagojejunostomy, has been verified that it has advantages of minimally invasion, less intraoperative bleeding, and faster recovery. Meanwhile, early oral feeding (EOF) after the operation has been demonstrated to significantly promote early rehabilitation in patients, particularly with distal gastrectomy. However, due to the limited application of TLTG, there is few related research proving whether it is credible or safe to adopt EOF after TLTG (overlap esophagojejunostomy). So, it is urgent to start a prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical trials to supply high level evidence.Methods/designThis study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial with 200 patients (100 in each group). These eligible participants are randomly allocated into two different groups, including EOF group and delay oral feeding (DOF) group after TLTG (overlap esophagojejunostomy). Anastomotic leakage will be carefully observed and recorded as the primary endpoints; the period of the first defecation and exhaust, postoperative length of stay and hospitalization expenses will be recorded as secondary endpoints to ascertain the feasibility and safety of adopting EOF after TLTG (overlap esophagojejunostomy).DiscussionRecently, the adoption of TLTG was limited due to its difficult anastomotic procedure, especially in vivo esophagojejunostomy. With the innovation and improvement of operating techniques, overlap esophagojejunostomy with linear staplers simplified the anastomotic steps and reduced operational difficulties after TLTG. Meanwhile, EOF had received increasing attention from surgical clinicians as a nutrition part of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), which had shown better results in patients after distal gastrectomy. Considering the above factors, we implemented EOF protocol to evaluate the feasibility and safety of adopting EOF after TLTG (overlap esophagojejunostomy), which provided additional evidence for the development of clinical nutrition guidelines.Clinical trial registration[www.chictr.org.cn], identifier [ChiECRCT20200440 and ChiCTR2000040692].

