Int Wound J 2024; 21:e14781. [PMID: 38531376 PMCID: PMC10965273 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.14781] [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: 01/27/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024] Open
Abstract
A meta-analysis was executed to comprehensively examine the impacts of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) care interventions on complications and wound infections following bladder cancer (BCa) surgery. Computer searches were carried out in Embase, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Wanfang and CNKI, from their inception to November 2023, for RCTs regarding perioperative ERAS nursing interventions in patients with BCa. Two independent researchers performed literature screening, extracted data and carried out quality evaluations. Stata 17.0 software was utilized for the analysis of the data. Ultimately, 16 RCTs, involving 1190 patients, were included. The analysis showed that, in comparison with conventional nursing methods, perioperative ERAS nursing application in patients with BCa remarkably decreased the occurrence of wound infections (OR: 0.31, 95% CI: 0.16-0.59) and complications (OR: 0.19, 95% CI: 0.13-0.28). Our study indicates that perioperative care based on the ERAS concept remarkably decreased the occurrence of wound infections and complications following BCa surgery, demonstrating notable nursing efficacy and meriting widespread clinical promotion.

Abstract
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols challenge the conventional and rigid methods of surgery and anesthesia and bring about novel changes that are quite drastic. The core principle of the protocol is to minimize the metabolic disturbance caused by surgical injury, facilitate the restoration of functions in a brief period, and promote the resumption of normal activity at the earliest. To compare the outcomes of ERAS and standard protocol for patients who have undergone radical cystectomy (RC) with ileal conduit urinary diversion. This prospective randomized controlled study was performed between 2015 and 2023. The 77 patients were divided into two groups ERAS (n=39) and Standard (n=38) by sequential randomization. These two groups are divided according to protocols of bowel preparation, anesthesia, and postoperative nutrition. The clinical and demographic characteristics of the patients, and the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scores were recorded. Perioperative findings, the degree of complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification, and the total cost of treatment were recorded and analyzed. Length of hospital stay (18.82±9.25 day vs 27.34±15.05 day), and cost of treatment (2168,2±933$ 2879±1806$) were higher in the standard group. The rate of nausea and vomiting and the use of antiemetics were higher in the ERAS group compared to the standard group. In patients undergoing RC, the ERAS protocol was found to shorten the duration of hospitalization and reduce the total cost of hospital stay.

ERAS Protocol Applied to Oncological Colorectal Mini-invasive Surgery Reduces the Surgical Stress Response and Improves Long-term Cancer-specific Survival. Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech 2023; 33:297-301. [PMID: 37184246 DOI: 10.1097/sle.0000000000001181] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are known to reduce postoperative complications and improve short-term outcomes by minimizing the surgical stress response (SSR). Retrospective reviews of large cohorts suggest that they may also have an impact on long-term oncological outcomes. In 2016, Mari et al published a randomized trial on ERAS protocol and the impact on the SSR; they found that IL-6 was less expressed in patients who undergo laparoscopic colorectal surgery within an ERAS protocol compared with controls. The aim of the present study is to report the long-term oncological outcomes of patients enrolled 5 years after the conclusion of the study. METHODS Patients enrolled had received the indication for major colorectal surgery, aged between 18 and 80 years, with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grades I to III, autonomous for mobilization and walking, eligible for laparoscopic technique. In total, 140 patients were enrolled and randomized into 2 groups of 70 patients each. Among these patients, 52 in the ERAS group (EG) and 53 in the Standard group (SG) had colorectal cancer. For them, a 5-year oncological follow-up according to the NCCN 16 guidelines was planned. IL-6, C-reactive protein, prolactine, white blood cell count, albumin, and prealbumin were compared between oncological patients in the EG and in the SG. RESULTS EG showed lower IL-6 on postoperative day 1 (21.2±9.1 vs. 40.3 ±11.3; P <0.05) and on day 5 (14.9±6.2 vs. 38.7±8.9; P <0.05), lower C-reactive protein on day 1 (48.3±15.7 vs. 89.4±20.3; P <0.05) and on day 5 (38.3±11.4 vs. 74.3±19.7; P <0.05), and lower pre-albumine on day 5 (18.9±7.2 vs. 12.3±6.9; P <0.05) compared with SG. Median oncological follow-up was 57 months [46.5 to 60]. There was no statistically significant difference in overall survival (log rank=0.195) and disease-free survival (Log rank=0.089) between groups. Cancer-specific survival was significantly better (log rank=0.038) in the EG compared with patients in the SG. CONCLUSIONS ERAS protocol applied to colorectal laparoscopic surgery for cancer is able to minimize the SSR. As a possible result, cancer-specific survival seems to be improved in patients within enhanced protocols. However, even though there may be an association between an excess of SSR and worse oncological outcomes, the favorable effect of ERAS protocols toward better overall and disease-free survival is yet to be demonstrated.

