[PMID: 39054183 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2024.06.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic surgery has long been burdened with high postoperative morbidity. Early mobilization has been advocated to prevent complications and improve functional capacity. However, there is a lack of high-quality evidence supporting how to implement early mobilization and its independent impact on postoperative outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of implementing early mobilization in reducing postoperative complications and enhancing recovery in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery. METHODS We conducted a single-blind, randomized trial in patients who underwent pancreatic surgery in a tertiary hospital in China. Eligible participants were randomly assigned to either the control group or the intervention group. Patients in the control group received usual care, whereas those in the intervention group received the early enforced mobilization protocol. The protocol consisted of 2 key components: professional assistance with the first ambulation on postoperative day 1 and family-involved supervision to achieve daily walking goals. The primary outcome was postoperative complications within 30 days, measured by the Comprehensive Complication Index. Secondary outcomes were postoperative mobilization, time to recovery of gastrointestinal function, postoperative pulmonary complications, pancreatic surgery-specific complications, patient-reported outcome measures, and 30-day readmission and mortality. RESULTS A total of 135 patients were enrolled: 67 in the intervention group and 68 in the control group. The median Comprehensive Complication Index was not statistically significant between groups (mean difference -1.7; 95% confidence interval -8.7 to 0). Patients in the intervention group had earlier first ambulation postoperatively, walked greater distances on postoperative days 1-7, and had earlier time to first defecation. Trends for improvement in patient-reported outcomes showed that scores of Quality of Recovery 15 at postoperative day 3, physical function of Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 at postoperative day 7, and global quality of life at postoperative day 30 were significantly greater in the intervention group. There was no between-group difference in other domains of the Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 or other secondary outcome measures. CONCLUSION Early enforced mobilization intervention did not reduce postoperative complications of patients undergoing pancreatic surgery, but it can enhance postoperative mobilization and improve the recovery of gastrointestinal function and patient-perceived quality of recovery.

Yu C, Liu Y, Tang Z, Zhang H. Enhanced recovery after surgery in patients undergoing craniotomy: A meta-analysis. Brain Res 2023; 1816:148467. [PMID: 37348748 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2023.148467] [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: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multidisciplinary,and evidence-based perioperative care method. It is effective in shortening hospital stays and improving clinical outcomes. However, the application of ERAS in craniotomy lacks reliable evidence. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of ERAS in craniotomy. METHODS Studies of ERAS in craniotomy were systematically searched in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science. Primary outcomes (total hospital stay and postoperative hospital stay, hospitalization cost, percent of patients with moderate to severe pain) and secondary outcomes (readmission rate and incidence of complication) were compared between ERAS and traditional perioperative care. RESULT Of the 10 studies included in this meta-analysis, 6 were randomized-controlled trials (RCTs), 3 were cohort studies, and 1 was non-RCT. A total of 1275 patients were included, with 648 in the ERAS group and 627 in the control group. Compared with the control group, the ERAS group had a significantly shortened total length of stay (LOS) (MD = -2.437, 95% CI: -3.616, -1.077, P = 0.001) and postoperative LOS, reduced hospitalization cost (SMD = -0.631, 95% CI: -0.893, -0.369, P = 0.001), and lower percent of patients with moderate to severe pain. There was no significant difference in readmission rate between the two groups. Though, the ERAS group had a significantly lower risk of pneumonia than the control group. CONCLUSION ERAS is safe and effective for craniotomy as it shortens total and postoperative LOS, reduces hospitalization costs, decreases the percent of patients with moderate to severe pain.

