The efficacy and safety of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) Program in laparoscopic distal gastrectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Ann Med 2024; 56:2306194. [PMID: 38279689 PMCID: PMC10823895 DOI: 10.1080/07853890.2024.2306194] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although ERAS Program had some advantages in laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG), its efficacy and safety remained unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of the ERAS group and the traditional care (TC) group in LDG. METHODS Multiple databases were retrieved from 1 January 2000 to 30 April 2023. The risk ratio (RR), standardized mean difference (SMD) and their 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to estimate the results. RESULTS Our meta-analysis contained 17 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) studies, which comprised 1468 patients. Regarding efficacy, the ERAS group had significantly shorter postoperative time to first flatus (SMD = -1.29 [95% CI: -1.68, -0.90]), shorter time to first defecation (SMD = -1.26 [95% CI: -1.90, -0.61]), shorter hospital stays (SMD = -0.99 [95% CI: -1.34, -0.63]), and lower hospitalization costs (SMD = -1.17 [95% CI: -1.86, -0.48]) compared to the TC group. Furthermore, in the ERAS group, C-reactive protein levels were lower on postoperative days 1, 3 or 4, and 7; albumin levels were higher on postoperative days 3 or 4 and 7; and interleukin-6 levels were lower on postoperative days 1 and 3. Regarding safety, the overall postoperative complication rate was lower in the ERAS group (RR: 0.76 [95% CI: 0.60, 0.97]), but there was no significant difference in the individual postoperative complication rate. Other indicators were also not statistically significant. CONCLUSION The combination of ERAS Program with laparoscopy surgery was safe and effective for the perioperative management of patients with distal gastric cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing pelvic exenteration for gynecologic malignancies before and after implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols. METHODS We performed an institutional retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing pelvic exenteration for gynecologic malignancies before (1/1/2006-12/30/2014) and after (1/1/2015-6/30/2023) ERAS implementation. We described ERAS compliance rates. We compared outcomes up to 60 days post-exenteration. Complication grades were defined by the Clavien-Dindo system. RESULTS Overall, 105 women underwent pelvic exenteration; 74 (70.4%) in the pre-ERAS and 31 (29.5%) in the ERAS cohorts. There were no differences between cohorts in age, body mass index, race, primary disease site, type of exenteration, urinary diversion, or vaginal reconstruction. All patients had complications, with at least one grade II+ complication in 94.6% of pre-ERAS and 90.3% of ERAS patients. The ERAS cohort had more grade I-II gastrointestinal (61.3% vs 21.6%, p < 0.001) and hematologic (61.3% vs 36.5%, p = 0.030) and grade III-IV renal (29.0% vs 12.2%, p = 0.048) and wound (45.2% vs 18.9%, p = 0.008) complications compared to the pre-ERAS cohort. ERAS patients had a higher rate of ileus (38.7% vs 10.8%, p = 0.002), urinary leak (22.6% vs 5.4%, p = 0.014), pelvic abscess (35.5% vs 10.8%, p = 0.005), postoperative bleeding requiring intervention (61.3% vs 28.4%, p = 0.002), and readmission (71.4% vs 46.5%, p = 0.025). Median ERAS compliance was 60%. CONCLUSIONS Pelvic exenteration remains a morbid procedure, and complications were more common in ERAS compared to pre-ERAS cohorts. ERAS protocols should be optimized and tailored to the complexity of pelvic exenteration compared to standard gynecologic oncology ERAS pathways.

Abstract
Objective Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways have demonstrated improvements in outcomes following benign gynecologic and gynecologic oncology surgery. However, there is limited data reporting the benefit of ERAS from the patient's perspective. This study aimed to explore patient knowledge of and experience with ERAS-guided surgery. Methods This interpretive descriptive study included participants who had undergone ERAS-guided gynecologic and gynecologic oncology surgery in Alberta, Canada using convenience sampling. Semi-structured interviews explored patient knowledge of ERAS, overall experience with surgery and recommended changes for surgical care. An inductive thematic analysis was conducted. Results Eight females aged 26-76 years old participated in the study who had gynecologic (n = 4) and gynecologic oncology (n = 4) surgery. Six themes central to participant experience of ERAS-guided surgery were identified: patient expectations, individual motivation, values and support, healthcare provider communication, trust in healthcare providers, COVID-19 and care co-ordination. Overall, specific knowledge of ERAS was low. Expectations were set by previous experience of healthcare (previous surgery or occupation), as well as information provided by healthcare professionals. Participants whose expectations aligned with physical experience of ERAS provided favourable perspectives. Participants recommended improving the quality, relevance and availability of information and establishing accessible follow up strategies. Conclusion Based on the finding that knowledge about ERAS was minimal, we advocate for improved education pertaining to ERAS recommendations. Acknowledging patients' expertise and motivation to engage in their care maybe one strategy to improve compliance with ERAS guidelines and improve outcomes for both patients and the healthcare system.

Perioperative liberal drinking management promotes postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery after gynecological laparoscopic surgery: A randomized controlled trial. J Clin Anesth 2024; 97:111539. [PMID: 38945059 DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinane.2024.111539] [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: 03/17/2024] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the effect of perioperative liberal drinking management, including preoperative carbohydrate loading (PCL) given 2 h before surgery and early oral feeding (EOF) at 6 h postoperatively, in enhancing postoperative gastrointestinal function and improving outcomes in gynecologic patients. The hypotheses are that the perioperative liberal drinking management accelerates the recovery of gastrointestinal function, enhances dietary tolerance throughout hospitalization, and ultimately reduces the length of hospitalization. DESIGN A prospective randomized controlled trial. SETTING Operating room and gynecological ward in Wuhan Union Hospital. PATIENTS We enrolled 210 patients undergoing elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery, and 157 patients were included in the final analysis. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomly allocated in a 1:1:1 ratio into three groups, including the control, PCL, and PCL-EOF groups. The anesthetists and follow-up staff were blinded to group assignment. MEASUREMENTS The primary outcome was the postoperative Intake, Feeling nauseated, Emesis, Examination, and Duration of symptoms (I-FEED) score (range 0 to 14, higher scores worse). Secondary outcomes included the incidence of I-FEED scores >2, and other additional indicators to monitor postoperative gastrointestinal function, including time to first flatus, time to first defecation, time to feces Bristol grade 3-4, and time to tolerate diet. Additionally, we collected other ERAS recovery indicators, including the incidence of PONV, complications, postoperative pain score, satisfaction score, and the quality of postoperative functional recovery at discharge. MAIN RESULTS The PCL-EOF exhibited significantly enhanced gastrointestinal function recovery compared to control group and PCL group (p < 0.05), with the lower I-FEED score (PCL: 0[0,1] vs. PCL-EOF: 0[0,0] vs. control: 1[0,2]) and the reduced incidence of I-FEED >2 (PCL:8% vs. PCL-EOF: 2% vs. control:21%). Compared to the control, the intervention of PCL-EOF protected patients from the incidence of I-FEED score > 2 [HR:0.09, 95%CI (0.01-0.72), p = 0.023], and was beneficial in promoting the patient's postoperative first flatus [PCL-EOF: HR:3.33, 95%CI (2.14-5.19),p < 0.001], first defecation [PCL-EOF: HR:2.76, 95%CI (1.83-4.16), p < 0.001], Bristol feces grade 3-4 [PCL-EOF: HR:3.65, 95%CI (2.36-5.63), p < 0.001], first fluid diet[PCL-EOF: HR:2.76, 95%CI (1.83-4.16), p < 0.001], and first normal diet[PCL-EOF: HR:6.63, 95%CI (4.18-10.50), p < 0.001]. Also, the length of postoperative hospital stay (PCL-EOF: 5d vs. PCL: 6d and control: 6d, p < 0.001), the total cost (PCL-EOF: 25052 ± 3650y vs. PCL: 27914 ± 4684y and control: 26799 ± 4775y, p = 0.005), and postoperative VAS pain score values [POD0 (PCL-EOF: 2 vs. control: 4 vs. PCL: 4, p < 0.001), POD1 (PCL-EOF: 1 vs. control: 3 vs. PCL: 2, p < 0.001), POD2 (PCL-EOF: 1 vs. control:2 vs. PCL: 1, p < 0.001), POD3 (PCL-EOF: 0 vs. control: 1 vs. PCL: 1, p < 0.001)] were significantly reduced in PCL-EOF group. CONCLUSIONS Our primary endpoint, I-FEED score demonstrated significant reduction with perioperative liberal drinking, serving as a protective intervention against I-FEED>2. Gastrointestinal recovery metrics, such as time to first flatus and defecation, also showed substantial improvements. Furthermore, the intervention enhanced postoperative dietary tolerance and expedited early recovery. TRIAL REGISTRATION ChiCTR2300071047(https://www.chictr.org.cn/).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many individuals undergoing surgery involving general anesthesia are asked to fast for a prolonged period to ensure perioperative safety, yet this can initiate stress reactions and insulin resistance, harming postoperative recovery. Such fasting may be particularly problematic for those who have type 2 diabetes. Here, we assessed how giving such individuals' oral carbohydrates before total knee arthroplasty can affect outcomes. METHODS We randomized 90 patients who had non-insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes mellitus who were scheduled for elective total knee arthroplasty at one medical center between April 2022 and January 2023 to receive oral carbohydrates at two or four hours before surgery or to receive a carbohydrate-free "placebo" drink at four hours before surgery. The three groups were compared in terms of postoperative blood glucose, insulin resistance, β cell activity, postoperative wound complications, and other clinical outcomes. RESULTS The group who received oral carbohydrates at two or four hours before surgery showed significantly lower insulin resistance than the placebo group (group at two hours, 9.0 ± 3.4; group at four hours, 15.8 ± 6.9 versus placebo, 30.9 ± 10.5, P < 0.001) and lower β cell activity (207.7 ± 106.7%; group at four hours, 243.2 ± 114.9% versus 421.5 ± 209.3%, P < 0.001). Those groups were also significantly less likely than the placebo group to experience preoperative hunger or postoperative hyperglycemia. Among patients who received oral carbohydrates, those who received them two hours before surgery showed significantly lower insulin resistance and better glycemic control on postoperative day 1 than those who received carbohydrates four hours before surgery. None of the subjects developed intraoperative aspiration or experienced severe postoperative complications. CONCLUSION Oral carbohydrates at two to four hours before total knee arthroplasty are safe and can significantly alleviate preoperative hunger while mitigating postoperative insulin resistance and improving glycemic control in patients who have non-insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes mellitus.