Preliminary Results of ERAS Protocol in a Single Surgeon Prospective Case Series. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 58:medicina58091234. [PMID: 36143911 PMCID: PMC9501830 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58091234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2022] [Revised: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: The aim was to compare the intra and postoperative outcomes between the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol versus the standard of care protocol (SCP) in patients who underwent radical cystectomy performed by a single surgeon. Materials and Methods: A retrospective comparative study was conducted including patients who underwent radical cystectomy from 2017 to 2020. Length of stay (LOS), incidence of ileus, early postoperative complications, and number of re-hospitalizations within 30 days were considered as primary comparative outcomes of the study. Results: Data were collected for 91 patients who underwent cystectomy, and 70 and 21 patients followed the SCP and ERAS protocol, respectively. The mean age of the patients was 70.6 (SD 9.5) years. Although there was a statistically significant difference in time to flatus (TTF) [3 (2.7−3) vs. 1 (1−2 IQR) days, p < 0.001, in the SC hospital and in the ERAS center respectively], no difference was reported in time to first defecation (TTD) [5 (4−6) vs. 4 (3−5.8), p = 0.086 respectively]. The median LOS in the SCP group was 12 (IQR 11−13) days vs. 9 (IQR 8−13 p = 0.024). In the postoperative period, patients reported 22 complications (37% in SCP and 42.8% in ERAS group, p = 0.48). Conclusions: The study reveals how even partial adherence to the ERAS protocols leads to similar outcomes when compared to SCP. As a single surgeon series, our study confirmed the role of surgeons in reducing complications and improving surgical outcomes.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of modified Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol and standard of care (SC) in bladder cancer patients who underwent radical cystectomy (RC). The length of stay and complications rates were the primary outcomes. Time functional recovery, bowel movement, mobilization, drain removal, and other perioperative outcomes were the secondary outcomes.
Methods
A cohort retrospective study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the modified ERAS protocol compared to SC in 61 patients who underwent RC (36 ERAS vs. 25 SC).
Results
The modified ERAS protocol was associated with shorter length of stay (9.3 ± 5.0 days vs. 12.6 ± 6.7 days, P = 0.032) and reduction in important postoperative milestones, including days to first solid diet (3.5 ± 1.6 vs. 5.5 ± 1.5, P = 0.000), days to first defecation (4.8 ± 2.4 vs. 7.2 ± 2.4, P = 0.001), days to first walking (4.7 ± 2.2 vs. 7.9 ± 2.4, P = 0.000), and days to drain removal (3.9 ± 1.3 vs. 5.9 ± 2.5 P = 0.001). Postoperative complications rates were lower in the modified ERAS groups, but the result was not statistically significant (P = 0.282). Also, there were no significant differences between transfusion requiring, intensive care monitoring, re-operation, and re-admission between groups.