Efficacy of prolonged intravenous lidocaine infusion for postoperative movement-evoked pain following hepatectomy: a double-blinded, randomised, placebo-controlled trial. Br J Anaesth 2023:S0007-0912(23)00169-1. [PMID: 37202261 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2023.03.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 03/04/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The analgesic effect of intravenous lidocaine varies with the duration of lidocaine infusion and surgery type. We tested the hypothesis that prolonged lidocaine infusion alleviates postoperative pain in patients recovering from hepatectomy over the first 3 postoperative days. METHODS Patients undergoing elective hepatectomy were randomly assigned to receive prolonged i.v. lidocaine treatment or placebo. The primary outcome was incidence of moderate-to-severe movement-evoked pain at 24 h postoperatively. The secondary outcomes included incidence of moderate-to-severe pain during movement and at rest throughout the first 3 postoperative days, postoperative opioid consumption, and pulmonary complications. Plasma lidocaine concentration was also monitored. RESULTS We enrolled 260 subjects. Intravenous lidocaine lowered the incidence of moderate-to-severe movement-evoked pain at 24 h and 48 h postoperatively (47.7% vs 67.7%, P=0.001; 38.5% vs 58.5%, P=0.001) and reduced movement-evoked pain scores (3.7 [1.7] vs 4.2 [1.6]; mean difference 0.5 [95% confidence interval {CI}: 0.1-0.9]; P=0.018) and morphine equivalent consumption (47.2 [16.7] mg vs 52.6 [19.2] mg; mean difference 5.4 mg [95% CI: 1.0-9.8]; P=0.016) at 24 h postoperatively. Lidocaine also lowered the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (23.1% vs 38.5%; P=0.007). Median plasma lidocaine concentrations were 1.5, 1.9, and 1.1 μg ml-1 (inter-quartile ranges: 1.1-2.1, 1.4-2.6, and 0.8-1.6, respectively) after bolus injection, at the end of the surgery, and 24 h postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Prolonged intravenous lidocaine infusion reduced the incidence of moderate-to-severe movement-evoked pain for 48 h after hepatectomy. However, the reduction in pain scores and opioid consumption by lidocaine was below the minimal clinically important difference. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT04295330.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program has been proved to improve postoperative outcome for many surgical procedures, including liver resection. There was limited evidence regarding the feasibility and benefit of ERAS in patients who underwent liver resection for cholangiocarcinoma.
AIM To evaluate the feasibility of ERAS in patients who underwent liver resection for cholangiocarcinoma and its association with patient outcomes.
METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 116 cholangiocarcinoma patients who underwent hepatectomy at Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen University between January 2015 and December 2016. The primary outcome was the compliance with ERAS. To determine the association between ERAS compliance and patient outcomes. the patients were categorized into those adhering more than and equal to 50% (ERAS ≥ 50), and below 50% (ERAS < 50) of all components. Details on type of surgical procedure, preoperative and postoperative care, tumor location, postoperative laboratory results, and survival time were evaluated. The compliance with ERAS was measured by the percentage of ERAS items achieved. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used for survival analysis.
RESULTS The median percentage of ERAS goals achieved was 40% (± 12%). Fourteen patients (12.1%) were categorized into the ERAS ≥ 50 group, and 102 patients were in the ERAS < 50 group. Postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter in the ERAS ≥ 50 group [8.9 d, 95% confidence interval (CI): 7.3-10.4 d] than in the ERAS < 50 group (13.7 d, 95%CI: 12.2-15.2 d) (P = 0.0217). No hepatobiliary-related complications or in-hospital mortality occurred in the ERAS ≥ 50 group. Overall survival was significantly higher in the ERAS ≥ 50 group. The median survival of the patients in the ERAS < 50 group was 1257 d (95%CI: 853.2-1660.8 d), whereas that of the patients in the ERAS ≥ 50 group was not reached.
CONCLUSION Overall ERAS compliance for patients who underwent liver resection for cholangiocarcinoma is poor. Greater ERAS compliance could predict in-hospital, short-term, and long-term outcomes of the patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the analgesic efficacy of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in relation to subcostal transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) in patients undergoing open liver resection surgery. METHODS In this randomized controlled trial, we included adult patients undergoing open liver resection surgery. After induction of general anaesthesia, the included patients were randomized to receive either ESPB (n = 30) or subcostal TAPB (n = 30). Postoperative pain was assessed using the numeric rating scale (NRS) at rest and during cough. Intravenous morphine boluses were used for management of breakthrough pain intra- and postoperatively. The study's primary outcome was morphine consumption during the first 24 h postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included intraoperative morphine consumption, time to first postoperative morphine requirement, incidence of complications, and patient satisfaction. RESULTS Sixty patients were included and were available for the final analysis in this study. The intra-and postoperative morphine consumption were less in the ESPB group than the subcostal TAPB group (median [quartiles] morphine dose: 0 [0-0] vs 2 [0-5] mg, p = 0.007 and 20 [15-20] vs 25 [20-30] mg, p = 0.006, respectively). The time to first morphine requirement was longer in the ESPB group (median [quartiles]: 6.5 [5.5-6.5] h) than the subcostal TAPB group (median [quartiles]: 4.3 [1.0-6.5] h), P = 0.013. Patients in the ESPB group had lower incidence of sedation and higher level of satisfaction than the subcostal TAPB group. CONCLUSION In patients undergoing open liver resection surgery, ESPB provided superior analgesic properties than subcostal TAPB.