J Clin Med 2024; 13:5431. [PMID: 39336918 PMCID: PMC11432659 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13185431] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2024] [Revised: 08/28/2024] [Accepted: 09/10/2024] [Indexed: 09/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective: We aimed to investigate the impact of multimodal analgesia on postoperative complications and opioid prescription on a national level. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included n = 1,307,923 hysterectomies (01/2006-12/2022, Premier Healthcare claims data). Multimodal analgesia was defined as opioid use with the addition of non-opioid analgesic modes, grouped into four categories: opioid-only and 1, 2, or 3 or more additional non-opioid analgesics. Multivariable regression models measured associations between multimodal categories and outcomes (composite/respiratory/cardiac/gastrointestinal/genitourinary, and CNS complications, oral morphine milligram equivalents [MME], and length of hospital stay [LOS]). Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) are reported. Results: Overall, 84.3% (1,102,812/1,307,923) received multimodal analgesia, of which 58.9%, 28.0%, and 13.1% received 1, 2, or 3 or more additional non-opioid analgesics, respectively. The odds of any composite complication (any ≥1 complication) decreased with the addition of 1, 2, 3, or more analgesic modalities (versus opioid-only): OR 0.66 (CI 0.64; 0.68), OR 0.63 (CI 0.61; 0.66), OR 0.65 (CI 0.62; 0.67), respectively. Similar patterns existed for respiratory, cardiac, and genitourinary complications. Opioid prescription decreased incrementally with 1,2, 3, or more non-opioid analgesic modalities by 9.51 mg (CI 11.16; 7.86) and 15.29 mg (CI 17.21; 13.37) and 29.35 mg (CI 31.79; 26.91) cumulative MME. LOS was reduced by 0.52 days (CI 0.54; 0.51), 0.49 days (CI 0.51; 0.47), and 0.40 days (CI 0.43; 0.38), respectively. Costs were reduced by $765 (CI 817; 714) or $479 (CI 539; 419) with 1 or 2 multimodal modes. Conclusions: These findings suggest substantial benefits of multimodal analgesia, including significant decreases in serious complications (especially respiratory, cardiac, and genitourinary), opioid consumption, and hospitalizations. Multimodal analgesia may facilitate safe and efficient pain management with optimized opioid consumption.

Abstract
Introduction Early oral feeding (EOF) has been shown to improve postoperative recovery for many surgeries. However, surgeons are still skeptical about EOF after gastric cancer surgery due to possible side effects. This updated systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of EOF in patients after gastric cancer surgery. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating EOF in patients after gastric cancer surgery were searched in the databases of PubMed, Embase, Clinicaltrials.gov, and Cochrane from 2005 to 2023, and an updated meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results The results of 11 RCTs involving 1,352 patients were included and scrutinized in this analysis. Hospital days [weighted mean difference (WMD), -1.72; 95% confidence interval (CI), -2.14 to -1.30; p<0.00001), the time to first flatus (WMD, -0.72; 95% CI, -0.99 to -0.46; p<0.00001), and hospital costs (WMD, -3.78; 95% CI, -4.50 to -3.05; p<0.00001) were significantly decreased in the EOF group. Oral feeding tolerance [risk ratio (RR), 1.00; 95% CI, 0.95-1.04; p=0.85), readmission rates (RR, 1.28; 95% CI, 0.50-3.28; p=0.61), postoperative complications (RR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.81-1.29; p=0.84), anastomotic leakage (RR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.25-2.78; p=0.76), and pulmonary infection (RR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.31-1.39; p=0.27) were not significantly statistical between two groups. Conclusion This meta-analysis reveals that EOF could reduce hospital days, the time to first flatus, and hospital costs, but it was not associated with oral feeding tolerance, readmission rates, or postoperative complications especially anastomotic leakage and pulmonary infection, regardless of whether laparoscopic or open surgery, partial or total gastrectomy, or the timing of EOF initiation.

Abstract
Surgical site infection rates are among 5-35% in all gynecologic oncology procedures. Such infections lead to increased patient morbidity, reduction in quality of life, higher likelihood of readmissions, and reinterventions, which contribute directly to mortality and increase in health-related costs. Some of these are potentially preventable by applying evidence-based strategies in the peri-operative patient setting. The objective of this review is to provide recommendations for the individual components that most commonly comprise the surgical site infection prevention bundles that could be implemented in gynecologic oncology procedures. We searched articles from relevant publications with specific topics related to each surgical site infection intervention chosen to be reviewed. Studies on each topic were selected with an emphasis on meta-analyses, systematic reviews, randomized control studies, non-randomized controlled studies, reviews, clinical practice guidelines, and case series. Data synthesis was done through content and thematic analysis to identify key themes in the included studies. This review intends to serve as the most up-to-date frame of evidence-based peri-operative care in our specialty and could serve as the first initiative to introduce an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine which locoregional techniques are effective in managing post-operative pain in major open oncologic gynecologic surgery in terms of pain scores and opioid consumption when epidural analgesia is not a feasible option. METHODS A systematic review of the literature, based on the Preferred Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, was conducted. The ROB-2 assessment was used to assess bias. The primary outcomes were opioid consumption and post-operative pain scores. Secondary outcomes included post-operative markers such as time to mobilization and bowel movement. RESULTS A total of nine studies (n=714) were included in the analysis. Eight studies had a low risk of bias. Five different forms of locoregional analgesia were described. Eight studies compared with placebo and one study compared rectus sheath block with epidural analgesia. Three of the five studies investigating transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks showed an improvement in pain scores and opioid consumption when compared with the placebo group. One study investigating rectus sheath blocks and another investigating paravertebral blocks demonstrated significantly less opioid consumption and improved pain scores at certain time points. The studies investigating continuous wound infiltration and superior hypogastric plexus block found no significant effect. No adverse effects of locoregional anesthesia were found. CONCLUSION Our study showed that TAP blocks, rectus sheath blocks, and paravertebral blocks may decrease opioid consumption and improve pain scores in patients undergoing open abdominal surgery for gynecologic cancer. Additionally, these techniques might serve as a viable alternative for patients with contraindications to epidural analgesia.