Iterative Changes in Risk-Stratified Pancreatectomy Clinical Pathways and Accelerated Discharge After Pancreaticoduodenectomy. J Gastrointest Surg 2022; 26:1054-1062. [PMID: 35023033 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-021-05235-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Accepted: 12/08/2021] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous implementation of risk-stratified pancreatectomy clinical pathways (RSPCPs) decreased length of stay (LOS) following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). This study's primary aim was to measure the association of iterative RSPCP revisions with accelerated discharge and early postoperative outcomes. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of a prospectively maintained surgical database (10/2016-9/2020). In February 2019, revised RSPCPs were implemented with earlier nasogastric tube (NGT) removal (postoperative day [POD] 1 for low risk; POD 2 for high risk) and updated drain fluid amylase cutoffs for POD 1/POD 3 removal. Perioperative outcomes between original and revised pathways were compared. Predictors of accelerated discharge (defined as ≤ POD 5 for low risk; ≤ POD 6 for high risk) were identified. RESULTS There were 233 (36% high risk) patients in original and 131 (32% high risk) in revised RSPCPs. After revision, the rate of POD 1 NGT removal was higher while POD ≤ 3 drain removal was similar. Median LOS decreased for low risk (5 vs. 6 days, p = 0.011) and high risk (6 vs. 9 days, p = 0.005) with no increase in delayed gastric emptying, postoperative pancreatic fistula, or readmissions. With POD 1 NGT removal, diet tolerance was earlier without increased NGT reinsertions. In low-risk patients, younger age, POD 1 NGT removal, and POD ≤ 3 drain removal were independent predictors of accelerated discharge. In high-risk patients, POD 1 NGT removal and POD ≤ 3 drain removal were independent predictors of accelerated discharge. CONCLUSIONS Following iterative revisions in RSPCPs, LOS after PD decreased further without increasing readmissions, and NGTs were removed earlier without increased reinsertions. Early NGT and drain removal are modifiable practices within RSPCPs that are associated with accelerated discharge.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the effects of ERAS and conventional programs on short-term outcomes after LDG. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Currently, the ERAS program is broadly applied in surgical areas. Although several benefits of LDG with the ERAS program have been covered, high-level evidence is still limited, specifically in advanced gastric cancer. METHODS The present study was designed as a randomized, multicenter, unblinded trial. The enrollment criteria included histologically confirmed cT2-4aN0-3M0 gastric adenocarcinoma. Postoperative complications, mortality, readmission, medical costs, recovery, and laboratory outcomes were compared between the ERAS and conventional groups. RESULTS Between April 2019 and May 2020, 400 consecutive patients who met the enrollment criteria were enrolled. They were randomly allocated to either the ERAS group (n = 200) or the conventional group (n = 200). After excluding patients who did not undergo surgery or gastrectomy, 370 patients were analyzed. The patient demographic characteristics were not different between the 2 groups. The conventional group had a significantly longer allowed day of discharge and postoperative hospital stay (6.96 vs 5.83 days, P < 0.001; 8.85 vs 7.27 days, P < 0.001); a longer time to first flatus, liquid intake and ambulation (3.37 vs 2.52 days, P < 0.001; 3.09 vs 1.13 days, P < 0.001; 2.85 vs 1.38 days, P < 0.001, respectively); and higher medical costs (6826 vs 6328 $, P = 0.027) than the ERAS group. Additionally, patients in the ERAS group were more likely to initiate adjuvant chemotherapy earlier (29 vs 32 days, P = 0.035). There was no significant difference in postoperative complications or in the mortality or readmission rates. Regarding laboratory outcomes, the procalcitonin and C-reactive protein levels on postoperative day 3 were significantly lower and the hemoglobin levels on postoperative day 5 were significantly higher in the ERAS group than in the conventional group. CONCLUSION The ERAS program provides a faster recovery, a shorter postoperative hospitalization length, and lower medical costs after LDG without increasing complication and readmission rates. Moreover, enhanced recovery in the ERAS group enables early initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Implementation of fast-track perioperative care pathways for gastric cancer patients in the U.S. has been challenging due to low disease incidence and limited safety and efficacy data. Our institution recently implemented such a pathway for gastric cancer patients undergoing gastrectomy, and we sought to study its effects. METHODS We analyzed data from consecutive patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma from January 2014 to August 2020. Patients who had surgery for recurrence, urgent surgery for obstruction, bleeding, or perforation, or an intrathoracic anastomosis were excluded. The primary predictor was whether the patient had surgery before or after implementation of a perioperative fast-track gastrectomy pathway in July 2018, and the primary outcome was length of stay. RESULTS One hundred sixty patients were identified, 109 pre-pathway implementation and 51 post-pathway implementation. Following pathway implementation, length of stay was significantly shorter (median 6 days versus 9 days, p < 0.001), and there was no significant difference in 30-day complication rates (29% pre versus 24% post, P = 0.56) or readmission rates (18% pre versus 16% post, P = 0.85). Using linear segmented regression analysis adjusting for age, body mass index, tumor stage (early versus late), type of surgery (distal/subtotal versus total gastrectomy), and approach (open versus minimally invasive), pathway implementation was found to be associated with a 31% decreased length of stay (effect size 0.69, 95% confidence interval 0.49 - 0.98, P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Fast-track gastrectomy care pathways are safe and feasible for U.S. gastric cancer patients undergoing gastrectomy and are associated with decreased length of stay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Gastrectomy for gastric cancer is associated with significant infective postoperative complications. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a useful biomarker in the early detection of infective complications following major abdominal surgery. This single-centre retrospective study aimed to determine the relationship between postoperative CRP levels and development of postoperative infective complications after gastrectomy. METHODS Daily postoperative CRP levels were analyzed to determine a CRP threshold associated with infective complications. ROC curve analysis was used to determine which postoperative day (POD) gave the optimal cutoff. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine significant factors associated with complications. RESULTS One hundred and forty-four patients were included. A total of 61 patients (42%) had at least one infective complication. A CRP level of 220 mg/L was associated with the highest AUC (0.765) with a sensitivity of 70% and specificity of 76% (positive predictive value, 67%; negative predictive value, 78%). More patients with a CRP > 220 mg/L on POD 3 developed infective complications (67% vs. 21%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS A CRP of more than 220 mg/L on POD 3 may be useful to alert clinicians to the increased risk of a postoperative infective complication or enable earlier safe discharge from critical care for those with a lower value.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The potential benefit related to laparoscopic liver surgery (LLS) for colorectal liver metastases outcomes is not well known. MATERIALS AND METHODS Serum cytokines associated with Th1 (tumor necrosis factor-α) and Th2 [interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-6] phenotypes were measured in 36 patients operated on for colorectal liver metastases by open liver surgery (OLS) and LLS. Measurements were performed at 3 time points: 1 day before surgery, day 3 postoperative, and 1 month postoperative. We compared the postoperative inflammatory response influence between LLS and OLS on long-term outcomes. RESULTS In both groups, only IL-6 levels on day 3 postoperative were higher than those measured preoperatively and at 1 month. Comparing the tumor necrosis factor-α levels between the LLS and OLS groups, preoperative (7.28 vs. 2.36), day 3 (7.99 vs. 4.08) and 1 month (7.39 vs. 1.99) postoperative levels were higher in the OLS group (P<0.01, <0.01, and <0.01, respectively). In contrast, IL-10 levels were higher in the LLS group preoperatively (7.51 vs. 4.57) and on day 3 postoperative (13.40 vs. 4.57) (P=0.03 and 0.01, respectively). A cut-off IL-6 level of ≥4.41 in the first month was associated with a higher risk of recurrence (logrank=4.8, P=0.02). CONCLUSIONS Both LLS and OLS induce an initial increase in IL-6 that normalizes one month after surgery, showing a similar pattern. In addition, a cut-off IL-6 value of 4.41 pg/mL was established, with a higher concentration at 1 month postoperative possibly related to a higher risk or recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare surgical outcomes before and after implementation of an enhanced recovery protocol (ERP) in gastrectomy for gastric cancer. METHODS We included patients who underwent open gastrectomy for gastric cancer before (January 2016 to September 2018) or after (October 2018 to September 2020) ERP implementation. The primary outcome was the postoperative length of stay (LOS). Secondary outcomes included 90-day readmission rates and Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ 3 complications. RESULTS One hundred patients underwent gastrectomy before (pre-ERP group) and 52 underwent gastrectomy after (ERP group) protocol implementation. Demographic and clinicopathologic characteristics were similar. The median (interquartile range) postoperative LOS was shorter in the ERP group (7.0 days [6.0-8.0] vs. 8.0 days [7.0-11.0]; p < 0.001). The ERP group had similar rates of readmission (33% vs. 24%; p = 0.34) and grade ≥ 3 complications (19% vs. 19%; p = 1.0) compared to the pre-ERP group, but experienced lower rates of surgical wound complications (0% vs. 19%; p < 0.001). Rates of other complications were similar. CONCLUSIONS Implementation of an ERP in patients undergoing open gastrectomy for gastric cancer is feasible and safe and has the potential to decrease postoperative LOS without increasing complication rates.