Abstract
Population aging is an unprecedented, multifactorial, and global process that poses significant challenges to healthcare systems. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols aim to optimize perioperative care. The first neurosurgical ERAS protocol for elective craniotomy has contributed to a shortened postoperative hospital stay, accelerated functional recovery, improved patient satisfaction, and reduced medical care cost in adult patients aged 18 to 65 years compared with conventional perioperative care. However, ERAS protocols for geriatric patients over 65 years of age undergoing cranial surgery are lacking. In this paper, we propose a novel ERAS protocol for such patients by reviewing and summarizing the key elements of successful ERAS protocols/guidelines and optimal perioperative care for geriatric patients described in the literature, as well as our experience in applying the first neurosurgical ERAS protocol for a quality improvement initiative. This proposal aimed to establish an applicable protocol for geriatric patients undergoing elective craniotomy, with evidence addressing its feasibility, safety, and potential efficacy. This multimodal, multidisciplinary, and evidence-based ERAS protocol includes preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative assessment and management as well as outcome measures. The implementation of the current protocol may hold promise in reducing perioperative morbidity, enhancing functional recovery, improving postoperative outcomes in geriatric patients scheduled for elective craniotomy, and serving as a stepping stone to promote further research into the advancement of geriatric patient care.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is substantial interest in adding intrathecal opioids, such as hydromorphone to the multimodal pain management strategies. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to examine whether adding intrathecal hydromorphone to a multimodal strategy could safely improve analgesic efficacy for patients undergoing partial hepatectomy. METHODS A total of 126 adult patients undergoing partial hepatectomy under general anesthesia were randomly assigned to receive intrathecal hydromorphone (100 μg) or no block. The primary outcome was the incidence of moderate to severe pain during movement at 24 hours after surgery. Secondary outcomes included the incidence of moderate to severe pain during rest or movement at different times within 72 hours, pain scores during rest or movement within 72 hours after surgery, analgesic use, adverse events, and indicators of postoperative recovery. RESULTS Among the 124 patients analyzed, the intrathecal hydromorphone group showed a lower incidence of moderate to severe pain during movement at 24 hours after surgery (29.0% vs 50%; RR 0.58, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.92) than the control group. However, the absolute difference in pain scores on a numerical rating scale was less than 1 between the two groups at 24 hours after surgery. Mild pruritus within the first 24 hours after surgery was more frequent in the intrathecal hydromorphone group (19.4% vs 4.8%; p=0.01). DISCUSSION Intrathecal hydromorphone 100 μg reduced the incidence of moderate to severe pain and pain scores during movement within 24 hours after partial hepatectomy. However, the difference in pain scores may not be clinically significant, and intrathecal hydromorphone 100 μg did not significantly improve other analgesic or functional outcomes. Further investigation is needed to optimize the intrathecal hydromorphone dose. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR2000030652.

Abstract
Objective To design a multidisciplinary enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol for glioma patients undergoing elective craniotomy and evaluate its clinical efficacy and safety after implementation in a tertiary neurosurgical center in China. Methods ERAS protocol for glioma patients was developed and modified based on the best available evidence. Patients undergoing elective craniotomy for treatment of glioma between September 2019 to May 2021 were enrolled in a randomized clinical trial comparing a conventional neurosurgical perioperative care (control group) to an ERAS protocol (ERAS group). The primary outcome was postoperative hospital length of stay (LOS). Secondary outcomes were 30-day readmission rate, postoperative complications, duration of the drainage tube, time to first oral fluid intake, time to ambulation and functional recovery status. Results A total of 151 patients were enrolled (ERAS group: n = 80; control group: n = 71). Compared with the control group, postoperative LOS was significantly shorter in the ERAS group (median: 5 days vs. 7 days, p<0.0001). No 30-day readmission or reoperation occurred in either group. The time of first oral intake, urinary catheter removal within 24 h and early ambulation on postoperative day (POD) 1 were earlier and shorter in the ERAS group compared with the control group (p<0.001). No statistical difference was observed between the two groups in terms of surgical- and nonsurgical-related complications. Functional recovery in terms of Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) scores both at discharge and 30-day follow-up was similar in the two groups. Moreover, no significant difference was found between the two groups in the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores. Conclusion The implementation of the ERAS protocol for glioma patients offers significant benefits over conventional neurosurgical perioperative management, as it is associated with enhancing postoperative recovery, without additional perioperative complications and risks.