Abstract
Importance Neonates requiring surgery are often cared for in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Despite a breadth of surgical pathology, neonates share many perioperative priorities that allow for the development of unit-wide evidence-based Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) recommendations. Observations The guideline development committee included pediatric surgeons, anesthesiologists, neonatal nurses, and neonatologists in addition to ERAS content and methodology experts. The patient population was defined as neonates (first 28 days of life) undergoing a major noncardiac surgical intervention while admitted to a NICU. After the first round of a modified Delphi technique, 42 topics for potential inclusion were developed. There was consensus to develop a search strategy and working group for 21 topic areas. A total of 5763 abstracts were screened, of which 98 full-text articles, ranging from low to high quality, were included. A total of 16 recommendations in 11 topic areas were developed with a separate working group commissioned for analgesia-related recommendations. Topics included team communication, preoperative fasting, temperature regulation, antibiotic prophylaxis, surgical site skin preparation, perioperative ventilation, fluid management, perioperative glucose control, transfusion thresholds, enteral feeds, and parental care encouragement. Although clinically relevant, there were insufficient data to develop recommendations concerning the use of nasogastric tubes, Foley catheters, and central lines. Conclusions and Relevance Despite varied pathology, neonatal perioperative care within NICUs allows for unit-based ERAS recommendations independent of the planned surgical procedure. The 16 recommendations within this ERAS guideline are intended to be implemented within NICUs to benefit all surgical neonates.

A systematic review and Meta-analysis. Gynecol Oncol 2024; 188:27-34. [PMID: 38901080 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2024.06.006] [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: 04/17/2024] [Revised: 06/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Given the low incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in endometrial cancer patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery, coupled with the existing uncertainties within guidelines regarding pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis in this area, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive literature review. This review aims to evaluate the necessity of pharmacologic VTE prophylaxis in these patients. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, and ClinicalTrials.gov were systematically searched from inception to March 10, 2024. The analysis was performed using R version 4.2.3. RESULTS Seven studies involving 3931 endometrial cancer patients were included in the analysis. Meta-analysis results revealed that within 30 days postoperatively, the incidence of VTE was 0.51% (5 out of 990) in the pharmacologic prophylaxis group and 0.70% (7 out of 995) in the mechanical prophylaxis group, with a relative risk (RR) of 1.14 (95% CI 0.19-6.95), indicating no significant difference between the groups. Additionally, within the same timeframe, the incidence of VTE was 0.37% (4 out of 1083) in the extended pharmacologic prophylaxis group and 1.14% (4 out of 352) in the non-extended pharmacologic prophylaxis group, yielding an RR of 0.41 (95% CI 0.11-1.54), again showing no significant difference between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates that routine pharmacological VTE prophylaxis may not be imperative for endometrial cancer patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery, as mechanical prophylaxis alone seems to be efficacious. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that a subset of high-risk patients may derive benefit from pharmacological prophylaxis or even extended regimens. Nonetheless, the absence of a validated risk prediction model for identifying such patients underscores the need for further research in this area. PROTOCOL REGISTRATION CRD 42024516595.

Abstract
We convened a group of cardiac surgeons, intensivists, and anesthesiologists with extensive experience in minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) and perioperative care to identify the essential elements of a MICS program and the relationship with Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS). The MICS incision should minimize tissue invasion without compromising surgical goals. MICS also requires safe management of hemodynamics and preservation of cardiac function, which we have termed myocardial management. Finally, comprehensive perioperative care through an ERAS program should be provided to allow patients to achieve optimal recovery. Therefore, we propose that MICS requires 3 elements: (1) a less invasive surgical incision (non-full sternotomy), (2) optimized myocardial management, and (3) ERAS. We contend that the full benefit of MICS can be achieved only by also utilizing an ERAS platform.

Gamified Mobile App (MobERAS) for Telemonitoring Patients in the Postoperative Period Based on the Enhanced Recovery after Surgery Program: Development and Validation Study. JMIR Perioper Med 2024; 7:e56033. [PMID: 39141909 PMCID: PMC11358650 DOI: 10.2196/56033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Digital technology and gamified apps can be useful in the health care context. Gamification uses technology to influence users' actions and motivations through experiences that resemble games. Patient adherence to the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program is crucial for achieving early recovery after surgery and continuous monitoring is essential for obtaining good results. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to describe the development and validation of a mobile app for enhanced recovery after surgery (MobERAS), a gamified mobile health app for telemonitoring patients in the postoperative period based on the ERAS program, and to evaluate its functionality and usability and the experience of patients, health care professionals, and computer professionals with its use. METHODS We developed MobERAS for postoperative telemonitoring, with active participation of patients in the process, and offering availability of real-time information for the health team. The app development process included idealization, interdisciplinary team formation, potential needs assessment, and product deployment. Usability tests were conducted throughout the development process with improvements, technical adjustments, and updates. After finalization, comprehensive verification tests were performed. The parameters evaluated are those that can influence the length of hospital stay, such as nausea, vomiting, pain scales, return to normal gastrointestinal function, and thromboembolic events. MobERAS was designed to be downloaded by users on their phones, tablets, or other mobile devices and to provide postoperative data. The app has a GPS that monitors the patient's walking time and distance and is connected to a virtual database that stores the collected data. RESULTS Women undergoing medium and major gynecologic oncologic surgeries were included. We included 65 patients with an average age of 53.2 (SD 7.4, range 18-85) years. The time of use ranged from 23.4 to 70 hours (mean 45.1, SD 19.2 hours). Regarding adherence to the use of MobERAS, the mean fill rate was 56.3% (SD 12.1%, range 41.7%-100%), and ambulation data were obtained for 60 (92.3%) of the 65 patients. The researcher had access to the data filled out by the patients in real time. There was good acceptance of the use of MobERAS by the patients, with good evaluation of the app's usability. MobERAS was easy to use and considered attractive because of its gamified design. The app was rated as good or very good in all items by health care professionals (n=20) and professionals specializing in technological innovation (n=10). CONCLUSIONS MobERAS is easy to use, safe, well accepted by patients, and well evaluated by experts. It can be of great use in clinical surgical practice and an important tool for greater engagement of patients and health care professionals with the ERAS program.