Abstract
Gastrectomy is the main treatment for gastric cancer (GC) at present. Surgery improves the survival rate of patients, but the complications seriously affect the recovery and lack effective treatment measures. In the present study, probiotic compounds (4 strains; Lactobacillus plantarum MH-301 (CGMCC NO. 18618), L. rhamnosus LGG-18 (CGMCC NO. 14007), L. acidophilus and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp.lactis LPL-RH (CGMCC NO. 4599)), through clinical and animal model verification, were studied to try to find the auxiliary treatment measures after gastrectomy, and explore its potential mechanism. Clinical research results showed that probiotic compounds treatment could significantly lower postoperative inflammation, enhance immunity, resume gut microbiota composition and promote postoperative recovery. The results in rat models indicated that gastrostomy led to the aggravation of inflammation, the impairment of immunity and intestinal barrier, and the disorder of gut microbiota in vivo. Furthermore, probiotic compounds' administration could downregulate the inflammatory and permeability signaling pathways in the intestinal tissue, reduce the levels of proinflammatory factors, maintain the intestinal mucosal barrier and immune function, and recover the disorder of gut microbiota after gastrectomy in rats. Therefore, we conclude that probiotic compounds can restore gut microbiota homeostasis, reduce inflammation, maintain intestinal mucosal barrier and immunity, finally promote recovery after gastrectomy, and is expected to improve the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
Adherence to an ERAS program guarantees an evidence-based approach for patient care, but the compliance to ERAS in patients undergoing surgery for gastric cancer in Western countries has not been clearly investigated. Our Institution has implemented an ERAS pathway (EP) for gastric surgery, composed of 24 items, since December 2016. We retrospectively analyzed the data of all consecutive patients undergoing surgery with curative intent for gastric cancer between January 2017 and December 2019 at our Institution, and were eligible for our EP. The primary endpoint was patients' compliance to the EP. Secondary endpoints were patients' adherence to each ERAS item and detection of variables associated with compliance failure. Seventy-three patients were included. Among these, 75.3% completed the EP, with a median number of items accomplished per patient of 21. Items with critical adherence were restrictive intraoperative fluid infusion (37%), avoidance of abdominal drain (14%), first clear liquid intake (67%), first solid food intake (48%). At univariate analysis age > 75 years, ASA > 2 and total gastrectomy were associated with failure to complete the EP. At multivariate analysis, ASA Score > 2 was the only preoperative factor associated with EP failure. Application of an ERAS program for malignant gastric surgery seems to be feasible with an acceptable completion rate in a tertiary referral Western centre. Preoperative factors, such as old age, advanced stage at diagnosis and neoadjuvant chemotherapy should not be considered as exclusion criteria for ERAS.

Abstract
Background Postoperative early oral nutrition has increasingly been adopted for patients undergoing gastrectomy. However, intolerability to early oral nutrition remains a major concern, especially in older patients. This study aimed to investigate early oral nutrition intolerability in older patients who had undergone gastrectomy. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 825 patients who had undergone gastrectomy for gastric carcinoma between 2017 and 2019. All patients received an oral diet on postoperative day 1. Patients were divided into older (≥70 years) and younger (<70 years) adult groups, and short-term outcomes and intolerability to oral nutrition were compared. Intolerability to early oral nutrition was defined as oral diet cessation due to adverse gastrointestinal symptoms. Results Among the 825 patients (≥70 years, n = 286; <70 years, n = 539), 151 (18.3%) developed intolerability to early oral nutrition, of whom 100 patients were < 70 years old and 51 were ≥70 years old. The most common symptom causing intolerability was abdominal distension. The mean duration of fasting after developing intolerability was 2.8 ± 2.4 days. The incidence of intolerability in the older and younger adult groups was 17.8% and 18.6%, respectively (p = 0.799). In terms of sex, operative approach, gastric resection, lymph node dissection, reconstruction, and tumor stage subgroups, the older adult group did not exhibit a significant increase in intolerability. Postoperatively, the older adult group showed a higher incidence of systemic complications; however, anastomotic complications did not significantly differ between the two groups. Conclusions Postoperative early oral nutrition can safely be adopted for older patients undergoing gastrectomy, with acceptable intolerability and surgical outcomes.

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery can Improve Patient Outcomes and Reduce Hospital Cost of Gastrectomy for Cancer in the West: A Propensity-Score-Based Analysis. Ann Surg Oncol 2021; 28:7087-7094. [PMID: 33988796 PMCID: PMC8519899 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-021-10079-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2021] [Accepted: 04/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Background Data on ERAS for gastrectomy are scarce, and the majority of the studies come from Eastern countries. Patients in the West are older and suffer from more advanced tumors that impair their clinical condition and often require neoadjuvant treatment. This retrospective study assessed the feasibility and safety of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol for gastrectomy in a Western center. Methods We conducted a single-center study of 351 patients operated for gastric cancer: 103, operated from January 2015 to December 2016, followed the standard pathway, while 248, operated from January 2017 to December 2019, followed the ERAS program. The primary outcomes considered were length of hospital stay (LOS) and direct costs. Secondary outcomes were 90-day morbidity and mortality, readmission rate, and compliance with ERAS items. A propensity score (PS) was built on confounding variables. Results Compliance with ERAS items after the program was ≥ 70%. Univariable analysis evidenced a 2-day median reduction in LOS and a median cost reduction of €826 per patient in the ERAS group. PS-based multivariable analysis confirmed a significant, 2-day decrease in median LOS and a €1097 saving after ERAS introduction. Ninety-day mortality decreased slightly in ERAS group, while complications and readmissions did not change significantly. When complications were included in the multivariable analysis, ERAS retained its significance, although the effects on LOS and cost were blunted to a median reduction of 1 day and €775, respectively. Conclusions ERAS for gastrectomy improved patients’ recovery and reduced hospital costs without changes in morbidity, mortality, or readmission.