Abstract
Objective To investigate whether enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) can promote rehabilitation of patients after neurosurgical craniotomy. Methods The clinical data of 100 patients with brain tumor undergoing craniotomy in the Department of Neurosurgery, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, from January 2018 to August 2020 were collected, including 50 patients in the ERAS group and 50 patients in the control group. t-Test, Wilcoxon’s rank sum test, and chi-square analysis were used to compare the clinical characteristics, prognosis, and hospitalization time between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference in gender, age, and other general clinical data between the two groups (p > 0.05). The days of antiemetic drugs applied in the ERAS group were less than those in the control group (1.00 vs. 2.00 days, p = 0.003), and the proportion of patients requiring analgesics was lower than that of the control group (30% vs. 52%, OR = 0.41, 95% CI 0.18–0.93, p = 0.031). The time of urinary catheter removal and that of patients starting ambulation in the ERAS group were shorter than those in the control group (16.00 vs. 24.00 h, and 1.00 vs. 2.00 days, p < 0.001, respectively); and the hospital length of stay (LOS) in the ERAS group was shorter than that in the control group (Total LOS, 13.00 vs. 15.50 days; Postoperative LOS, 7.00 vs. 10.00 days, p < 0.001). By analyzing the prognosis of patients in the ERAS group and control group, we found that there was no significant difference in postoperative complications and Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) score 1 month after operation between the two groups. Conclusion The application of ERAS in craniotomy can accelerate the postoperative recovery of patients without increasing the perioperative risk, which is worthy of wide application. However, whether the ERAS measures can reduce the postoperative complications and improve the prognosis of patients still needs more large-scale case validation and multicenter collaborative study.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate whether psychological intervention (single mental simulation) among women after cesarean surgery (CC) can affect their willingness to verticalize, actual verticalization, and the duration of the first mobilization. In this prospective randomised, controlled study, 150 women after CC were divided into 3 groups: experimental group with process-simulation with elements of relaxation, experimental group with outcome-simulation with elements of relaxation and control group with elements of relaxation only. After a 5-h stay in the post-operative room, women listened to a recording with a stimulation. Pain and anxiety of verticalization were measured before and after listening to the recording and after verticalization. Almost 12% more patients verticalized in the process-simulation group than in the control group. Percentages of mobilized patients were: 39.4% the process-simulation group; 32.8% in the outcome-simulation group; 27.7% controls (p = 0.073). Mobilization was 5 min longer in the process-simulation group then in control (p < 0.01). Anxiety after the simulation was a significant covariate of the willingness to verticalize, actual verticalization and time spent in mobilization. We conclude that a single mental simulation can effectively motivate patients for their first verticalization after CC. Perceived anxiety before verticalization may affect the effectiveness of interventions, so we recommend to check it at the postoperative care. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04829266.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of a successful Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) in colorectal surgery favored its application in other organs, and hepatic resections were not excluded from this tendency. Some authors suggest that the laparoscopic approach is a central element to obtain better results. AIM To compare the laparoscopic vs. open hepatic resections within an ERAS to evaluate if there are any differences between them. METHODS In a descriptive study 80 hepatic resections that were divided into two groups, regarding to whether they were submitted to laparoscopy or open surgery. Demographic data, those referring to the hepatectomy and the ERAS was analyzed. RESULTS Forty-seven resections were carried out in open surgery and the rest laparoscopically; in the first group there was only one conversion to open surgery. Of the total, 17 resections were major hepatectomies and in 18 simultaneous resections. There were no differences between procedures regarding hospital stay and number of complications. There was a greater adherence to the ERAS (p=0.046) and a faster ambulation (p=0.001) in the open surgery. CONCLUSION The procedure, whether open or laparoscopically done in hepatic resections, does not seem to show differences in an ERAS evaluation.

