Abstract
Background: The safety and efficacy of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) following elective gastrectomy for gastric cancer in patients >80 years of age are not well described. The aim of this study was to explore whether an ERAS protocol following gastrectomy in this age group can be safely implemented and reduce postoperative length of stay. Methods: A retrospective, single-center analysis was performed. All patients >80 years of age with gastric cancer undergoing elective subtotal and total gastrectomy between January 2010 and December 2021 were identified. With the implementation of an ERAS protocol in January 2016, patients treated beforehand were allocated to Group A (pre-ERAS) and Group B (ERAS). The length of stay, incidence of postoperative complications and representation/readmission to the hospital were compared between the groups. Results: Of the 221 patients identified, 56 met the inclusion criteria with 22 patients (39.3%) allocated to Group A and 34 patients (60.7%) to Group B. There were no differences with regard to the type of resection and surgical approach. Length of stay was shorter in Group B (5 days, range 2-27 versus 10 days, 3-109, P = .040). A trend toward more discharges by postoperative day 3 was noted among patients in Group B (7/34, 20.6% versus 2/22, 9.1%, P = .253). There were no differences in the incidence of postoperative complications or readmission hospital between the groups. Conclusion: Among patients >80 years of age, ERAS following gastrectomy for cancer is associated with a reduced length of stay and can be safely implemented.

Grip strength is an important predictor for nutritional risk and early postoperative ambulation in gastrointestinal tumors undergoing laparoscopic surgery: a prospective multicenter clinical study. World J Surg Oncol 2023; 21:273. [PMID: 37644549 PMCID: PMC10466861 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-023-03163-x] [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: 06/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Using grip strength as a predictor of nutritional risk and early ambulation for gastrointestinal tumor surgery and determining its critical value have not been reported. This study was designed to explore the influencing factors of early postoperative ambulation ability for patients with gastrointestinal tumors who underwent laparoscopic surgery. METHODS Four-hundred twenty-seven patients with gastrointestinal tumors who underwent laparoscopic surgery at three tertiary A hospitals in Beijing were prospectively enrolled. Subsequently, logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the independent predictors of early postoperative ambulation. Logistic regression analyses for the different gender were also performed. In addition, the effectiveness of preoperative grip strength measurement in nutritional risk assessment was analyzed by using nutritional risk score 2002 (NRS 2002) as a control. RESULTS The included cases were comprised of 283 male and 144 female patients, with an age of 59.35 ± 11.70 years. Gender, preoperative grip strength, operative time, and number of indwelling tubes were independent predictors of early postoperative ambulation. In the male group, lower preoperative grip strength and more indwelling tubes were independent risk factors for early postoperative ambulation. In the female group, lower preoperative grip strength and extended operating time were independent risk factors. Moreover, preoperative grip strength (male < 32 kg, female < 21 kg) can be used as a risk predictor for both preoperative nutritional risk and early postoperative ambulation. CONCLUSIONS As a simple and objective measure of muscle strength, grip strength measurement is expected to be an effective predictor for both early postoperative ambulation ability and nutritional status of patients.

Abstract
Background Enhanced recovery programs (ERPs) improve outcomes, but over 20 % of patients fail ERP and the contribution of social vulnerability is unknown. This study aimed to characterize the association between social vulnerability and ERP adherence and failure. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study of colorectal surgery patients between 2015 and 2020 utilizing ACS-NSQIP data. Patients who failed ERP (LOS > 6 days) were compared to patients not failing ERP. The CDC's social vulnerability index (SVI) was used to assess social vulnerability. Result 273 of 1191 patients (22.9 %) failed ERP. SVI was a significant predictor of ERP failure (OR 4.6, 95 % CI 1.3-16.8) among those with >70 % ERP component adherence. SVI scores were significantly higher among patients non-adherent with 3 key ERP components: preoperative block (0.58 vs. 0.51, p < 0.01), early diet (0.57 vs. 0.52, p = 0.04) and early foley removal (0.55 vs. 0.50, p < 0.01). Conclusions Higher social vulnerability was associated with non-adherence to 3 key ERP components as well as ERP failure among those who were adherent with >70 % of ERP components. Social vulnerability needs to be recognized, addressed, and included in efforts to further improve ERPs. Key message Social vulnerability is associated with non-adherence to enhanced recovery components and ERP failure among those with high ERP adherence. Social vulnerability needs to be addressed in efforts to improve ERPs.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and compliance with the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol in octogenarian patients undergoing colorectal surgery in 12 Italian high-volume centers. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted in a consecutive series of patients who underwent elective colorectal surgery between 2016 and 2018. Patients were grouped by age (≥ 80 years vs < 80 years), propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed, and the groups were compared regarding clinical outcomes and the mean number of ERAS items applied. RESULTS Out of 1646 patients identified, 310 were octogenarians. PSM identified 2 cohorts of 125 patients for the comparison of postoperative outcomes and ERAS compliance. The 2 groups were homogeneous regarding the clinical variables and mean number of ERAS items applied (11.3 vs 11.9, p-ns); however, the application of intraoperative items was greater in nonelderly patients (p 0.004). The functional recovery was similar between the two groups, as were the rates of postoperative severe complications and 30-day mortality rate. Elderly patients had more overall complications. Furthermore, the mean hospital stay was higher in the elderly group (p 0.027). Multivariable analyses documented that postoperative stay was inversely correlated with the number of ERAS items applied (p < 0.0001), whereas age ≥ 80 years significantly correlated with the overall complication rate (p 0.0419). CONCLUSION The ERAS protocol is safe in octogenarian patients, with similar levels of compliance and surgical outcomes. However, octogenarian patients have a higher rate of overall complications and a longer hospital stay than do younger patients.