Conclusion
This study demonstrated that the modified ERAS protocol for RC can accelerate postoperative recovery without any adverse effects on morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although in the recent years, laparoscopy and Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols have improved postoperative recovery in radical cystectomy (RC), the clinical efficacy of their association remains unclear. Our objective is to analyze the possible benefits obtained from laparoscopic RC (LRC) and its subsequent combination with an ERAS (ERAS-LRC) protocol compared to open RC (ORC). MATERIAL AND METHODS We analyzed 187 consecutive RCs with ileal conduit performed in our center, of which 139 met the inclusion criteria: 47 ORC, 39 LRC (both with conventional protocol) and 52 ERAS-LRCs. RESULTS No significant differences were found regarding age, sex, BMI and ASA score between groups. ERAS-LRC obtained a shorter length of stay than LRC and ORC (median 8 [7-10]) vs. 13 [10-17] vs. 15 [13-19.5] days, respectively; P<.001). ERAS-LRC had a shorter stay in the ICU and less days of nasogastric tube (P<.001). Postoperative complications and readmission rates were similar among groups. Multivariate logistic regression showed that absence of complications, younger age and ERAS behaved as independent factors for shorter hospital stay, while ERAS was the only independent factor of lower readmission rate at 90 days. CONCLUSIONS Although LRC presented perioperative benefits compared to ORC, the results were better after the implementation of an ERAS protocol. ERAS protocol had stronger impact on recovery than the surgical approach of the procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical and economic impacts of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programmes have been demonstrated extensively. Whether ERAS protocols also have a biological effect remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the biological impact of an ERAS programme in patients undergoing liver surgery. METHODS A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing liver surgery (2010-2018) was undertaken. Patients operated before and after ERAS implementation in 2013 were compared. Surrogate markers of surgical stress were monitored: white blood cell count (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP) level, albumin concentration, and haematocrit. Their perioperative fluctuations were defined as Δvalues, calculated on postoperative day (POD) 0 for Δalbumin and Δhaematocrit and POD 2 for ΔWBC and ΔCRP. RESULTS A total of 541 patients were included, with 223 and 318 patients in non-ERAS and ERAS groups respectively. Groups were comparable, except for higher rates of laparoscopy (24.8 versus 11.2 per cent; P < 0.001) and major resection (47.5 versus 38.1 per cent; P = 0.035) in the ERAS group. Patients in the ERAS group showed attenuated ΔWBC (2.00 versus 2.75 g/l; P = 0.013), ΔCRP (60 versus 101 mg/l; P <0.001) and Δalbumin (12 versus 16 g/l; P < 0.001) compared with those in the no-ERAS group. Subgroup analysis of open resection showed similar results. Multivariable analysis identified ERAS as the only independent factor associated with high ΔWBC (odds ratio (OR) 0.65, 95 per cent c.i. 0.43 to 0.98; P = 0.038), ΔCRP (OR 0.41, 0.23 to 0.73; P = 0.003) and Δalbumin (OR 0.40, 95 per cent c.i. 0.22 to 0.72; P = 0.002). CONCLUSION Compared with conventional management, implementation of ERAS was associated with an attenuated stress response in patients undergoing liver surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols were introduced in clinical practice to reduce complication rates and hospital stay. We performed a randomized controlled single center study to evaluate perioperative benefits of an adapted ERAS protocol in patients with bladder cancer who underwent radical cystectomy (RC) and ileal urinary diversions (IUD). MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty five from 90 consecutive randomized patients were enrolled in an adapted ERAS protocol. Length of stay, diet issues, return of bowel function, readmission rates and complications were examined. RESULTS Among patients following ERAS protocol, we found a significant reduction in time to first flatus (1 vs 5 days, P < .001), time to first stool (2 vs 5 days, P < .001), time to normal diet (5 vs 6 days, P < .001) and length of stay (16 vs 18 days, P < .001). Also, postoperative ileus at less than 4 days was lower than in non-ERAS patients (15.6% vs 24.4%), but with a marginal trend toward significance (P = .05). Readmission rate was lower in the ERAS group, but the difference did not reach statistical significance. We also found a lower readmission and complication rate in patients with ERAS protocol (6.6% vs 11.1%, P = .23 and 46.6% vs 57.5%, P = .29, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Implementation of ERAS protocol for patients undergoing RC in our center was associated with a significant reduction in the time to the first flatus, time to the first stool, time to a normal diet, length of hospital stay.