Postoperative oral intake is traditionally withheld after major abdominal gynaecologic surgery until the return of bowel function. The concern is that early oral intake will result in vomiting and severe paralytic ileus, with subsequent aspiration pneumonia, wound dehiscence, and anastomotic leakage. However, clinical studies suggest that there may be benefits from early postoperative oral intake. Currently, gynaecologic surgery can be performed through various routes: open abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic, robotic, or a combination. In this version, we included women undergoing major gynaecologic surgery through all of these routes, either alone or in combination. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of early versus delayed (traditional) initiation of oral intake of food and fluids after major gynaecologic surgery. SEARCH METHODS On 13 June 2023, we searched the Cochrane Gynaecology and Fertility Group's Specialised Register, CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, the citation lists of relevant publications, and two trial registries. We also contacted experts in the field for any additional studies. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the effect of early versus delayed initiation of oral intake of food and fluids after major gynaecologic surgery, performed by abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches. Early feeding was defined as oral intake of fluids or food within 24 hours post-surgery, regardless of the return of bowel function. Delayed feeding was defined as oral intake after 24 hours post-surgery, and only after signs of postoperative ileus resolution. Primary outcomes were: postoperative ileus, nausea, vomiting, cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, abdominal distension, need for postoperative nasogastric tube, time to the presence of bowel sounds, time to the first passage of flatus, time to the first passage of stool, time to the start of a regular diet, and length of postoperative hospital stay. Secondary outcomes were: infectious complications, wound complications, deep venous thrombosis, urinary tract infection, pneumonia, satisfaction, and quality of life. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently selected studies, assessed the risk of bias, and extracted the data. We calculated the risk ratio (RR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) for dichotomous data. We examined continuous data using the mean difference (MD) and a 95% CI. We tested for heterogeneity between the results of different studies using a forest plot of the meta-analysis, the statistical tests of homogeneity of 2 x 2 tables, and the I² value. We assessed the certainty of the evidence using GRADE methods. MAIN RESULTS We included seven randomised controlled trials (RCTs), randomising 902 women. We are uncertain whether early feeding compared to delayed feeding has an effect on postoperative ileus (RR 0.49, 95% CI 0.21 to 1.16; I² = 0%; 4 studies, 418 women; low-certainty evidence). We are uncertain whether early feeding affects nausea or vomiting, or both (RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.66 to 1.33; I² = 67%; random-effects model; 6 studies, 742 women; very low-certainty evidence); nausea (RR 1.24, 95% CI 0.51 to 3.03; I² = 74%; 3 studies, 453 women; low-certainty evidence); vomiting (RR 0.83, 95% CI 0.52 to 1.32; I² = 0%; 4 studies, 559 women; low-certainty evidence), abdominal distension (RR 0.99, 95% CI 0.75 to 1.31; I² = 0%; 4 studies, 559 women; low-certainty evidence); need for postoperative nasogastric tube placement (RR 0.46, 95% CI 0.14 to 1.55; 3 studies, 453 women; low-certainty evidence); or time to the presence of bowel sounds (MD -0.20 days, 95% CI -0.46 to 0.06; I² = 71%; random-effects model; 3 studies, 477 women; low-certainty evidence). There is probably no difference between the two feeding protocols for the onset of flatus (MD -0.11 days, 95% CI -0.23 to 0.02; I² = 9%; 5 studies, 702 women; moderate-certainty evidence). Early feeding probably results in a slight reduction in the time to the first passage of stool (MD -0.18 days, 95% CI -0.33 to -0.04; I² = 0%; 4 studies, 507 women; moderate-certainty evidence), and may lead to a slightly sooner resumption of a solid diet (MD -1.10 days, 95% CI -1.79 to -0.41; I² = 97%; random-effects model; 3 studies, 420 women; low-certainty evidence). Hospital stay may be slightly shorter in the early feeding group (MD -0.66 days, 95% CI -1.17 to -0.15; I² = 77%; random-effects model; 5 studies, 603 women; low-certainty evidence). The effect of the two feeding protocols on febrile morbidity is uncertain (RR 0.96, 95% CI 0.75 to 1.22; I² = 47%; 3 studies, 453 women; low-certainty evidence). However, infectious complications are probably less common in women with early feeding (RR 0.20, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.73; I² = 0%; 2 studies, 183 women; moderate-certainty evidence). There may be no difference between the two feeding protocols for wound complications (RR 0.82, 95% CI 0.50 to 1.35; I² = 0%; 4 studies, 474 women; low-certainty evidence), or pneumonia (RR 0.35, 95% CI 0.07 to 1.73; I² = 0%; 3 studies, 434 women; low-certainty evidence). Two studies measured participant satisfaction and quality of life. One study found satisfaction was probably higher in the early feeding group, while the other study found no difference. Neither study found a significant difference between the groups for quality of life (P > 0.05). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Despite some uncertainty, there is no evidence to indicate harmful effects of early feeding following major gynaecologic surgery, measured as postoperative ileus, nausea, vomiting, or abdominal distension. The potential benefits of early feeding include a slightly faster initiation of bowel movements, a slightly sooner resumption of a solid diet, a slightly shorter hospital stay, a lower rate of infectious complications, and a higher level of satisfaction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways utilize multimodal analgesia. In pathways already utilizing incisional injection of liposomal bupivacaine (ILB), we assessed the benefit of adding intrathecal opioid analgesia (ITA). METHODS In this randomized controlled non-inferiority trial in patients undergoing laparotomy for gynecologic malignancy, we allocated patients 1:1 to ILB alone versus ITA + ILB with 150 μg intrathecal hydromorphone. The primary endpoint was the Overall Benefit of Analgesia Score (OBAS) at 24 h following surgery. Secondary endpoints included pain scores, intravenous opioid use, and cost of care. RESULTS Demographic and surgical factors were balanced for 105 patients. For the primary endpoint, ILB alone was non-inferior to ITA + ILB (median OBAS at 24 h of 4 vs 4; p = 0.70). We observed a significant reduction in the need for intravenous opioids (26% vs 71%; p < 0.001) and total opioid requirements (median 7.5 vs 39.3 mg morphine equivalents, p < 0.001) in the first 24 h. Clinically relevant improvements in pain scores were identified in the first 16 h after surgery favoring ITA + ILB. Total cost of the index episode, pharmacy costs, and costs at 30 days were not statistically different. CONCLUSIONS Using OBAS as the primary endpoint, ILB alone was non-inferior to ITA + ILB. However, important cost-neutral benefits for ITA + ILB in the first 24 h post-operatively included lower pain scores and reduced need for intravenous opioids. These early, incremental benefits of adding ITA to ERAS bundles already utilizing ILB should be considered to optimize immediate post-operative pain.

Abstract
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multimodal perioperative management concept, but there is no article to comprehensively review the collaboration and impact of countries, institutions, authors, journals, references, and keywords on ERAS from a bibliometric perspective. This study assessed the evolution of clustering of knowledge structures and identified hot trends and emerging topics. Articles and reviews related to ERAS were retrieved through subject search from the Web of Science Core Collection. We used the following strategy: "TS = Enhanced recovery after surgery" OR "Enhanced Postsurgical Recovery" OR "Postsurgical Recoveries, Enhanced" OR "Postsurgical Recovery, Enhanced" OR "Recovery, Enhanced Postsurgical" OR "Fast track surgery" OR "improve surgical outcome". Bibliometric analyses were conducted on Excel 365, CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrics (R-Tool of R-Studio). Totally 3242 articles and reviews from 1997 to 2022 were included. These publications were mainly from 684 journals in 78 countries, led by the United States and China. Kehlet H published the most papers and had the largest number of co-citations. Analysis of the journals with the most outputs showed that most journals mainly cover Surgery and Oncology. The hottest keyword is "enhanced recovery after surgery". Later appearing topics and keywords indicate that the hotspots and future research trends include ERAS protocols for other types of surgery and improving perioperative status, including "bariatric surgery", "thoracic surgery", and "prehabilitation". This study reviewed the research on ERAS using bibliometric and visualization methods, which can help scholars better understand the dynamic evolution of ERAS and provide directions for future research.

Gynecol Oncol Rep 2024; 54:101441. [PMID: 39040941 PMCID: PMC11261291 DOI: 10.1016/j.gore.2024.101441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2024] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective This study describes the development and examines the feasibility of an exercise therapy program for women aged 70 years or older with advanced EOC, receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) before possible major surgery. Methods In this feasibility study, patients participated in a mainly home-based exercise therapy program, including progressive resistance training, physical activity, and support from the supervising physiotherapist. The program included both supervised virtual and face-to-face sessions and self-administered daily exercise. Clinician-reported, patient-reported and physical performance measures were collected before and after NACT. Retention, adherence, and compliance to the program was monitored, and patient acceptability was explored in semi-structured interviews. Results Fifteen patients, median age of 77 years (range 70-85) completed the exercise therapy program concurrently to receiving NACT lasting a median of 12 weeks. Patients were physically frail at baseline but improved at follow-up on measures of performance status, level of frailty, patient-reported physical fitness, lower body strength, aerobic functional capacity, basic mobility, balance, and number of steps per day. High levels of participation were found to both supervised and self-administered exercise. Patient interviews highlighted the homebased setting, the individualised tailoring of exercises and the support from the physiotherapist as reasons to complete the exercise therapy program as prescribed. Conclusions The exercise therapy program was found to be feasible and acceptable in women aged 70 years or older with advanced EOC, receiving NACT before possible major surgery. The observed improvements and the positive experiences perceived by the patients support future application in research and clinical practice.

Effects of patient-based self-assessed fatigue intervention on early postoperative ambulation following gynaecological oncology surgery: a randomised controlled non-inferiority trial. BMJ Open 2024; 14:e078461. [PMID: 39019626 PMCID: PMC11256053 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-078461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of a patient-based self-assessed fatigue intervention aimed at promoting early postoperative ambulation. DESIGN Prospective randomised controlled trial. SETTING Single-centre, conducted at the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department of the Xiangyang Central Hospital, China. PARTICIPANTS Eligible were adult patients undergoing elective gynaecologic oncologic surgery. INTERVENTIONS The intervention group utilised a modified Borg Rating of Perceived Experience (RPE) scale for self-assessment of fatigue levels. The control group followed fixed-activity distance guidelines postoperatively. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was the self-reported the time to first flatus postoperatively. Secondary outcomes encompassed the time to first defecation, incidence of moderate-to-severe abdominal distention, ileus, postambulation adverse events (nausea, vomiting and dizziness), patient satisfaction with early ambulation instructions, compliance with early ambulation and average hospital costs and length of stay. RESULTS Between June 2021 and October 2022, 552 patients were enrolled. The self-assessed fatigue intervention group demonstrated non-inferior the time to first flatus compared with the fixed-activity distance assessment group (25.59±14.59 hours vs 26.10±14.19 hours, pnon-inferiority<0.001). Compliance with activity was higher in the intervention group (49.40% vs 36.02%, p<0.001), although it did not reach 50%. The intervention group also exhibited significantly higher mean hospital costs, length of stay and incidence of moderate-to-severe abdominal distention (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The self-assessed fatigue intervention for early postoperative ambulation in gynaecologic oncology patients shows promise as an effective strategy; however, compliance is suboptimal. An intervention based on mandatory, yet reasonable, fixed-activity distance may represent the most viable current approach. Further research is warranted to confirm these findings.