Abstract
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have gained increasing popularity over the past 10 years, and its overarching objectives are to improve perioperative morbidity and reduce postoperative length of stay. Consensus guidelines from the ERAS Society specific to major gastrectomy were published in 2014, however since that time, prospective and retrospective studies have expanded the collective evidence for both the content and efficacy of ERAS pathways for gastrectomy. This objective of this review was to summarize recent data pertinent to the preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative management of gastrectomy patients along an ERAS pathway.

Abstract
Background Early intake after surgery can decrease postoperative ileus. Several studies show coffee can stimulate bowel activity and be safe in patients after elective colectomy, mainly due to caffeine. It was postulated that drinking Chinese green tea as rich caffeine beverage after subtotal distal gastrectomy accelerates postoperative recovery in patients. Method This was a single-centre parallel open-label randomized trial. Patients with gastric cancer undergoing robotic or laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy were randomly allocated to receive drinking Chinese green tea (GT group) or potable water (PW group) after surgery. The primary endpoint was the time to gastrointestinal function recovery and tolerance of solid food, and the secondary endpoints included the incidence of postoperative complications, symptoms of postoperative adverse reaction, length of stay, pain as assessed by analgesic consumption and a visual analogue scale, and fatigue as assessed by a fatigue score model. Results A total of 80 patients were recruited, 40 to each group. Patient characteristics were similar in both groups. The GT group showed significantly shorter time to gastrointestinal function recovery compared with PW group to first flatus (47.23 ± 13.46 vs. 76.96 ± 20.35, P < 0.001), first bowel motion (78.70 ± 25.77 vs. 125.76 ± 36.25, P < 0.001) and tolerance of solid food (62.20 ± 16.15 vs. 98.66 ± 20.15, P < 0.001). Conclusion Drinking Chinese green tea after robotic or laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy is safe and promotes postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal function, also was an add method with strengthening analgesia and anti-inflammatory effect in the presence of the Enhance Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research on short-term outcomes and oncology results after robotic gastrectomy (RG) is still limited, especially from a single surgical team. The purpose of this study was to compare the short-term and long-term outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG). METHODS Between October 2014 and September 2019, 1686 consecutive patients who underwent MIS gastrectomy were enrolled. The patients were divided into RG and LG groups according to surgical type. Groups were matched at a 1:1 ratio using propensity scores based on the following variables: age, sex, ASA score, primary tumor location, histologic type, pathological stage, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The primary outcomes were 3-year overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS). The secondary outcomes were postoperative short-term outcomes. RESULTS Demographic and baseline characteristics were similar between the two groups after matching. Compared to the LG group, the RG group had a significantly higher retrieved lymph node (LN) number (32.15 vs 30.82, P = 0.040), more retrieved supra-pancreatic LNs (12.45 vs 11.61, P = 0.028), lower estimated blood loss (73.67 vs 98.08 ml, P < 0.001), but longer operation time (205.18 vs 185.27 min, P < 0.001) and higher hospitalization costs ($13,607 vs $10,928, P < 0.001) in the matched cohort. In the subgroup analysis, we observed that compared with LG, patients with advanced gastric cancer benefitted more from RG surgery. The matched cohort analysis demonstrated no statistically significant differences for 3-year OS or RFS (log-rank, P = 0.648 and P = 0.951, respectively): 80.3% and 77.0% in LG vs. 81.2% and 76.6% in RG, respectively. CONCLUSION RG has certain technical advantages over LG, especially in patients with advanced gastric cancer. However, RG does not improve long-term oncology outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programme is feasible and effective in reducing the length of hospital stay, overall complication rates and medical costs when applied to cases involving colonic and rectal resections. However, a recent prospective, randomised, open, parallel-controlled trial (Chinese Laparoscopic Gastrointestinal Surgery Study-01 trial), initiated by our team, indicated that under conventional peri-operative management, the reduction of the post-operative hospital stay of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) is quite limited compared with open gastrectomy. Thus, if we could provide valuable clinical evidence for demonstrating the efficacy of the ERAS programme for gastric cancer patients undergoing LDG, it would significantly enhance the peri-operative management of gastrectomy and benefit the patients. METHODS In this prospective single-arm trial, patients who are 18-75 years of age with gastric adenocarcinoma diagnosed with cT1-4aN0-3M0 and expected to undergo curative resection through LDG, are considered eligible for this study. All participants underwent LDG with peri-operative management under the ERAS programme. The primary outcome measures included the post-operative hospital stays and rehabilitative rate of the post-operative day 4. The secondary outcome measures are morbidity and mortality (time frame: 30 days), post-operative recovery index (time frame: 30 days), post-operative pain intensity (time frame: 3 days) and the medical costs from surgery to discharge. CONCLUSION With reasonable and scientific designing, the trial may be a great help to further discuss the benefit of ERAS programme and thus improving the peri-operative management of patients with gastrectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The guidelines for the prevention, detection, and management of gastroenterological surgical site infections (SSIs) were published in Japanese by the Japan Society for Surgical Infection in 2018. This is a summary of these guidelines for medical professionals worldwide. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and comprehensive evaluation of the evidence for diagnosis and treatment of gastroenterological SSIs, based on the concepts of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system. The strength of recommendations was graded and voted using the Delphi method and the nominal group technique. Modifications were made to the guidelines in response to feedback from the general public and relevant medical societies. RESULTS There were 44 questions prepared in seven subject areas, for which 51 recommendations were made. The seven subject areas were: definition and etiology, diagnosis, preoperative management, prophylactic antibiotics, intraoperative management, perioperative management, and wound management. According to the GRADE system, we evaluated the body of evidence for each clinical question. Based on the results of the meta-analysis, recommendations were graded using the Delphi method to generate useful information. The final version of the recommendations was published in 2018, in Japanese. CONCLUSIONS The Japanese Guidelines for the prevention, detection, and management of gastroenterological SSI were published in 2018 to provide useful information for clinicians and improve the clinical outcome of patients.