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) concepts are implemented in various surgical disciplines. For patients undergoing radical cystectomy, prospective data are still rare. In the year 2014, our group could prove significant benefits of ERAS for these patients in a prospective randomized study compared to a conservative regimen. OBJECTIVE To evaluate long-term follow-up results of ERAS concepts in patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. METHODS Of the 101 patients who had initially prospectively been randomized to ERAS or a conservative regimen, 35 patients could be included in the study. Median follow-up time was 83 months. Primary end point assessed quality of life. Secondary end points were cancer-specific survival and overall survival. RESULTS Five to seven years after the initial inclusion to the study, no significant difference regarding quality of life parameters was detected (p values range between 0.112 and 0.970). Continence status in patients with neobladder showed no significant differences between ERAS and conservative regimens (p = 0.785). Cancer-specific survival in the ERAS group did not differ significantly from that in the conservative group (49 vs. 58%, p = 0.725). CONCLUSIONS While ERAS represents an excellent way to improve postoperative reconvalescence and quality of life in the short-term follow-up, our data do not support the idea that there is also a long-term effect in terms of quality of life issues.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Among the measures taken in the recent years to reduce the morbidity and improve functional recovery after radical cystectomy (RC), the optimization of perioperative care pathways is gaining a prominent role. The aim of this systematic review of the literature with meta-analysis is to assess the impact of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols vs. standard of care on perioperative outcomes of patients undergoing RC. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A systematic review with meta-analysis was performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines. MEDLINE, SCOPUS and Web of Science databases were searched. Only comparative studies evaluating the impact of ERAS protocols vs. standard of care on intraoperative and postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing RC were included. Cumulative analysis was conducted using Review Manager v.5.3 software. Statistical heterogeneity was tested using the χ2 Test, and a P value <0.10 was used to indicate heterogeneity. Random-effects and fixed-effects models were used as appropriate depending on heterogeneity status. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS A total of 27 studies were included, namely 3 randomized and 24 non-randomized controlled studies, resulting in 4712 patients, 2690 (57%) participants to some ERAS protocol and 2022 (43%) controls receiving standard of care. A number of primary and secondary outcome measures were assessed in the original studies. Pooled data showed that ERAS protocols were associated with significantly faster recovery of bowel function, faster return to regular diet and shorter hospital stay with no increase in 30-day and 90-day major complication, mortality or readmission rates compared to standard of care. The magnitude of benefit of the various ERAS protocols tested had, however, a non-negligible inter-study variability. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review with meta-analysis of comparative studies showed that ERAS protocols applied to patients undergoing RC enabled a faster recovery of bowel function, a faster return to regular diet and a shorter hospital stay with no increase in major complication or readmission rate compared to standard perioperative care. RC with ERAS protocols should be considered the new standard of care.

Abstract
The aim of this review was to systematically compare the outcomes of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) with standard care (SC) after radical cystectomy. We performed a systematic search of PubMed, Ovid, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library to identify studies published until September 2017 which involved a comparison of ERAS and SC. A meta-analysis was performed to assess the outcomes of ERAS versus SC. Sixteen studies including 8 prospective and 8 retrospective trials met the eligibility criteria. A total of 2100 participants were assigned to ERAS (1258 cases) or SC (842 cases). The time to first flatus passage {WMD=-0.95 days, 95% CI (-1.50,-0.41), P=0.0006}, time until return to a regular diet {WMD=-2.15 days, 95% CI (-2.86,-1.45), P<0.00001} and the length of hospital stay {WMD=-3.75 days, 95% CI (-5.13,-2.36), P<0.00001} were significantly shorter, and the incidence of postoperative complications {OR=0.60, 95% CI (0.44, 0.83), P=0.002}, especially postoperative paralytic ileus {OR=0.43, 95% CI (0.30, 0.62), P<0.00001} and cardiovascular complications {OR=0.28, 95% CI (0.09, 0.90), P=0.03} was significantly lower in the ERAS group than those in the SC group. This meta-analysis demonstrated that ERAS was associated with a shorter time to first flatus passage, return of bowel function, and the length of hospital stay than SC in patients undergoing radical cystectomy, as well as a lower rate of postoperative complications, especially paralytic ileus and cardiovascular complications.