Utilizing risk-stratified pathways to personalize post-hepatectomy discharge planning: A contemporary analysis of 1,354 patients. Am J Surg 2024; 233:17-23. [PMID: 38129274 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2023.12.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND While risk-stratified post-hepatectomy pathways (RSPHPs) reduce length-of-stay, can they stratify hepatectomy patients by risk of early postoperative events. METHODS 90-day outcomes from consecutive hepatectomies were analyzed (1/1/2017-12/31/2021). Pre/post-pathway analysis was performed for pathways: minimally invasive surgery ("MIS"); non-anatomic resection/left hepatectomy ("low-intermediate risk"); right/extended hepatectomy ("high-risk"); "Combination" operations. Time-to-event (TTE) analyses for readmission and interventional radiology procedures (IRPs) was performed. RESULTS 1354 patients were included: MIS/n= 119 (9 %); low-intermediate risk/n= 443 (33 %); high-risk/n= 328 (24 %); Combination/n= 464 (34 %). There was no difference in readmission (pre: 13 % vs. post:11.5 %, p = 0.398). There were fewer readmissions in post-pathway patients amongst MIS, low-intermediate risk, and Combination patients (all p > 0.1). 114 (8.4 %) patients required IRPs. Time-to-readmission and time-to-IR-procedure plots demonstrated lower plateaus and flatter slopes for MIS/low-intermediate-risk pathways post-pathway implementation (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION RSPHPs can reliably stratify patients by risks of readmission or need for an IR procedure by predicting the most frequent period for these events.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hysterectomy is a common gynecological surgery associated with significant postoperative discomfort and extended hospital stays. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), a multidisciplinary approach, has emerged as a strategy aimed at improving perioperative outcomes and promoting faster patient recovery and satisfaction. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of ERAS protocols on clinical outcomes, such as hospital stay length, readmission rates, and postoperative complications, in patients undergoing gynecological hysterectomy. METHODS Following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted. Databases including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane library were searched for relevant studies published up to January 31, 2023. A total of seventeen studies were selected based on predefined eligibility and exclusion criteria. Meta-analysis was carried out using a random-effects model with the STATA SE 14.0 software, focusing on outcomes like length of hospital stay, postoperative complications, and readmission rates. RESULTS ERAS protocols significantly reduced the length of hospital stays and incidence of postoperative complications such as ileus, without increasing readmission rates or the level of patient-reported pain. Notable heterogeneity was observed among included studies, attributed to the variation in patient populations and the specificity of the documented study protocols. CONCLUSION The findings underscore the effectiveness of ERAS protocols in enhancing recovery trajectories in gynecological hysterectomy patients. This reinforces the imperative for broader, standardized adoption of ERAS pathways as an evidence-based approach, fostering a safer and more efficient perioperative care paradigm.

PURPOSE To explore the optimal plan for the timing of indwelling gastric tube placement in oral and maxillofacial malignant tumor patients. DESIGN A prospective randomized controlled trial. METHODS 80 patients with oral and maxillofacial tumor were selected, and 40 patients were Pre-operative group. The remaining 40 patients were the control group, called Postoperative group. The body weight and hospital stay of the two groups were observed before and after surgery. Blood samples were taken before surgery and 1, 3 and 7 days after surgery to detect hemoglobin and plasma albumin. FINDINGS The number of postoperative hospitalization days in the pre-operative group was significantly lower than that in the post-operative group; postoperative hemoglobin and plasma albumins were lower in both groups compared with the preoperative level. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative nasogastric tube ensured early postoperative administration of gastrointestinal nutrition, promoted postoperative plasma albumin recovery, and shortened the days of hospitalization.

Perioperative outcomes of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery and transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery in hysterectomy: A comparative study. Int J Gynaecol Obstet 2024; 165:1151-1157. [PMID: 38140804 DOI: 10.1002/ijgo.15323] [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: 06/24/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the perioperative outcomes of patients who underwent hysterectomy for benign gynecologic diseases using transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) or transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (TU-LESS). METHODS A total of 314 patients who underwent hysterectomy for benign uterine disease at West China Second University Hospital between October 2018 and December 2021 were enrolled in this retrospective study. vNOTES (n = 157) and TU-LESS (n = 157) recipients were matched 1:1 in terms of uterine volume. The operation time, blood loss, postoperative decrease in hemoglobin, uterus weight, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative pain score at 12 h, postoperative indwelling catheter time, and other clinical indicators were compared between the two groups. RESULTS All 314 patients successfully completed the surgery, and the two groups had similar baseline characteristics, with no statistical difference. Regarding intraoperative outcomes, the operation time was shorter in the vNOTES group than in the TU-LESS group (80 vs 100 min, P = 0.04), and there were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion rate, postoperative decrease in hemoglobin, or uterine weight. Concerning postoperative outcomes, vNOTES hysterectomy was significantly superior to TU-LESS hysterectomy in terms of the length of hospital stay (3 vs 4 days, P < 0.001), visual analog scale score for pain at 12 h after surgery (P = 0.04), postoperative indwelling catheter time (39.5 vs 64.0 h, P < 0.001), and postoperative exhaust time (24.0 vs 42.0 h, P < 0.001). There were no significant differences in postoperative complications between the two groups. CONCLUSION vNOTES and TU-LESS seem safe and feasible for hysterectomy, but vNOTES hysterectomy was more conducive to the postoperative rehabilitation of patients, with less trauma, less pain, and better cosmetic effects than TU-LESS hysterectomy. As an emerging surgical approach, more studies, including large-sample, multicenter, randomized controlled trials, are needed to validate our findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to evaluate the implementation of an ERAS programme for deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE) surgery in terms of length of stay (LOS), postoperative complications (POC) and rehospitalisation rate. METHODS This was a comparative retrospective monocentric study in the Gynaecologic Department of the La Conception Hospital in Marseille, France. We compared a 'conventional' group, with classic perioperative management corresponding to patients undergoing DPE surgery between April 8, 2014 and January 23, 2018, and an 'ERAS' group after setting up the ERAS protocol from February 6, 2018 to March 6, 2020. RESULTS A total of 101 patients with DPE surgery were included, with 39 in the conventional group and 53 in the ERAS group. The LOS decreased by 1.91 days (p < 0.001). During the 45 postoperative days, no difference was found in rehospitalised rate (p = 1). The POC rate was 15/39 (38.5 %) in the conventional group and 12/53 (22.6 %) in the ERAS group (p = 0.1). CONCLUSION The implementation of an ERAS programme for DPE surgery is an effective strategy because it can reduce the LOS without increasing the POC rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common after major abdominal surgery. Selection of candidate kidney protective strategies for testing in large trials should be based on robust preliminary evidence. METHODS A secondary analysis of the Restrictive versus Liberal Fluid Therapy in Major Abdominal Surgery (RELIEF) trial was conducted in adult patients undergoing major abdominal surgery and randomly assigned to a restrictive or liberal perioperative fluid regimen. The primary outcome was maximum AKI stage before hospital discharge. Two multivariable ordinal regression models were developed to test the primary hypothesis that modifiable risk factors associated with increased maximum stage of postoperative AKI could be identified. Each model used a separate approach to variable selection to assess the sensitivity of the findings to modeling approach. For model 1, variable selection was informed by investigator opinion; for model 2, the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) technique was used to develop a data-driven model from available variables. RESULTS Of 2,444 patients analyzed, stage 1, 2, and 3 AKI occurred in 223 (9.1%), 59 (2.4%), and 36 (1.5%) patients, respectively. In multivariable modeling by model 1, administration of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug or cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor, intraoperatively only (odds ratio, 1.77 [99% CI, 1.11 to 2.82]), and preoperative day-of-surgery administration of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker compared to no regular use (odds ratio, 1.84 [99% CI, 1.15 to 2.94]) were associated with increased odds for greater maximum stage AKI. These results were unchanged in model 2, with the additional finding of an inverse association between nadir hemoglobin concentration on postoperative day 1 and greater maximum stage AKI. CONCLUSIONS Avoiding intraoperative nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors is a potential strategy to mitigate the risk for postoperative AKI. The findings strengthen the rationale for a clinical trial comprehensively testing the risk-benefit ratio of these drugs in the perioperative period. EDITOR’S PERSPECTIVE