Abstract
With perpetual research, management refinement, and increasing survivorship, cancer care is steadily evolving into a chronic disease model. Rehabilitation physicians are quite accustomed to managing chronic conditions, yet, cancer rehabilitation remains unexplored. Palliative care physicians, along with rehabilitationists, are true generalists, who focus on the whole patient and their social context, in addition to the diseased organ system. This, together with palliative care's expertise in managing the panoply of troubling symptoms that beset patients with malignancy, makes them natural allies in the comprehensive management of this patient group from the moment of diagnosis. This article will explore the under-recognized and underused parallels and synergies between the two specialties as well as identifying potential challenges and areas for future growth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs can optimize clinical outcomes and have been widely used across multiple specialties, but a personalized prediction model involving ERAS for the prognosis of gastric cancer is lacking. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively collected clinical data on 725 gastric cancer patients within ERAS who underwent curative gastric resection in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from 2007 to 2014. Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, and Cox proportional risk model were used to determine the independent prognostic factors of patients. The accuracy of model was evaluated by C-index, calibration curve, and Decision Curve Analysis (DCA), and the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to compare the nomogram model with the predictive value of TNM staging system. RESULTS The 5-year overall survival (OS) of 725 patients within ERAS was 72.5%. Age at diagnosis, T stage, N stage, and postoperative complications were determined to be independent factors affecting the prognosis of patients within ERAS, and nomogram model was constructed. The C-index of the training group was 0.809 and that of the verification group was 0.804; the calibration curves and DCA of the 2 groups showed good accuracy. Through verification, we found that, compared with the TNM staging assessment method, the nomogram model was more accurate in predicting the prognosis of gastric cancer. CONCLUSIONS This study identified factors affecting the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer, and we constructed the first prognostic nomogram model in ERAS mode to facilitate postoperative personalized prognostic evaluation.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of reduced fasting time on postoperative recovery in patients who underwent totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG). Methods This retrospective study included 347 patients who underwent TLDG. Patients were divided into 2 groups: reduced fasting time group (n = 139) and conventional feeding group (n = 208). We compared the total hospital cost and recovery parameters, such as postoperative complications, mean hospital stay, day of first flatus, initiation of soft diet, and serum CRP levels, between the 2 groups. Results The reduced fasting time group had a lower total hospital cost (P < 0.001) than the conventional feeding group. Regarding postoperative complications, there was no significant difference between the 2 groups (P = 0.085). Patients in the reduced fasting time group had a significantly shorter duration of mean hospital stay (P < 0.001), an earlier first flatus (P = 0.002), an earlier initiation of soft diet (P < 0.001), and lower level of serum CRP concentration (day of surgery, P = 0.036; postoperative days 2, 5, and 7, P = 0.01, 0.009, and 0.012, respectively) than patients in the conventional feeding group. Conclusion Reduced fasting time can enhance postoperative recovery in patients who undergo TLDG and may reduce medical costs.