Abstract
Aim To assess the clinical parameters and compare the stress and pain response between fast-track recovery protocol and conventional treatment in patients undergoing major liver resection. Methods Eighty-eight patients suffering from malignant liver tumours were surgically treated from May 2012 to March 2015. After randomisation, they were prospectively divided into two groups: group fast-track patients (n = 46) and group conventional treatment patients (n = 42). Demographic and clinical data were collected and patients were assessed with pain scale (behavioural observation scale and visual analog scale), while depression levels were evaluated with Zung self-rating depression scale and three Numeric Analog Scale self-reported questions. Peripheral blood samples were collected at time points: T1 on the admission day, T2 on the day of surgery and T3 on the day of discharge examining serum levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol. Conclusion Fast-track recovery protocols seem to be associated with improvement in several clinical parameters, without compromising, biologic or emotional stress in patients undergoing major liver resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols or laparoscopic technique has been applied in various surgical procedures. However, the clinical efficacy of combination of the two methods still remains unclear. Thus, our aim was to assess the role of ERAS protocols in laparoscopic abdominal surgery. METHODS We performed a systematic literature search in various databases from January 1990 to October 2017. The results were analyzed according to predefined criteria. RESULTS In the present meta-analysis, the outcomes of 34 comparative studies (15 randomized controlled studies and 19 non-randomized controlled studies) enrolling 3615 patients (1749 in the ERAS group and 1866 in the control group) were pooled. ERAS group was associated with shorter hospital stay (WMD - 2.37 days; 95% CI - 3.00 to - 1.73; P 0.000) and earlier time to first flatus (WMD - 0.63 days; 95% CI - 0.90 to - 0.36; P 0.000). Meanwhile, lower overall postoperative complication rate (OR 0.62; 95% CI 0.51-0.76; P 0.000) and less hospital cost (WMD 801.52 US dollar; 95% CI - 918.15 to - 684.89; P 0.000) were observed in ERAS group. Similar readmission rate (OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.52-1.03, P 0.070) and perioperative mortality (OR 1.33; 95% CI 0.53-3.34; P 0.549) were found between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS ERAS protocol for laparoscopic abdominal surgery is safe and effective. ERAS combined with laparoscopic technique is associated with faster postoperative recovery without increasing readmission rate and perioperative mortality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are multimodal perioperative care protocols that are designed to shorten recovery time and reduce complication rates.1,2 An ERAS protocol was implemented in the Saskatoon Health region for radical cystectomy patients in 2013. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of the protocol for patients having radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. METHODS Length of stay, early in-hospital complication rates, 30-day readmission rates, age, and gender were collected for patients seen for bladder cancer requiring radical cystectomy in Saskatoon between January 2007 and December 2016. Of these patients, 176 were pre-ERAS implementation (control group) and 84 were post-ERAS implementation (experimental group). The data from each variable was compared between the groups using a Z-test. RESULTS There was no significant difference in age or gender of patients between the groups. Average length of stay pre-ERAS was 14.25±14.57 days, which is significantly longer than the post-ERAS average of 10.91±8.56 days (p=0.043). There was no significant difference in 30-day readmission rate (19.87% pre-ERAS vs. 19.05% post-ERAS; p=0.873) or complication rate (51.7% pre-ERAS vs. 46.4% post-ERAS; p=0.425). CONCLUSIONS The implementation of an ERAS protocol for radical cystectomy reduces length of stay, with no effect on early complication rates or 30-day readmission rates. This indicates that the protocol is safe for patients when compared to previous practices and is an effective means of reducing length of stay.

Abstract
The purpose of the review The analysis of the components of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols in urologic surgery. Recent findings ERAS protocols has been studied for over 20 years in different surgical procedures, mostly in colorectal surgery. The concept of improving patient care and reducing postoperative complications was also applied to major urologic surgery and especially procedure of radical cystectomy. This procedure is technically challenging, due to a major surgical resection and high postoperative complication rate that may reach 65%. Several clinical pathways were introduced to improve perioperative course and reduce the length of hospital stay. These protocols differ from ERAS modalities in other surgeries. The reasons for this are longer operative time, increased risk of perioperative transfusion and infection, and urinary diversion achieved using transposed intestinal segments. Previous studies in this area analyzed the need for mechanical bowel preparation, postoperative nasogastric tube decompression, as well as the duration of urinary drainage. Furthermore, the attention has also been drawn to perioperative fluid optimization, pain management, and bowel function. Summary Notwithstanding partial resemblance between the pathways in major urologic surgery and other pelvic surgeries, there are still scarce guidelines for ERAS protocols in urology, which is why further studies should assess the importance of preoperative medical optimization, implementation of thoracic epidural anesthesia and analgesia, and perioperative nutritional management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery pathway was associated with a faster bowel function recovery and no increase in morbidity compared with standard perioperative care in a contemporary series of patients undergoing radical cystectomy. METHODS A prospective single-center single-surgeon cohort of 114 consecutive patients treated with open radical cystectomy between July 2013 and June 2016 was analyzed. A study group of 74 patients with Enhanced Recovery After Surgery pathway was compared with a control group of 40 patients with standard perioperative care. Primary outcome was recovery of bowel function, measured by resumption of bowel sounds, passage of flatus, and passage of stool. Secondary outcome was rate of overall and major 90-day postoperative complications. RESULTS Bowel function recovery was significantly faster in the study group. Resumption of bowel sounds on postoperative day 1 was recorded in 43 (58%) vs 4 (10%) patients, passage of flatus within postoperative day 2 in 41 (55%) vs 11 (28%) patients, and passage of stool within postoperative day 3 in 37 (50%) vs no patients in the study vs control group, respectively (P < .01 for all). Overall and major 90-day complications were observed in 35 (47.3%) and 13 (17.6%) patients in the study group, and in 25 (62.5%) and 9 (22.5%) patients in the control group (P = .14 and 0.38, respectively). CONCLUSION In patients undergoing open radical cystectomy, an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery pathway allowed a significantly faster bowel function recovery with no increase in 90-day postoperative complications compared with standard perioperative care.