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical outcomes pre- and post-implementation of an evidence-informed surgical site infection prevention bundle (SSIPB) in gynecologic oncology patients within an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) care pathway. METHODS Patients undergoing laparotomy for a gynecologic oncology surgery between January-June 2017 (pre-SSIPB) and between January 2018-December 2020 (post-SSIPB) were compared using t-tests and chi-square. Patient characteristics, surgical factors, and ERAS process measures and outcomes were abstracted from the ERAS® Interactive Audit System (EIAS). The primary outcomes were incidence of surgical site infections (SSI) during post-operative hospital admission and at 30-days post-surgery. Secondary outcomes included total postoperative infections, length of stay, and any surgical complications. Multivariate models were used to adjust for potential confounding factors. RESULTS Patient and surgical characteristics were similar in the pre- and post-implementation periods. Evaluation of implementation suggested that preoperative and intraoperative components of the intervention were most consistently used. Infectious complications within 30 days of surgery decreased from 42.1% to 24.4% after implementation of the SSIPB (p < 0.001), including reductions in wound infections (17.0% to 10.8%, p = 0.02), urinary tract infections (UTI) (12.7% to 4.5%, p < 0.001), and intra-abdominal abscesses (5.4% to 2.5%, p = 0.05). These reductions were associated with a decrease in median length of stay from 3 to 2 days (p = 0.001). In multivariate analysis, these SSI reductions remained statistically significant after adjustment for potential confounders. CONCLUSION Implementation of SSIPB was associated with a reduction in SSIs and infectious complications, as well as a shorter length of stay in gynecologic oncology patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol on perioperative and post-operative outcomes in laparoscopic hysterectomies (LHs) performed for benign gynecological diseases. METHODS This prospective study was conducted with randomized 100 participants who underwent LH between 1 January and 31 December, 2022. A standard care protocol was applied to 50 participants (Group 1, control) and the ERAS protocol to the other 50 (Group 2, study). Length of hospitalization was compared between the groups as the primary outcome, and the duration of the operation, the amount of bleeding, post-operative nausea-vomiting, gas discharge time, visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, and complications as the secondary outcomes. RESULTS No statistically significant difference was seen between the groups in terms of sociodemographic characteristics, medical history, operation indications, surgical procedures applied in addition to hysterectomy, operative time, pre-operative and post-operative hemoglobin levels, amount of bleeding, or drain use (p > 0.05). However, a statistically significant difference was observed in terms of nausea (60% vs. 26%, p = 0.001), vomiting (28% vs. 10%, p = 0.040), duration of gassing (17.74 ± 6.77 vs. 14.20 ± 7.05 h, p = 0.012), length of hospitalization (41.78 ± 12.17 vs. 34.12 ± 10.90 h, p = 0.001), analgesic requirements (4.62 ± 1.36 vs. 3.34 ± 1.27 h, p < 0.001), or VAS scores at the 1st (5.86 ± 1.21 vs. 4.58 ± 1.31, p < 0.001), 6th (5.16 ± 1.12 vs. 4.04 ± 1.08, p < 0.001), 12th (4.72 ± 1.12 vs. 3.48 ± 1.12, p < 0.001), 18th (4.48 ± 1.21 vs. 3.24 ± 1.34, p < 0.001), and 24th (4.08 ± 1.29 vs. 3.01 ± 1.30, p < 0.001) hours. CONCLUSION The findings of this study show that the ERAS protocol has a positive effect on peri- and post-operative outcomes in LH. Further prospective studies are now needed to confirm the validity of the results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are multimodal evidence-based care plans that have been adopted for multiple surgical procedures to promote faster and better patient recovery and shorter hospitalization. This study aimed to explore whether worldwide fetal therapy centers offering prenatal myelomeningocele repair implement the ERAS principles and to provide recommendations for improved perioperative management of patients. METHODS In this survey study, a total of 53 fetal therapy centers offering prenatal surgery for open spina bifida were identified and invited to complete a digital questionnaire covering their pre-, intra- and postoperative management. An overall score was calculated per center based on compliance with 20 key ERAS principles, extrapolated from ERAS guidelines for Cesarean section, gynecological oncology and colorectal surgery. Each item was awarded a score of 1 or 0, depending, respectively, on whether the center did or did not comply with that principle, with a maximum score of 20. RESULTS The questionnaire was completed by 46 centers in 17 countries (response rate, 87%). In total, 22 (48%) centers performed exclusively open fetal surgery (laparotomy and hysterotomy), whereas 14 (30%) offered both open and fetoscopic procedures and 10 (22%) used only fetoscopy. The perioperative management of patients undergoing fetoscopic and open surgery was very similar. The median ERAS score was 12 (range, 8-17), with a mean ± SD of 12.5 ± 2.4. Center compliance was the highest for the use of regional anesthesia (98%), avoidance of bowel preparation (96%) and thromboprophylaxis (96%), while the lowest compliance was observed for preoperative carbohydrate loading (15%), a 2-h fasting period for clear fluids (20%), postoperative nausea and vomiting prevention (33%) and early feeding (35%). ERAS scores were similar in centers with a short (2-5 days), medium (6-10 days) and long (≥ 11 days) hospital stay (mean ± SD, 12.9 ± 2.4, 12.1 ± 2.0 and 10.3 ± 3.2, respectively, P = 0.15). Furthermore, there was no significant association between ERAS score and surgical technique or case volume. CONCLUSIONS The perioperative management of fetal spina bifida surgery is highly variable across fetal therapy centers worldwide. Standardized protocols integrating ERAS principles may improve patient recovery, reduce maternal morbidity and shorten the hospital stay after fetal spina bifida surgery. © 2024 The Author(s).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total pelvic exenteration (TPE), an en bloc resection is an ultraradical operation for malignancies, and refers to the removal of organs inside the pelvis, including female reproductive organs, lower urological organs and involved parts of the digestive system. The aim of this meta-analysis is to estimate the intra-operative mortality, in-hospital mortality, 30- and 90-day mortality rate and overall mortality rate (MR) following TPE in colorectal, gynecological, urological, and miscellaneous cancers. METHODS This is a systematic review and meta-analysis in which three international databases including Medline through PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science on November 2023 were searched. To screen and select relevant studies, retrieved articles were entered into Endnote software. The required information was extracted from the full text of the retrieved articles by the authors. Effect measures in this study was the intra-operative, in-hospital, and 90-day and overall MR following TPE. All analyzes are performed using Stata software version 16 (Stata Corp, College Station, TX). RESULTS In this systematic review, 1751 primary studies retrieved, of which 98 articles (5343 cases) entered into this systematic review. The overall mortality rate was 30.57% in colorectal cancers, 25.5% in gynecological cancers and 12.42% in Miscellaneous. The highest rate of mortality is related to the overall mortality rate of colorectal cancers. The MR in open surgeries was higher than in minimally invasive surgeries, and also in primary advanced cancers, it was higher than in recurrent cancers. CONCLUSION In conclusion, it can be said that performing TPE in a specialized surgical center with careful patient eligibility evaluation is a viable option for advanced malignancies of the pelvic organs.

The Enhanced Recovery after Surgery Approach in Heart Valve Surgery: A Systematic Review of Clinical Studies. J Clin Med 2024; 13:2903. [PMID: 38792445 PMCID: PMC11121940 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13102903] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols aim to reduce postoperative complications and promote earlier recovery. Although it is well established in noncardiac surgery fields, the ERAS approach has only recently been adopted in cardiac surgery. The aim of this review is to evaluate the status and implementation of ERAS protocols in patients undergoing heart valve surgery and to summarise associated clinical results. Methods: A literature search for the period January 2015 and January 2024 was performed through online databases. Clinical studies (randomised controlled trials and cohort studies) on patients undergoing heart valve surgical procedures and comparing ERAS and conventional approaches were included. The data extracted covered studies and populations characteristics, early outcomes and the features of each ERAS protocol. Results: There were 14 studies that fulfilled the final search criteria and were ultimately included in the review. Overall, 5142 patients were identified in the 14 studies, with 2501 in ERAS groups and 2641 patients who were representative of control groups. Seven experiences exclusively included patients who underwent heart valve surgery. Twelve out of fourteen protocols involved multiple interventions from the preoperative to postoperative phase, while two studies reported actions limited to intraoperative and postoperative care. We found high heterogeneity among the included protocols regarding key actions targeted for improvement and measured outcomes. All the studies showed that ERAS pathways can be safely adopted in cardiac surgery and in most of the experiences were associated with shorter mechanical ventilation time, reduced postoperative opioid use and reduced ICU and hospital stays. Conclusions: As demonstrated in noncardiac surgery, the adoption of structured ERAS protocols has the potential to improve results in patients undergoing heart valve surgery. Further evidence based on larger populations is needed, including more homogenous pathways and reporting further outcomes in terms of patient satisfaction, recovery and quality of life after surgery.