Abstract
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) aims to improve patient outcomes by controlling specific aspects of perioperative care. The concept was introduced in 1997 by Henrik Kehlet, who suggested that while minor changes in perioperative practise have no significant impact alone, incorporating multiple changes could drastically improve outcomes. Since 1997, significant advancements have been made through the foundation of the ERAS Society, responsible for creating consensus guidelines on the implementation of enhanced recovery pathways. ERAS reduces length of stay by an average of 2.35 days and healthcare costs by $639.06 per patient, as identified in a 2020 meta-analysis of ERAS across multiple surgical subspecialties. Carbohydrate loading, bowel preparation and patient education in the pre-operative phase, goal-directed fluid therapy in the intra-operative phase, and early mobilisation and enteral nutrition in the post-operative phase are some of the interventions that are commonly implemented in ERAS protocols. While many specialties have been quick to incorporate ERAS, uptake has been slow in the transplantation field, leading to a scarcity of literature. Recent studies reported a 47% reduction in length of hospital stay (LOS) in liver transplantation patients treated with ERAS, while progress in kidney transplantation focuses on pain management and its incorporation into enhanced recovery protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early mobilisation reduces postoperative complications such as pneumonia, deep vein thrombosis and hospital length of stay. Many authors have reported poor compliance with early mobilisation within Enhanced Recovery After Surgery initiatives. OBJECTIVES The primary objective was to increase postoperative day (POD) 2 mobilisation rate from 23% to 75% in patients undergoing elective major hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery within 6 months. METHODS We report a multidisciplinary team clinical practice improvement project (CPIP) to improve postoperative mobilisation of patients undergoing elective major HPB surgery. We identified the common barriers to mobilisation and analysed using the fishbone or cause-and-effect diagram and Pareto chart. A series of Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles followed this. We tracked the rate of early mobilisation and mean distance walked. In the post hoc analysis, we examined the potential cost savings based on reduced hospital length of stay. RESULTS Mobilisation rate on POD 2 following elective major HPB surgery improved from 23% to 78.9%, and this sustained at 6 months after the CPIP. Wound pain was the most common reason for failure to ambulate on POD 2. Hospital length of stay reduced from a median of 8 days to 6 days with an estimated cost saving of S$2228 per hospital stay. CONCLUSION Multidisciplinary quality improvement intervention effort resulted in an improved POD 2 mobilisation rate for patients who underwent elective major HPB surgery. This observed outcome was sustained at 6 months after completion of the CPIP with potential cost savings.

Abstract
Background and objectives Effective pain control improves postoperative rehabilitation and enhances recovery. The aim of this review was to evaluate the available evidence and to develop recommendations for optimal pain management after open liver resection using Procedure-Specific Postoperative Pain Management (PROSPECT) methodology. Strategy and selection criteria Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in the English language from January 2010 to October 2019 assessing pain after liver resection using analgesic, anesthetic or surgical interventions were identified from MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane databases. Results Of 121 eligible studies identified, 31 RCTs and 3 systematic reviews met the inclusion criteria. Preoperative and intraoperative interventions that improved postoperative pain relief were non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, continuous thoracic epidural analgesia, and subcostal transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks. Limited procedure-specific evidence was found for intravenous dexmedetomidine, intravenous magnesium, intrathecal morphine, quadratus lumborum blocks, paravertebral nerve blocks, continuous local anesthetic wound infiltration and postoperative interpleural local anesthesia. No evidence was found for intravenous lidocaine, ketamine, dexamethasone and gabapentinoids. Conclusions Based on the results of this review, we suggest an analgesic strategy for open liver resection, including acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, combined with thoracic epidural analgesia or bilateral oblique subcostal TAP blocks. Systemic opioids should be considered as rescue analgesics. Further high-quality RCTs are needed to confirm and clarify the efficacy of the recommended analgesic regimen in the context of an enhanced recovery program.

Abstract
Background The have been few reports on use of ERAS in LC combined with LCBDE to promote postoperative recovery of patients. Therefore, the purpose of this cohort study was to explore the use of ERAS in patients who underwent LC combined with LCBDE. Material/Methods We collected clinical data of 445 patients who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with laparoscopic common bile duct exploration from January 2015 to February 2019 in our hospital and divided the patients into an E-LC group and an LC group. The stress response index, postoperative complication rate, and postoperative rehabilitation effect of the 2 groups were compared and analyzed. Results The WBC count and CRP levels in the E-LC group were significantly lower than those of the LC group 1 day after surgery (p<0.05). In terms of the postoperative complications, the incidence of nausea, incisional pain, and vomiting in the E-LC group were lower than in the LC group, and the differences were statistically significant (p<0.05). In terms of the postoperative rehabilitation efficacy, flatus time and length of hospital stay after surgery in the E-LC group were significantly shorter than those in the LC group (p<0.05). Conclusions Use of ERAS in the perioperative period in patients who underwent LC combined with LCBDE reduces the stress response and postoperative complications and accelerates postoperative rehabilitation.