Short- and long-term outcomes associated with enhanced recovery after surgery protocol vs conventional management in patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrectomy. World J Gastroenterol 2020; 26:5646-5660. [PMID: 33088158 PMCID: PMC7545391 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v26.i37.5646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2020] [Revised: 08/02/2020] [Accepted: 09/03/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND At present, the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol is widely implemented in the field of gastric surgery. However, the effect of the ERAS protocol on the long-term prognosis of gastric cancer has not been reported.
AIM To compare the effects of ERAS and conventional protocols on short-term outcomes and long-term prognosis after laparoscopic gastrectomy.
METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data of 1026 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy between 2012 and 2015. The patients were divided into either an ERAS group or a conventional group. The groups were matched in a 1:1 ratio using propensity scores based on covariates that affect cancer survival. The primary outcomes were the 5-year overall and cancer-specific survival rates. The secondary outcomes were the postoperative short-term outcomes and inflammatory indexes.
RESULTS The patient demographics and baseline characteristics were similar between the two groups after matching. Compared to the conventional group, the ERAS group had a significantly shorter postoperative hospital day (7.09 d vs 8.67 d, P < 0.001), shorter time to first flatus, liquid intake, and ambulation (2.50 d vs 3.40 d, P < 0.001; 1.02 d vs 3.64 d, P < 0.001; 1.47 d vs 2.99 d, P < 0.001, respectively), and lower medical costs ($7621.75 vs $7814.16, P = 0.009). There was a significantly higher rate of postoperative complications among patients in the conventional group than among those in the ERAS group (18.1 vs 12.3, P = 0.030). Regarding inflammatory indexes, the C-reactive protein and procalcitonin levels on postoperative day 3/4 were significantly different between the two groups (P < 0.001 and P = 0.025, respectively). The ERAS protocol was associated with significantly improved 5-year overall survival and cancer-specific survival rates compared with conventional protocol (P = 0.013 and 0.032, respectively). When stratified by tumour stage, only the survival of patients with stage III disease was significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.044).
CONCLUSION Adherence to the ERAS protocol improves both the short-term outcomes and the 5-year overall survival and cancer-specific survival of patients after laparoscopic gastrectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program versus conventional perioperative care on the short-term postoperative outcomes among elderly patients with gastric cancer who are undergoing laparoscopic total gastrectomy. METHODS Elderly patients with gastric cancer (age ≥ 65 y) who are undergoing laparoscopic total gastrectomy were randomized to ERAS or conventional perioperative care groups. Short-term postoperative outcomes, including postoperative hospital stay, mortality, complications, readmission rate, and reoperation rate were compared between the two groups. In addition, blood samples were taken preoperatively (baseline) and on postoperative days 1, 3, and 5. Systemic human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR expression on monocytes and C-reactive protein (CRP) were analyzed. RESULTS Of the 171 eligible patients, 85 patients were assigned to receive ERAS program treatment (ERAS group) and 86 patients to receive conventional care (conventional group). The patients' characteristics were comparable. Postoperative hospital stay was shorter in the ERAS group than in the conventional group (11 [7-11] versus 13 [8-20] d, P < 0.001). Hospital mortality, overall morbidity, morbidity ≥ Clavien-Dindo (C-D) grade II, readmission rate, and reoperation rate did not show significant differences between the two groups. However, morbidity ≥ C-D grade IIIa was lower in the ERAS group than that in the conventional group (8.2% versus 18.6%, P = 0.047). The ERAS program shortened the number of days to postoperative first flatus, first defecation, semifluid diet, and soft bland diet. Moreover, the ERAS program increased the HLA-DR expression on monocytes and decreased the CRP levels on postoperative days 1, 3, and 5. CONCLUSIONS The ERAS program was feasible and effective for elderly patients with gastric cancer who are undergoing laparoscopic total gastrectomy. The benefits of ERAS were associated with improvement of impaired immune function and suppression of inflammatory reaction.

Abstract
Background The incidence of gastric cancer in East Asia is much higher than the international average. Therefore, improving the prognosis of patients and establishing effective clinical pathways are important topics for the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer. At present, the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway is widely used in the field of gastric surgery. Many randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies have proven that the ERAS regimen can improve the short-term clinical outcomes of patients with gastric cancer. However, a prospective study on the effect of the ERAS pathway on the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer has not yet been reported. This trial aims to confirm whether the ERAS pathway can improve the disease-free survival and overall survival of patients undergoing laparoscopic-assisted radical resection for distal gastric cancer. Methods/design This study is a prospective, multicentre RCT. This experiment will consist of two groups – an experimental group and a control group – randomly divided in a 1:1 ratio. The perioperative period of the experimental group will be managed according to the ERAS pathway and that of the control group will be managed according to the traditional management mode. An estimated 400 patients will be enrolled. The main endpoint for comparison is the 3-year overall survival and disease-free survival between the two groups. Discussion The results of this RCT should clarify whether the ERAS pathway is superior to traditional treatment on inflammatory indexes, short-term clinical outcome and survival for laparoscopic-assisted radical resection of distal gastric cancer. It is hoped that our data will provide evidence that the ERAS pathway improves survival in patients with gastric cancer. Trial registration Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, CHiCTR1900022438.

Abstract
An enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol is useful in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. However, its feasibility for gastric surgery remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of early oral feeding (EOF) for patients with gastric cancer after radical gastrectomy. The EOF protocol was implemented in 397 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy between 2005 and 2014 at our hospital. The protocol was common in 277 patients after distal gastrectomy (DG) and 120 patients after total gastrectomy (TG). The patients were scheduled to start drinking water in the morning of the first postoperative day and to start thin rice gruel with a liquid nutrition supplement on the second postoperative day. We analyzed the incidence of postoperative complications and surgical outcomes in these patients. Furthermore, we analyzed risk factors for dropout from the EOF protocol. All patients started drinking water, while 26 patients were unable to start eating. The EOF protocol was implemented in 371 patients (93%), and 48 patients stopped eating. Specifically, 227 patients (87%) after DG and 96 patients (88%) after TG followed the EOF protocol perfectly. The incidence of postoperative complications, including anastomotic leakage (n = 0), ileus (n = 22), and pneumonia (n = 11), was 15% and that of clinically significant events (≥ grade 3) was 4.3%. Multivariate analysis showed that the male gender, comorbidities, and intra-operative bleeding are independent risk factors for dropout from the EOF protocol. EOF can be safely implemented in patients after radical gastrectomy.