Abstract
Background: The opioid epidemic is a public health crisis. However, opioid prescription recommendations have not been established in gynecological oncology, and guidelines that incorporate patient-reported pain are lacking. Objectives: The article aims to evaluate prescribing patterns, utilization, and patient-reported pain control in gynecological oncology patients at a large tertiary academic center. Methods: This was a two-phase, prospective cohort study. For Phase 1, patients undergoing hysterectomy through the gynecological oncology division at the University of New Mexico were enrolled. Postoperative opioid use was collected and standardized to oral morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs). The factors associated with outpatient opioid use were used to develop an opioid prescription algorithm. In Phase 2, we evaluated the implementation of the prescription algorithm. For both phases, patients completed a demographic survey, satisfaction survey, and validated pain questionnaires. Results: In Phase 1, the amount of opioids used was significantly lower than the amount of opioids prescribed. Factors that correlated with postoperative opioid use included surgical procedures and last 24-hour inpatient MME use. A standardized opioid prescription algorithm was developed by incorporating these factors. In Phase 2, the opioid prescribing algorithm there was no significant difference in pain scores between the two phases. Conclusions: Opioids were substantially overprescribed in gynecological oncology patients undergoing hysterectomy. Our study found that the surgical route and last 24-hour MME inpatient usage were reliable predictors of outpatient opioid use. We developed and implemented a standardized opioid prescription algorithm that was validated by comparing the pain control measures in the two phases.

Abstract
Most women with ovarian cancer are diagnosed at an advanced stage (stage III or IV), when the intraabdominal spread of the tumour impacts nutrient intake and absorption. Up to 70 % of women with ovarian cancer are malnourished and approximately 40 % are affected by muscle loss at the time of diagnosis. Women with ovarian cancer are at high risk of nutritional decline due to invasive treatment and the severity of side-effects. This review explores the evidence evaluating nutritional interventions during treatment for ovarian cancer and their effect on nutritional status, muscle mass, and clinical outcomes. Perioperative immunonutrition has been investigated with mixed results for immediate postoperative outcomes. Individualised nutrition counselling as part of a multimodal prehabilitation programme prior to surgery shows promising results; however, the effects are limited by sample size. Nutrition counselling as part of a mixed intervention with exercise shows high acceptability and suggests improvements in dietary intake and quality of life during chemotherapy treatment, while oral nutritional supplements and nutrition education appear to reduce symptom burden. Individualised nutrition counselling during treatment also appears to be associated with improved overall survival; however, the evidence is limited to a single retrospective study. A key finding from this review is that, despite the high prevalence of malnutrition and muscle loss in women with ovarian cancer and the critical importance of addressing these modifiable prognostic factors, nutrition intervention studies are limited. Prospective studies with samples large enough to provide adequate power to evaluate intervention effectiveness are urgently required to inform optimal management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Racial and ethnic disparities in pain management are well documented. Differences in pain assessment and management by language have not been studied in the postoperative setting in gynecologic surgery. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the association between language and immediate postoperative pain management by comparing pain assessments and perioperative opioid use in non-English speakers and English speakers. STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective cohort study comparing perioperative outcomes between non-English-speaking patients and English-speaking patients who had undergone a gynecologic oncology open surgery between July 2012 and December 2020. The primary language was extracted from the electronic medical record. Opioid use is expressed in oral morphine equivalents. Proportions are compared using chi-square tests, and mean values are compared using 2-sample t tests. Although interpreter services are widely available in our institution, the use of interpreters for any given inpatient-provider interaction is not documented. RESULTS Between 2012 and 2020, 1203 gynecologic oncology patients underwent open surgery, of whom 181 (15.1%) were non-English speakers and 1018 (84.9%) were English speakers. There was no difference between the 2 cohorts concerning body mass index, surgical risk score, or preoperative opioid use. Compared with the English-speaking group, the non-English-speaking group was younger (57 vs 54 years old, respectively; P<.01) and had lower rates of depression (26% vs 14%, respectively; P<.01) and chronic pain (13% vs 6%, respectively; P<.01). Although non-English-speaking patients had higher rates of hysterectomy than English-speaking patients (80% vs 72%, respectively; P=.03), there was no difference in the rates of bowel resections, adnexal surgeries, lengths of surgery, intraoperative oral morphine equivalents administered, blood loss, use of opioid-sparing modalities, lengths of hospital stay, or intensive care unit admissions. In the postoperative period, compared with English-speaking patients, non-English-speaking patients received fewer oral morphine equivalents per day (31.7 vs 43.9 oral morphine equivalents, respectively; P<.01) and had their pain assessed less frequently (7.7 vs 8.8 checks per day, respectively; P<.01) postoperatively. English-speaking patients received a median of 19.5 more units of oral morphine equivalents daily in the hospital and 205.1 more units of oral morphine equivalents at the time of discharge (P=.02 and P=.04, respectively) than non-English-speaking patients. When controlling for differences between groups and several factors that may influence oral morphine equivalent use, English-speaking patients received a median of 15.9 more units of oral morphine equivalents daily in the hospital cohort and similar oral morphine equivalents at the time of discharge compared with non-English-speaking patients. CONCLUSION Patients who do not speak English may be at risk of undertreated pain in the immediate postoperative setting. Language barrier, frequency of pain assessments, and provider bias may perpetuate disparity in pain management. Based on this study's findings, we advocate for the use of regular verbal pain assessments with language-concordant staff or medical interpreters for all postoperative patients.

Abstract
This manuscript provides an overview of the principles and requirements for implementing the ERAS program in thoracic surgery.The ERAS program optimises perioperative management of elective lung resection procedures and is based on the ERAS Guidelines for Thoracic Surgery of the ERAS Society. The clinical measures are described as in the current literature, with a focus on postoperative outcome. There are currently 45 enhanced recovery items covering four perioperative phases: from the prehospital admission phase (patient education, screening and treatment of potential risk factors such as anaemia, malnutrition, cessation of nicotine or alcohol abuse, prehabilitation, carbohydrate loading) to the immediate preoperative phase (shortened fasting period, non-sedating premedication, prophylaxis of PONV and thromboembolic complications), the intraoperative measures (antibiotic prophylaxis, standardised anaesthesia, normothermia, targeted fluid therapy, minimally invasive surgery, avoidance of catheters and probes) through to the postoperative measures (early mobilisation, early nutrition, removal of a urinary catheter, hyperglycaemia control). Most of these measures are based on scientific studies, with a high level of evidence and aim to reduce general postoperative complications.The ERAS program is an optimised perioperative treatment approach aiming to improve the postoperative recovery in patients after elective lung resection by reducing the overall complication rates and overall morbidity.