Abstract
Background: Although enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been proven to be beneficial after laparoscopic colorectal surgery, some of the patients may fail to complete the ERAS program during hospitalization. This prospective study aims to evaluate the risk factors associated with ERAS failure after laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. Methods: This is a prospective study from a single tertiary referral hospital. Patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study. Demographic and clinicopathological characteristics were collected. Post-operative activity time and 6-min walking distance (6MWD) were measured. Patients were divided into ERAS failure group and ERAS success according to decreased post-operative activity and 6MWD. Factors associated with ERAS failure were investigated by univariate and multivariate analysis. Results: A total of 91 patients with colorectal cancer were included. The incidence of ERAS failure is 28.6% among all patients. Patients in ERAS failure group experienced higher rate of post-operative ileus and prolonged hospital stay (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that older age (p = 0.006), body mass index ≥25.5 kg/m2 (p = 0.037), smoking (p = 0.002), operative time (p = 0.048), and post-operative energy intake <18.5 kcal/kg•d (p = 0.045) were independent risk factors of ERAS failure after laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Conclusions: Our findings indicated that a proportion of patients may fail the ERAS program after laparoscopic colorectal surgery. We for the first time showed that post-operative energy intake was an independent risk factor for ERAS failure. This may provide evidence for further investigation on precise measurement of nutritional status and selected high-risk patients for enhanced nutrition support.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways have an uncertain role in emergencies. To the best of our knowledge, there are no trials studying ERAS in perforation peritonitis across the GI tract, despite it being a common surgical emergency. AIMS To evaluate the safety, feasibility and efficacy of adapted ERAS protocols in emergency laparotomy for perforation peritonitis. METHODS This was an open-labeled, superiority randomized controlled trial conducted between October 2018 and June 2020 in patients with perforation peritonitis assigned to standard care or adapted ERAS groups using block randomization. Patients with refractory shock, ASA class 4E, localized peritonitis, etc. were excluded. Components of the adapted ERAS protocol included epidural analgesia, goal-directed fluid therapy, avoidance of opioids, early mobilization, early removal of tubes, drains and catheters, and early enteral feeding. The primary outcome, length of hospitalization (LOH), and the secondary outcomes, functional recovery parameters, were analyzed between both the groups. RESULTS A total of 59 patients in standard care group and 61 patients in adapted ERAS group were included and randomized, and were comparable in terms of demographic and clinico-pathological characteristics. LOH in adapted ERAS group was shorter by 3 days (p < 0.001), and patients showed reduction in time (days) to first flatus (2.84 vs 4.22, p < 0.001), first stool (4.38 vs 6.08, p < 0.001) and solid diet (4.67 vs 8.37, p < 0.001). Post-operative nausea, vomiting (p = 0.05) and surgical site infections (p < 0.001) were reduced in adapted ERAS group. Pre-existing malignancy, respiratory complications and high output stoma were reasons for delayed discharge in adapted ERAS group. CONCLUSION Adapted ERAS pathways considerably reduce LOH in patients undergoing emergency surgery for perforation peritonitis, with no adverse events in 30 days after discharge.