Abstract
Objectives Clinical pathways are useful tools for surgical quality improvement and better peri-operative clinical outcomes for patients undergoing major surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of clinical pathway on early postoperative outcomes for gastric cancer patients. Material and Methods The study was designed as a retrospective cohort observational study. Patients who had undergone curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer were evaluated by using the gastric cancer database, which was prospectively maintained. The patients were divided into two groups based on the date when the clinical pathway was first used: The control group (May 2015-May 2016) and the clinical pathway group (June 2016-December 2017). Early postoperative outcomes including the length of hospital stay, start of the day of diet, and 30-day complications including reoperation, and operative mortality were compared after propensity score matching. Results A total of 101 patients were analyzed, and the data of 70 patients (35 patients in each group) were compared after matching. Clinical pathway group demonstrated shorter hospital stay, earlier nasogastric tube removal, and start of earlier liquid/soft diet. Overall complication rate was lower in the clinical pathway group, while there was no statistically significant difference in major complication rates. No statistically significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of reoperation and operative mortality. Conclusion Clinical pathway may shorten the postoperative length of hospital stay and reduce the overall complication rate without increasing major morbidity in patients undergoing elective gastric cancer surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Many studies have suggested the feasibility and safety of early oral nutrition after gastrectomy; however, the tolerability of early oral nutrition has rarely been investigated. This study aimed to investigate the tolerability of early oral nutrition and factors affecting early oral nutrition failure after gastrectomy. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 565 patients with gastric cancer who had undergone gastrectomy and who had received oral nutrition on postoperative day 1. Failure of early oral nutrition was defined as cessation of at least one meal for any reason. Preoperative clinical information and operative factors were analyzed concerning an association with early oral nutrition failure. RESULTS The tolerability of early oral nutrition after gastrectomy was 74.7%. Of 565 patients, 72 (12.7%) failed early oral nutrition due to adverse gastrointestinal symptoms, 52 (9.2%) failed due to gastric stasis or ileus, and 19 (3.4%) patients failed due to other postoperative complications. In the univariate analysis, age (≥70 years), male sex, preoperative tumor obstruction, remnant stomach cancer, open surgery, operating time (≥4 h), and an advanced preoperative stage were associated with failed early oral nutrition. Multivariable analysis of these factors revealed that male sex, preoperative tumor obstruction, operating time, and advanced preoperative stage were independent predictive factors for early oral nutrition failure after gastrectomy. CONCLUSIONS The tolerability of early oral nutrition after gastrectomy was comparable to that of other gastrointestinal surgeries. A tailored approach for postoperative oral nutrition is required based on identified risk factors for early oral nutrition failure.

Abstract
Significant advances were achieved, in last decades, in the management of surgical patients with gastric cancer. This has led to the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) with the objective of reducing the length of hospital stay, accelerating postoperative recovery and reducing the surgical stress. The ERAS protocols have many items, including the pre-operative patient education, early mobilization and feeding starting from the first postoperative day. This review aims to highlight possible advantages on postoperative functional recovery outcomes after gastrectomy in patients undergoing an ERAS program, current lack of evidences and future perspectives.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has made great progress in the field of surgery, the guidelines point to the lack of high-quality evidence in upper gastrointestinal surgery. METHODS Randomized controlled trials in four electronic databases that involved ERAS protocols for upper gastrointestinal surgery were searched through December 12, 2018. The primary endpoints were lung infection, urinary tract infection, surgical site infection, postoperative anastomotic leakage and ileus. The secondary endpoints were postoperative length of stay, the time from end of surgery to first flatus and defecation, and readmission rates. Subgroup analysis was performed based on the type of surgery. RESULTS A total of 17 studies were included. The results of the meta-analysis indicate that there was a decrease in rates of lung infection (RR = 0.50, 95%CI: 0.33 to 0.75), postoperative length of stay (MD = -2.53, 95%CI: - 3.42 to - 1.65), time until first postoperative flatus (MD = -0.64, 95%CI: - 0.84 to - 0.45) and time until first postoperative defecation (MD = -1.10, 95%CI: - 1.74 to - 0.47) in patients who received ERAS, compared to conventional care. However, other outcomes were not significant difference. There was no significant difference between ERAS and conventional care in rates of urinary tract infection (P = 0.10), surgical site infection (P = 0.42), postoperative anastomotic leakage (P = 0.45), readmissions (P = 0.31) and ileus (P = 0.25). CONCLUSIONS ERAS protocols can reduce the risk of postoperative lung infection and accelerating patient recovery time. Nevertheless, we should also consider further research ERAS should be performed undergoing gastrectomy and esophagectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to assess the safety and efficiency of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol in radical gastrectomy. METHODS Studies published before February 2019 were searched from EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Quanfang databases without language and region restrictions. A total of 15 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) with 1216 participants were included in the analysis, of whom 605 underwent ERAS protocol and 611 received traditional perioperative treatment for radical gastrectomy. RESULTS There was a significant reduction in pulmonary infection (p=0.02) after radical gastrectomy. Further, there was a significant decrease in the length of postoperative hospital days (p<0.00001), first passage time of defection and flatus (p<0.00001), and medical cost (p<0.0001) in the group that received the ERAS protocol. However, the ERAS protocol group had a higher risk for readmission (p=0.007), vomiting (p=0.002) and gastric retention (p=0.0003) compared with the traditional treatment group. CONCLUSIONS ERAS protocol application for radical gastrectomy accelerated postoperative recovery, shortened postoperative hospital days and first passage time of defection and flatus, and saved on medical costs, and did not increase the occurrence rate of severe complications.

Abstract
Enhanced recovery protocols have been developed from gastrointestinal, colorectal, and thoracic surgery populations. The basic tenets of head and neck enhanced recovery are: a multidisciplinary team working around the patient, preoperative carbohydrate loading, multimodal analgesia, early mobilization and oral feeding, and frequent reassessment and auditing of protocols to improve patient outcomes. The implementation of enhanced recovery protocols across surgical populations appear to decrease length of stay, reduce cost, and improve patient satisfaction without sacrificing patient quality of care or changing readmission rates. This article examines evidence-based enhanced recovery interventions and tailors them to a major head and neck surgery population.