Abstract
Enhanced recovery after surgery programs (ERP) have been implemented in many surgical specialties. Their impact in liver surgery is poorly understood and approach-specific ERPs have not yet been assessed. This retrospective study aims to analyse the effect of such programs on liver resection. All patients undergoing liver resection at a tertiary referral centre between January 2009 and April 2019 were identified. Primary outcome was the length of stay (LOS), secondary outcomes were functional recovery, complications and readmission rates. Patients in the ERP with different protocols for open, laparoscopic, major and minor resections were compared to a historical cohort. Of 1056 patients, 644 were treated within the ERP. A comparable duration of hospital stay [7 days (IQR (interquartile range) 6-12) vs 7 days (IQR 5-9) p = 0.047] and faster functional recovery with fewer complications was found in the ERP group [94 (50.5%) vs 103 (35.9%) p < 0.002]. Those advantages were smaller after open minor compared to open major resection. In patients undergoing laparoscopic resection no differences were observed except for a lower readmission rate [21 (9.3%) vs 13 (3.6%) p = 0.005]. Multivariable analysis showed that laparoscopy was associated with a shorter LOS. ERPs offer significant advantages in open liver surgery. Those advantages are less evident after laparoscopic resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the association between preoperative level of physical functioning and time to recovery of physical functioning, postoperative complications, and the impact of postoperative major complications in patients undergoing elective pancreatic resection. Additionally, prediction models to identify high-risk patients for developing a major complication were externally validated. METHODS Perioperative data of patients who underwent pancreatic resection were analysed. Primary outcomes were time to recovery of physical functioning and postoperative major complications. Impact of a major complication was explored by evaluating its effect on time to recovery of physical functioning. Risk-prediction models were retrieved following a systematic review. RESULTS Multivariable analysis (n = 63) showed that ASA grade III (OR 3.498) and preoperative platelet count (OR 1.005) were associated with major complications, whereas aerobic capacity (OR 0.347) was associated with time to recovery of physical functioning. Age, preoperative aerobic capacity, functional mobility, and perceived level of functional capacity were associated with the impact of a major complication. The AUC of two risk prediction models were 0.556 and 0.701. CONCLUSION Preoperative parameters of physical function were associated with postoperative outcomes and may be useful in outcome prediction, although future approaches should not only register the incidence of major complications but also take the impact of a complication on a patient's physical functioning into account.

Abstract
The global incidence of liver cancer continues to grow. Liver cancer, especially hepatocellular carcinoma, has high recurrence and mortality rates. Here, we review the past decade's diagnostic, therapeutic, and management strategies for hepatocellular carcinoma, and summarize new patient management approaches, including enhanced recovery after surgery, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. We compare traditional and innovative management methods, which comprise developments in precision medicine, and consider their limitations. Ongoing innovation and technological advances enable surgeons to gain deeper understandings of the multidimensionality of hepatocellular carcinoma, thereby promoting the continuous development of precision therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pancreatic surgery demands complex multidisciplinary management, which is often cumbersome to implement. Clinical pathways (CPs) are a tool to facilitate this task, but evidence for their utility in pancreatic surgery is scarce. This study evaluated if CPs are a suitable tool for process standardization in order to improve process and outcome quality in patients undergoing distal and total pancreatectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data of consecutive patients who underwent distal or total pancreatectomy before (n=67) or after (n=61) CP introduction were evaluated regarding catheter management, postoperative mobilization, pancreatic enzyme substitution, resumption of diet and length of stay. Outcome quality was assessed using glycaemia management, morbidity, mortality, reoperation and readmission rates. RESULTS The usage of incentive spirometers for pneumonia prophylaxis increased. The median number of days with hyperglycemia decreased significantly from 2.5 to 0. For distal pancreatectomy, the incidence of postoperative diabetes dropped from 27.9% to 7.1% (p=0.012). The incidence of postoperative exocrine pancreatic insufficiency decreased from 37.2% to 11.9% (p=0.007). There was no significant difference in mortality, morbidity, reoperation and readmission rates between groups. CONCLUSION Following implementation of a pancreatic surgery CP, several indicators of process and outcome quality improved, while others such as mortality and reoperation rates remained unchanged. CPs are a promising tool to improve quality of care in pancreatic surgery.