Abstract
Even with advances in perioperative medical care, anesthetic management, and surgical techniques, radical cystectomy (RC) continues to be associated with a high morbidity rate as well as a prolonged length of hospital stay. In recent years, there has been great interest in identifying multimodal and interdisciplinary strategies that help accelerate postoperative convalescence by reducing variation in perioperative care of patients undergoing complex surgeries. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) attempts to evaluate and incorporate scientific evidence for modifying as many of the factors contributing to the morbidity of RC as possible, and optimize how patients are cared for before and after surgery. In this chapter, we review the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative elements of using an ERAS protocol for RC.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is a lack of evidence demonstrating the benefits of using enhanced recovery after surgery protocols (ERAS). Here, we propose to use a randomized clinical pilot study to demonstrate the benefits and feasibility of implementing ERAS versus standard protocols (SP) in patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion. METHODS 27 consecutive patients undergoing RC were included in the study. 12 patients were prospectively randomized to follow an ERAS protocol and 15 patients followed an SP. Duration of hospital stay, time to first flatulence and bowel movement, complications and 30 day readmission rates, as well as subjective outcomes such as postoperative pain, nausea, bowel symptoms, quality of life (QoL), and patient experience and satisfaction were evaluated. RESULTS Patients following ERAS had a significantly shorter: hospital stay, time to flatulence, and time to bowel movement than patients following SP. No major complications were reported. Only one patient in the ERAS group was readmitted for bowel obstruction, and no patients were readmitted in the SP group. Patients under ERAS reported lower postoperative pain scores. Mean Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Bladder Cancer score decreased and mean Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite, bowel symptom score increased in the SP group at the time of discharge compared to prior to surgery. CONCLUSIONS This study shows the feasibility of a randomized pilot study assessing ERAS compared to SP post RC. ERAS protocol provided evidence of significant benefits over SP with similar complication rates. This study suggests the need for a clinical trial of assessing ERAS protocols after RC.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fast track surgery (FTS) management in gastric cancer (GC) with laparoscopy D2 gastrectomy. FTS is the integration of different medical intervention activities during the perioperative period to accelerate the recovery of patients undergoing surgery. It has been used for colorectal cancer. The present study focuses on evaluating FTS in GC with laparoscopy D2 gastrectomy. Seventy-five patients diagnosed with GC between June 2014 and December 2016 were enrolled in this study and were divided into FTS and conventional care groups. All patients received elective standard D2 gastrectomy. The clinical parameters and serum indicators were compared. FTS was associated with shorter postoperative hospital stay (17.17 ± 9.27 versus 14.06 ± 5.05 days; P = 0.046), shorter time to bowel function return (4.56 ± 1.16 versus 3.12 ± 0.88 days; P < 0.01), less stress response on postoperative day 1 (108.13 ± 40.55 versus 79.01 ± 37.10; P < 0.01), and accelerated decrease in serum albumin (30.76 ± 4.10 versus 32.56 ± 3.20 g/L; P = 0.04) and lymphocyte count (0.78 ± 0.34 versus 0.78 ± 0.34 g/L; P = 0.016). The postoperative complications, including ileus, anastomotic leakage, and infection, were similar (all P > 0.05). FTS combined with laparoscopy D2 gastrectomy can promote faster postoperative recovery, improve early postoperative nutritional status, and more effectively reduce postoperative stress reaction and is safe and effective for GC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the results of the implementation of an enhanced recovery program (ERAS) for open approach radical cystectomy compared to the historical cohort of the same hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of 138 consecutive patients who underwent radical cystectomy with Bricker or Studer ileal derivation (97 historical vs. 41 ERAS). Overall complication rate, Clavien-Dindo stage>2 complications, mortality, hospital and critical care length of stay and readmission rates, as well as need for reoperation, nasogastric intubation, transfusion or parenteral nutrition were compared. RESULTS No