Abstract
We determined the effects of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in patients undergoing radical surgery for gastric carcinoma. Sixty patients undergoing radical gastrectomy for gastric carcinoma in Lishui Hospital between March and October 2016 were randomized to receive either ERAS (30 patients) or conventional care (30 patients, controls). Clinical, economic, and laboratory indices were analyzed. ERAS patients showed faster recovery and shorter postoperative hospital stays than the controls (P<0.05). Some clinical indices (i.e., time to first flatus and defecation, time to removal of drainage tubes, time to resumption of oral feeding, time to postoperative mobilization, and postoperative complications) were significantly better in ERAS patients than in controls. Duration of postoperative infusion was lower in ERAS patients than in controls (P<0.05). In ERAS patients, serum albumin and prealbumin were higher on postoperative day 7, C-reactive protein was lower on postoperative days 3 and 7, and neutrophil count was lower on postoperative day 3 compared to the values in controls (P<0.05 for all). IgM levels were higher in ERAS patients on postoperative days 3 and 7 (P<0.05), while IgG levels were higher on postoperative day 3 (P<0.05). Total T lymphocytes were higher in ERAS patients on postoperative day 3, while helper T cells and CD4+/CD8+ ratio were higher on postoperative days 3 and 7 (P<0.05 for all). In gastric carcinoma patients, ERAS may reduce perioperative inflammation, improve immunity and postoperative nutrition, shorten hospitalization, and enhance rehabilitation.

Enhanced recovery versus conventional care in gastric cancer surgery: a meta-analysis of randomized and non-randomized controlled trials. Gastric Cancer 2019; 22:423-434. [PMID: 30805742 DOI: 10.1007/s10120-019-00937-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 54] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2018] [Accepted: 02/04/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have been successfully integrated into peri-operative management of different cancer surgeries such as colorectal cancer. Their value for gastric cancer surgery, however, remains uncertain. METHODS A search for randomized and observational studies comparing ERAS versus conventional care in gastric cancer surgery was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. Random-effects meta-analyses with inverse variance weighting were conducted, and quality of included studies was assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool and Newcastle-Ottawa scale (PROSPERO: CRD42017080888). RESULTS Twenty-three studies involving 2686 patients were included. ERAS was associated with reduced length of hospital stay (WMD-2.47 days, 95% CI - 3.06 to - 1.89, P < 0.00001), time to flatus (WMD-0.70 days, 95% CI - 1.02 to - 0.37, P < 0.0001), and hospitalization costs (WMD-USD$ 4400, 95% CI - USD$ 5580 to - USD$ 3210, P < 0.00001), with consistent results across open and laparoscopic surgery. Postoperative morbidity and 30-day mortality were similar, although a higher rate of readmission was observed in the ERAS group (RR = 1.95, 95% CI 1.03-3.67, P = 0.04). Patients in the ERAS arm had significantly attenuated C-reactive protein levels on days 3/4 and 7, interleukin-6 levels on days 1, and 3/4, and tumor necrosis factor-α levels on days 3/4 postoperatively. CONCLUSION Compared to conventional care, ERAS reduces hospital stay, costs, surgical stress response and time to return of gut function, without increasing post-operative morbidity in gastric cancer surgery. However, precaution is necessary to reduce the increased risk of hospital readmission when adopting ERAS.

Gastric Cancer 2019; 22:413-420.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hospital readmission is gathering greater attention as a measure of health care quality. The introduction of fast-track surgery has led to shorter lengths of hospitalization without increasing the risk of postoperative complications and readmission. The collection of comprehensive readmission data is essential for the further improvement of patient care. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the risk factors for readmission within 30 days of discharge after gastrectomy. METHODS A total of 1929 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy at Shizuoka Cancer Center were included in this study. A risk analysis with a stepwise logistic regression model was conducted to identify the risk factors for 30-day hospital readmission. RESULTS The 30-day readmission rate was 2.70%. Common causes of readmission were an intolerance of oral intake and the presence of an intra-abdominal abscess. The C reactive protein (CRP) level on postoperative day (POD) 3 was significantly higher in the readmitted group; however, the other surgical outcomes, including the incidence of postoperative complications, did not differ to a statistically significant extent. The stepwise logistic regression analysis revealed that CRP on POD3 ≥ 12 mg/dl [odds ratio (OR) 2.08, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.09-3.95, p = 0.025], laparoscopic surgery (OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.17-4.31, p = 0.015), and TG (OR 2.23, 95% CI 1.17-4.78, p = 0.023) were found to be independent risk factors for readmission. CONCLUSIONS CRP on POD3 ≥ 12 mg/dl, laparoscopic surgery, and TG were identified as independent risk factors for readmission.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to compare the oncologic and short-term outcomes of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) and open distal gastrectomy (ODG) for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Materials and Methods From July 2006 to November 2016, 384 patients underwent distal gastrectomy for AGC. Data on short- and long-term outcomes were prospectively collected and reviewed. Propensity score matching was applied at a ratio of 1:1 to compare the LDG and ODG groups. Results The operative times were longer for the LDG group than for the ODG group. However, the time to resumption of diet and the length of hospital stay were shorter in the LDG group than in the ODG group (4.7 vs. 5.6 days, P=0.049 and 9.6 vs. 11.5 days, P=0.035, respectively). The extent of lymph node dissection in the LDG group was more limited than in the ODG group (P=0.002), although there was no difference in the number of retrieved lymph nodes between the 2 groups. The 3-year overall survival rates were 98% and 86.9% (P=0.018), and the 3-year recurrence-free survival rates were 86.3% and 75.3% (P=0.259), respectively, in the LDG and ODG groups. Conclusions LDG is safe and feasible for AGC, with earlier recovery after surgery and long-term oncologic outcomes comparable to those of ODG.