Abstract
Purpose: To assess the impact of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols in pancreaticoduodenectomy. Methods: Four databases were searched for studies describing ERAS program in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery published up to May 01, 2018. Primary outcomes were mortality, readmission, reoperation and postoperative complications. Secondary outcomes were the length of stay and cost. Results: A total of 19 studies met inclusion and exclusion criteria and included 3,387 patients. Meta-analysis showed a decrease in pancreatic fistula (OR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.67 to 0.95; I 2 = 0%), infection (OR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.50 to 0.78; I 2 = 0%), especially incision infection (OR = 0.62, 95% CI: 0.42 to 0.91; I 2 = 0%), and pulmonary infection (OR = 0.28, 95% CI: 0.12 to 0.66; I 2 = 0%). Length-of-stay (MD: -3.89 days, 95% CI: -4.98 to -2.81; I 2 = 78%) and cost were also significantly reduced. There was no significant increase in mortality, readmission, reoperation, or delayed gastric emptying. Conclusion: This analysis revealed that using ERAS protocols in pancreatic resections may help decrease the incidence of pancreatic fistula and infections. Furthermore, ERAS also reduces length of stay and cost of care. This study provides evidence for the benefit of ERAS protocols.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs have gained acceptance in various surgical specialties, no established neurosurgical ERAS protocol for patients undergoing elective craniotomy has been reported in the literature. Here, the authors describe the design, implementation, safety, and efficacy of a novel neurosurgical ERAS protocol for elective craniotomy in a tertiary care medical center located in China. METHODS A multidisciplinary neurosurgical ERAS protocol for elective craniotomy was developed based on the best available evidence. A total of 140 patients undergoing elective craniotomy between October 2016 and May 2017 were enrolled in a randomized clinical trial comparing this novel protocol to conventional neurosurgical perioperative management. The primary endpoint of this study was the postoperative hospital length of stay (LOS). Postoperative morbidity, perioperative complications, postoperative pain scores, postoperative nausea and vomiting, duration of urinary catheterization, time to first solid meal, and patient satisfaction were secondary endpoints. RESULTS The median postoperative hospital LOS (4 days) was significantly shorter with the incorporation of the ERAS protocol than that with conventional perioperative management (7 days, p < 0.0001). No 30-day readmission or reoperation occurred in either group. More patients in the ERAS group reported mild pain (visual analog scale score 1-3) on postoperative day 1 than those in the control group (79% vs. 33%, OR 7.49, 95% CI 3.51-15.99, p < 0.0001). Similarly, more patients in the ERAS group had a shortened duration of pain (1-2 days; 53% vs. 17%, OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.29-1.37, p = 0.0001). The urinary catheter was removed within 6 hours after surgery in 74% patients in the ERAS group (OR 400.1, 95% CI 23.56-6796, p < 0.0001). The time to first oral liquid intake was a median of 8 hours in the ERAS group compared to 11 hours in the control group (p < 0.0001), and solid food intake occurred at a median of 24 hours in the ERAS group compared to 72 hours in the control group (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS This multidisciplinary, evidence-based, neurosurgical ERAS protocol for elective craniotomy appears to have significant benefits over conventional perioperative management. Implementation of ERAS is associated with a significant reduction in the postoperative hospital stay and an acceleration in recovery, without increasing complication rates related to elective craniotomy. Further evaluation of this protocol in large multicenter studies is warranted.Clinical trial registration no.: ChiCTR-INR-16009662 (chictr.org.cn).