statistically significant differences in overall complication rate were found (73.171 vs. 77.32%; OR 1.25, 95% CI 0.54-2.981; P=.601) nor in Clavien-Dindo>2 complications (41.463 vs. 42.268%; OR 1.033, 95% CI 0.492-2.167; P=.93), mortality, lengths of stays readmission and reoperation rates. The need for nasogastric tube insertion was lower in the ERAS group (43.902 vs. 78.351%; OR 4.624, 95% CI 2.112-10.123; P<.0001), as well as the need for total parenteral nutrition (26.829 vs. 34.021%; OR 12.234, 95% CI 5.165-28.92; P<.0001), and time under endotracheal intubation since anaesthesia induction (median [IRQ]=325 (285-355) vs. 540 (360-600) min; P<.0001). CONCLUSION Enhanced recovery programs in radical cystectomy decrease interventionism on the patient without increasing morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fast-track (FT) postoperative protocol in oncological patients after major abdominal surgery reduces complications and length of postoperative stay compared to the conventional (CON) protocol. However, stress and pain responses have not been compared between the two protocols. OBJECTIVES To compare stress, pain, and related neuropeptidic responses (adrenocorticotropic hormone [ACTH], cortisol, and neuropeptide Y [NPY]) between FT and CON protocols. METHOD A clinical trial with repeated measurements was conducted (May 2012 to May 2014) with a sample of 63 hepatectomized or pancreatectomized patients randomized into two groups: FT ( n = 29) or CON ( n = 34). Demographic and clinical data were collected, and pain (Visual Analog Scale [VAS] and Behavioral Pain Scale [BPS]) and stress responses (3 self-report questions) assessed. NPY, ACTH, and cortisol plasma levels were measured at T1 = day of admission, T2 = day of surgery, and T3 = prior to discharge. RESULTS ACTHT1 and ACTHT2 levels were positively correlated with self-reported stress levels (ρ = .43 and ρ = .45, respectively, p < .05) in the FT group. NPY levels in the FT group were higher than those in the CON group at all time points ( p ≤ .004); this difference remained significant after adjusting for T1 levels through analysis of covariance for age, gender, and body mass index ( F = .003, F = .149, F = .015, respectively, p > .05). CONCLUSIONS Neuropeptidic levels were higher in the FT group. Future research should evaluate this association further, as these biomarkers might serve as objective indicators of postoperative pain and stress.

Abstract
CONTEXT Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols aim to improve surgical outcomes by reducing variation in perioperative best practices. However, among published studies, results show a striking variation in the effect of ERAS pathways on perioperative outcomes after cystectomy. OBJECTIVE To perform a systematic review of the literature and a meta-analysis comparing the effectiveness of ERAS versus standard care on perioperative outcomes after cystectomy. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION We performed a literature search of PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Google Scholar, the Cochrane Library, and the health-related grey literature in February 2016 according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis and the Cochrane Handbook. Studies were reviewed according to criteria from the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine. Thirteen studies (1493 total patients) met the inclusion criteria (ERAS: 801, standard care: 692). A pooled meta-analysis of all comparative studies was performed using inverse-weighted, fixed-effects models, and random-effects models. Publication bias was graphically assessed using contour-enhanced funnel plots and was formally tested using the Harbord modification of the Egger test. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Pooled data showed a lower overall complication rate (risk ratio [RR]: 0.85, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.74-0.97, p = 0.017, I2=35.6%), a shorter length of stay (standardized mean difference:-0.87, 95% CI: -1.31 to -0.42, p=0.001, I2=92.8%), and a faster return of bowel function (standardized mean difference: -1.02, 95% CI: -1.69 to -0.34, p=0.003, I2=92.2%) in the ERAS group. No difference was noted for the overall readmission rates (RR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.39-1.41, p=0.36, I2=51.4%), although a stratified analysis showed a lower 30-d readmission rate in the ERAS group (RR: 0.39, 95% CI: 0.19-0.83, p=0.015, I2=0%). CONCLUSIONS ERAS protocols reduce the length of stay, time-to-bowel function, and rate of complications after cystectomy. PATIENT SUMMARY Enhanced recovery after surgery pathways for cystectomy reduce complications and the amount of time patients spend in the hospital.