Abstract
Chyle leakage can be caused by abdominal surgery and managed successfully without surgical treatment; however, no preventive measures are available. Therefore, we introduce a new method to prevent post-operative chyle leakage. To investigate the role of indocyanine green (ICG) lymphangiography in the reduction of chyle fistula formation after radical resection of right colon cancer. Five patients with a diagnosis of right colon cancer undergoing laparoscopic radical colectomy with D3 lymph node dissection were examined in this study. At the end of the operation, two points of 2.5 mg ICG were injected subserosally at the proximal end of the anastomosis (1 ml per point). Then the surgical field was screened by using ICG fluorescence to accurately locate the chyle leakage. Chyle leakage was noted and repaired with a Hem-O-Lock. The volume of output of each drain after surgery was measured daily until the patients were discharged. We were able to observe ICG fluorescence in the lymphatic vessels within 3 minutes of ICG injection. This visualization allowed us to accurately locate and quickly repair chyle leakage within 5 minutes. Clinical observation after surgery and at a 1-month follow-up showed no chyle leakage in all 5 patients. Indocyanine green lymphangiography can feasibly guide the location and repair of chyle leakage after right colon cancer resection.

Abstract
Background Esophageal cancer (EC) with a high incidence of malnutrition is a highly malignant digestive tract tumor. We investigated the effect of enteral nutrition (EN) support combined with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) on the nutritional status, immune function, and prognosis of patients with EC after Ivor-Lewis operation. Methods One hundred patients were randomly divided into the observation group (n=42) and the control group (n=58). The patients in observation group were treated with EN combined with ERAS intervention after Ivor-Lewis operation, and the patients in control group were treated with conventional postoperative EN intervention. The situation of operation, nutritional status, immune function recovery and prognosis between the two groups were compared. Results There was no statistically significant difference in operation time or intraoperative blood loss between the two groups (P>0.05). The chest tube removal time and oral feeding time of the observation group after operation were shorter than those of the control group (P<0.05). After intervention, serum albumin (ALB), transferrin (TF), pre-albumin (PA) and hemoglobin (Hb) levels in both groups were significantly decreased. These indexes were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant changes in the levels of immunoglobulin (Ig) A, IgG, and IgM, or the numbers of CD3+, CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ T cells in the observation group before and after intervention (P>0.05); however those indexes were significantly decreased in the control group after the intervention (P<0.05). Interestingly, the levels of IgA, IgM, IgG, CD3+ T cells, CD4+ T cells and CD4+/CD8+ T cells in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group after intervention (P<0.05). The incidence of pulmonary infection in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group. The postoperative exhaust time, postoperative defecation time and postoperative hospital stay were shorter in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in hospitalization cost between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions EN combined with ERAS was more beneficial to the improvement of nutritional status and immune function recovery of patients with EC after Ivor-Lewis operation. It also shortened the length of hospital stay.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Enhanced recovery after bariatric surgery (ERABS) protocols consist of a combination of several preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative methods for the management of the surgical patient. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the ERABS protocol on length of hospital stay (LOS) and postoperative complications. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective study of patients who underwent elective Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) between 2015 and 2018. From 2015 to 2017, patients received traditional management (pre-ERABS group). Those who underwent surgery during 2018 were managed with our ERABS protocol (ERABS group). The primary outcome was LOS. Secondary outcomes were readmission rate and 30-day postoperative complications. RESULTS A total of 200 patients who received RYGB and SG between 2015 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed; we included 120 patients in the pre-ERABS group and 80 in the ERABS group. The median LOS was four days [2-49] in the pre-ERABS group, as compared with two days [1-26] in the ERABS group (p < .0001). No significant differences were found in postoperative complication rates, readmissions, and mortality. CONCLUSION Implementation of the ERABS protocol is related to a better postoperative recovery and allows an early discharge without increasing postoperative complications, readmissions or mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE Enhanced recovery after surgery programs has been applied extensively in laparoscopic colorectal surgery. However, several studies have found that some patients fail from ERAS programs. It is important to identify these patients so that remedial action can be taken in a timely manner. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review of ERAS failure and related risk factors following laparoscopic colorectal surgery. METHODS A literature search of the PubMed, EMBASE, OVID, and Cochrane databases was performed. The search strategy involved terms related to ERAS, failure, and colorectal surgery. The main outcomes were definitions of ERAS failure and related risk factors. RESULTS Seven studies including 1463 patients were analyzed. The definition of ERAS failure was mostly associated with a prolonged postoperative length-of-stay (poLOS). Twenty-four kinds of identified risk factors were divided into three parts, the operative part, the pathophysiological part, and the ERAS elements, of which operative factors including more intraoperative blood loss and longer operative duration were the most frequently identified. CONCLUSIONS ERAS failure was mostly related to a prolonged poLOS, and operative factors were the most frequently identified risk factors for ERAS failure following laparoscopic colorectal surgery. These findings will help physicians to take remedial action in a timely manner. Nonetheless, high-quality randomized controlled trials following a standardized framework for evaluating ERAS programs are needed in the future.