Abstract
BACKGROUND After the publication of the first recommendations of ERAS Society regarding colonic surgery, the proposal of surgical stress reduction, maintenance of physiological functions and optimized recovery was expanded to other surgical specialties, with minimal variations. AIM To analyze the implementation of ERAS protocols for liver surgery in a tertiary center. METHODS Fifty patients that underwent elective hepatic surgery were retrospectively evaluated, using medical records data, from June 2014 to August 2016. After September 2016, 35 patients were prospectively evaluated and managed in accordance with ERAS protocol. RESULTS There was no difference in age, type of hepatectomy, laparoscopic surgery and postoperative complications between the groups. In ERAS group, it was observed a reduction in preoperative fasting and in the length of hospital stay by two days (p< 0.001). Carbohydrate loading, j-shaped incision, early oral feeding, postoperative prevention of nausea and vomiting and early mobilization were also significantly related to ERAS group. Oral bowel preparation, pre-anesthetic medication, sub-costal incision, prophylactic nasogastric intubation and abdominal drainage were more common in control group. CONCLUSION Implementation of ERAS protocol is feasible and beneficial for health institutions and patients, without increasing morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Thoracic epidural (TE) analgesia has been the standard of care for transthoracic esophagectomy patients since the 1990s. Multimodal anesthesia using intrathecal diamorphine, local anesthetic infusion catheters (LAC) into the paravertebral space and rectus sheaths and intravenous opioid postoperatively represent an alternative option for postoperative analgesia. While TE can provide excellent pain control, it may inhibit early postoperative recovery by causing hypotension and reducing mobilization. The aim of this study is to determine whether multimodal analgesia with LAC was effective with respect to adequate pain management, and compare its impact on hypotension and mobility. Patients receiving multimodal LAC analgesia were matched using propensity score matching to patients undergoing two-phase trans-thoracic esophagectomy with a TE over a two-year period (from January 2015 to December 2016). Postoperative endpoints that had been evaluated prospectively, including pain scores on movement and at rest, inotrope or vasoconstrictor requirements, and hypotension (systolic BP < 90 mmHg), were compared between cohorts. Out of 14 patients (13 male) that received LAC were matched to a cohort of 14 patients on age, sex, and comorbidity. Mean and maximum pain scores at rest and movement on postoperative days 0 to 3 were equivalent between the groups. In both cohorts, 50% of patients had a pain score of more than 7 on at least one occasion. Fewer patients in the LAC group required vasoconstrictor infusion (LAC: 36% vs. TE: 57%, P = 0.256) to maintain blood pressure or had episodes of hypotension (LAC: 43% vs. TE: 79%, P = 0.05). The LAC group was more able to ambulate on the first postoperative day (LAC: 64% vs. TE: 43%, P = 0.14) but these differences were not statistically significant. Within the epidural cohort, three patients had interruption of epidural due to dislodgement or failure of block compared to no disruption in the multimodal local anesthesia catheters group (P = 0.05). Therefore, multimodal anesthesia using spinal diamorphine with combined paravertebral and rectus sheath local anesthetic catheters appears to provide comparable pain relief post two-phase esophagectomy and may provide more reliable and safe analgesia than the current standard of care.

Abstract
Surgical resection remains the only proven curative treatment for peri-hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Despite recent advances in liver surgery techniques and perioperative care, resection for peri-hilar cholangiocarcinoma remains associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Considerable variation in the perioperative management of these patients exists. Optimal perioperative management has the potential to deliver improved outcomes. This article seeks to summarize the evidence underpinning best practice in the perioperative care of patients undergoing resection of peri-hilar cholangiocarcinoma. The authors also seek to identify areas where research efforts and future clinical trials should be targeted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Concern exists regarding the use of hepatectomy to treat colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) in octogenarians due to prior studies suggesting elevated morbidity and mortality. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) within pre-operative assessment and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) have both been shown to be associated with low morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing hepatectomy. This study sought to compare the outcomes of octogenarians with patients aged 70-79 undergoing hepatectomy for CRLM, within a center utilizing both CPET and ERAS. METHODS Consecutive patients age 70 or older who underwent hepatectomy for CRLM at Aintree University Hospital (Liverpool,UK), between May 2008 and May 2015 were identified from a prospectively maintained cancer database. Data were extracted and comparisons drawn. RESULTS 127 patients aged 70-79 years and 34 octogenarians underwent respectively 137 and 35 hepatectomy for CRLM. There was no difference in hospital stay (6 days), morbidity and mortality between the groups. OS at 1, 3 and 5 years were 86.7%, 55% and 35.8% for those aged 70-79 compared to 79.4%, 37.3% and 20.4% for the octogenarians (p=0.127). DFS at 1,3 and 5 years was 52.5%, 31.7% and 31.7% for 70-79 group compared to 46.2%, 31.5% and 16.8% for the octogenarians (p=0.838). On multivariate analysis major hepatectomy was associated with an increased risk of post-operative complications, inferior OS and DFS. Chronological age was not a predictor of postoperative complications, poorer OS or DFS. CONCLUSIONS Appropriately selected octogenarians can have similar postoperative outcomes to patients aged 70-79 when undergoing hepatectomy for CRLM using ERAS combined with CPET. This study advocates using CPET and ERAS in the selection and management of octogenarian patients with CRLM undergoing hepatectomy.