Abstract
Aim To study the efficacy of the fast-track surgery (FTS) program combined with laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for elderly gastric cancer (GC) patients. Methods Eighty-four elderly patients diagnosed with GC between September 2014 and August 2015 were recruited to participate in this study and were divided into four groups randomly based on the random number table as follows: FTS + laparoscopic group (Group A, n=21), FTS + laparotomy group (Group B, n=21), conventional perioperative care (CC) + laparoscopic group (Group C, n=21), and CC + laparotomy group (Group D, n=21). Observation indicators include intrasurgery indicators, postoperative recovery indicators, nutritional status indicators, and systemic stress response indicators. Results Preoperative and intraoperative baseline characteristics showed no significant differences between patients in each group (P>0.05). There were no significant differences between each group in nausea and vomiting, intestinal obstruction, urinary retention, incision infection, pulmonary infection, and urinary tract infection after operation (P>0.05). Time of first flatus and postoperative hospital stay time of FTS Group A were the shortest, and total medical cost of this group was the lowest. For all groups, serum albumin, prealbumin, and transferrin significantly decreased, while CRP and interleukin 6 were significantly increased postoperative day 1. From postoperative day 4–7, all indicators of the four groups gradually recovered, but compared with other three groups, those of Group A recovered fastest. Conclusion FTS combined with laparoscopic surgery can promote faster postoperative recovery, improve early postoperative nutritional status, and more effectively reduce postoperative stress reaction, and hence is safe and effective for elderly GC patients.

Abstract
CONTEXT Radical cystectomy (RC) is associated with frequent morbidity and prolonged length of stay (LOS) irrespective of surgical approach. Increasing evidence from colorectal surgery indicates that minimally invasive surgery and enhanced recovery programmes (ERPs) can reduce surgical morbidity and LOS. ERPs are now recognised as an important component of surgical management for RC. However, there is comparatively little evidence for ERPs after robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC). Due to the multimodal nature of ERPs, they are not easily validated through randomised controlled trials. OBJECTIVE To provide a European Association of Urology (EAU) Robotic Urology Section (ERUS) policy on ERPs to guide standardised perioperative management of RARC patients. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION The guidance was formulated in four phases: (1) systematic literature review of evidence for ERPs in robotic, laparoscopic, and open RC; (2) an online questionnaire survey formulated and sent to ERUS Scientific Working Group members; (3) achievement of consensus from an expert panel using the Delphi process; and (4) a standardised reporting template to audit compliance and outcome designed and approved by the committee. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Consensus was reached in multiple areas of an ERP for RARC. The key principles include patient education, optimisation of nutrition, RARC approach, standardised anaesthetic, analgesic, and antiemetic regimens, and early mobilisation. CONCLUSIONS This consensus represents the views of an expert panel established to advise ERUS on ERPs for RARC. The ERUS Scientific Working Group recognises the role of ERPs and endorses them as standardised perioperative care for patients undergoing RARC. ERPs in robotic surgery will continue to evolve with technological and pharmaceutical advances and increasing understanding of the role of surgery-specific ERPs. PATIENT SUMMARY There is currently a lack of high-level evidence exploring the benefits of enhanced recovery programmes (ERPs) in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC). We reported a consensus view on a standardised ERP specific to patients undergoing RARC. It was formulated by experts from high-volume RARC hospitals in Europe, combining current evidence for ERPs with experts' knowledge of perioperative care for robotic surgery.