Impact of FRAilty screening and Geriatric assessment and INtervention in older patients with epithelial Ovarian Cancer: A multicenter randomized clinical trial protocol (FRAGINOC). J Geriatr Oncol 2024; 15:101713. [PMID: 38326125 DOI: 10.1016/j.jgo.2024.101713] [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: 11/10/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Radical surgery combined with chemotherapy is the only potential curative treatment of patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). However, 43% of older Danish patients with EOC are not referred to surgery due to frailty, age, or fear of complications. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) has demonstrated ability to reduce frailty in older patients, but there is a knowledge gap regarding its effect before or during treatment in older adults with EOC. This protocol presents a randomized controlled trial (RCT), which evaluates the effect of CGA-based interventions including individualized physical exercise therapy in older adults with EOC during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). MATERIALS AND METHODS This RCT will include patients aged ≥70 years with primary EOC referred to NACT. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to intervention or standard of care, along with neoadjuvant antineoplastic treatment. Stratification for performance status and center of inclusion will be performed. In the intervention arm, a geriatrician will perform CGA and corresponding geriatric interventions and patients will undergo an individualized home-based exercise program managed by a physiotherapist. All patients will be evaluated with Geriatric-8, modified Geriatric-8, clinical frailty scale, and physical tests at randomization. Predictive values (positive/negative) will be evaluated for CGA detected impairments. The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients referred to interval debulking surgery (IDS). Secondary endpoints include the proportion who complete oncological treatment, improvements in physical tests, quality of life measured by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Quality of Life questionnaires at inclusion, after three cycles of chemotherapy, and at end of chemotherapy treatment. Furthermore, the association between results of geriatric screening tests, CGA, and physical tests with complication rate and progression free survival will be examined. The primary outcome will be analyzed with logistic regression in the intention-to-treat population. Power calculations reveal the need to enroll 216 patients. DISCUSSION The present study examines whether CGA-based interventions including individualized physical exercise can increase the referral rate for potential curative IDS in older patients with EOC. If successful, this will result in more patients undergoing surgery and completing chemotherapy, preventing complications, and ultimately improving quality of life and survival. The study setup may establish the basis for direct clinical implementation if proven effective.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to develop and validate a suitable scale for assessing the level of nurses' knowledge and practice of perioperative pulmonary rehabilitation. Methods We divided the study into two phases: scale development and validation. In Phase 1, the initial items were generated through a literature review. In Phase 2, a cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 603 thoracic nurses to evaluate the scale's validity, reliability, and difficulty and differentiation of items. Item and exploratory factor analyses were performed for item reduction. Thereafter, their validity, reliability, difficulty, and differentiation of items were assessed using Cronbach's α coefficient, retest reliability, content validity, and item response theory (IRT). Results The final questionnaire comprised 34 items, and exploratory factor analysis revealed 3 common dimensions with internal consistency coefficients of 0.950, 0.959, and 0.965. The overall internal consistency of the scale was 0.966, with a split-half reliability of 0.779 and a retest reliability Pearson's correlation coefficient of 0.936. The content validity of the scale was excellent (item-level content validity index = 0.875-1.000, scale-level content validity index = 0.978). The difficulty and differentiation of item response theory were all verified to a certain extent (average value = 2.391; threshold β values = -1.393-0.820). Conclusions The knowledge-attitudes-practices questionnaire for nurses can be used as a tool to evaluate knowledge, attitudes, and practices among nurses regarding perioperative pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with lung cancer.

Abstract
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs have been shown to lessen surgical insult, promote recovery, and improve postoperative clinical outcomes across a number of specialty operations. A core tenet of ERAS involves the provision of protocolized evidence-based perioperative interventions. Given both the growing enthusiasm for applying ERAS principles to cardiac surgery and the broad scope of relevant interventions, an international, multidisciplinary expert panel was assembled to derive a list of potential program elements, review the literature, and provide a statement regarding clinical practice for each topic area. This article summarizes those consensus statements and their accompanying evidence. These results provide the foundation for best practice for the management of the adult patient undergoing cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Enhanced Rehabilitation after Surgery (ERAS) is a paradigm involving a new organization of surgical care pathways. Its main objective is to maximize the rehabilitation of people undergoing surgery. It is a multimodal approach based on evidence-based data and high-level recommendations, combined with daily assessment of the quality of the patient's surgical pathway using clinical indicators grouped around some twenty recommendations. This implementation requires the involvement of all professionals involved in the care process. The ERAS nurse coordinator is one of them.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines are bundled evidence-informed recommendations implemented to improve quality and safety of perioperative care. This study aims to determine feasibility of NICU implementation of an ERAS Guideline for Intestinal Resection, describing clinical outcomes and adherence to recommendations following light-touch implementation. METHODS Infants <28 days undergoing laparotomy for intestinal resection in a closed-NICU were prospectively enrolled. Exclusion criteria included prematurity (<32wks), instability, or major comorbidity. Clinical data reflecting 13 ERAS recommendations were collected through chart review. Descriptive statistics are presented as median [interquartile range]. Thirty-day post-discharge outcomes include NICU and hospital length of stay (LOS), ventilator days, surgical site infection (SSI), re-intubation, readmission, reoperation, and mortality. Adherence was calculated as the percentage of patients eligible for each recommendation whose care was adherent. RESULTS Ten infant-parent dyads were enrolled (five females; GA 37 weeks [35, 38.8]; birthweight 2.97 kg [2.02, 3.69]). Surgical diagnoses included intestinal atresia/web (n = 6), anorectal malformation (n = 3), and segmental volvulus (n = 1). NICU LOS was 16 days [11, 21], hospital LOS 20 days [18, 30], and 2.5 ventilator days/patient [2, 3]. There was reduced opioid use, no SSIs, one re-intubation, three readmissions, three reoperations, and no mortalities. Adherence to ERAS recommendations ranged 0-100 % with a pooled adherence rate of 73 %. CONCLUSION It is feasible to introduce ERAS to the NICU with acceptable overall adherence. Assessing adherence was challenging for some measures. There were promising early clinical findings including a reduction in opioid use. This implementation trial will inform development of an ERAS protocol for surgical NICUs. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV (Cohort Study).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Same day discharge is safe after minimally invasive gynecology oncology surgery. Our quality improvement peri-operative program based on enhanced recovery after surgery principles led to an increase in same day discharge from 30% to 75% over a 12 month period. Twelve months after program implementation, we assessed the sustainability of same day discharge rates, determined post-operative complication rates, and evaluated factors affecting same day discharge rates. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted of 100 consecutive patients who underwent minimally invasive surgery at an academic cancer center from January to 2021 to December 2021. This cohort was compared with the active intervention cohort (n=102) from the implementation period (January 2020 to December 2020). Same day discharge rates and complications were compared. Multivariable analysis was performed to assess which factors remained associated with same day discharge post-intervention. RESULTS Same day discharge post-intervention was 72% compared with 75% during active intervention (p=0.69). Both cohorts were similar in age (p=0.24) and body mass index (p=0.27), but the post-intervention cohort had longer operative times (p=0.001). There were no significant differences in 30-day complications, readmission, reoperation, or emergency room visits (p>0.05). There was a decrease in 30-day post-operative clinic visits from 18% to 5% in the post-intervention cohort (p=0.007), and unnecessary bowel prep use decreased from 35% to 14% (p<0.001). On multivariable analysis, start time (second case of the day) (OR 0.06; 95% CI 0.01 to 0.35), and ward narcotic use (OR 0.12; 95% CI 0.03 to 0.42) remained associated with overnight admission. CONCLUSION Same day discharge rate was sustained at 72%, 12 months after the implementation of a quality improvement program to optimize same day discharge rate after minimally invasive surgery, while maintaining low post-operative complications and reducing unplanned clinic visits. To maximize same day discharge, minimally invasive gynecologic oncology surgery should be prioritized as the first case of the day, and post-operative narcotic use should be limited.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the effect of a short-term, hospital-based, multimodal preoperative prehabilitation intervention on perioperative functional ability of patients with gynecological malignant tumors. METHODS According to the order in which they underwent surgery, 97 patients were divided into the control group (48 cases) and the intervention group (49 cases). The control group was given routine preoperative guidance, whereas the intervention group was given short-term multimodal prehabilitation guidance on the basis of the control group intervention. The 6-min walk test was performed on the day of admission to the hospital, the day before surgery, and the 30th day after surgery. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the intervention group had significantly better 6-min walk distance and superior physical and psychological status on the day before surgery and the 30th day after surgery (P < 0.001). For three consecutive days after surgery, the quality of recovery in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.001), and the first ambulation time and exhaust time were achieved earlier in the intervention group than in the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The preoperative intervention group showed improved preoperative exercise ability and reduced anxiety in patients with gynecological cancer. Furthermore, this intervention improved the overall health of patients and accelerated their postoperative recovery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols provide well-known benefits in the immediate recovery with a shorter length of stay (LOS) and also in gynecological surgery. However, the impact of ERAS has not been clearly showed yet regarding long-term consequences and health-related quality of life (HRQL). The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of ERAS on HRQL after hysterectomy for endometrial cancer. DESIGN An observational retrospective study with propensity score matching (PSM) was performed. PARTICIPANTS We administered the SF-36 validated questionnaire to women underwent hysterectomy and lymph nodal staging before and after introducing ERAS protocol, getting, respectively, a standard practice (SP) and ERAS group. SETTINGS The study was conducted at the academic hospital. METHODS We collected demographic, clinical, surgical and postoperative data and performed a PSM of the baseline confounders. We administered the questionnaire 4 weeks after the surgery. The SF-36 measures HRQL using eight scales: physical functioning (PF), role physical (RLP), bodily pain (BP), general health (GH), vitality (Vt), social functioning (SF), role emotional (RLE) and mental health (MH). RESULTS After PSM, we enrolled a total of 154 patients, 77 in each group (SP and ERA). The two groups were similar in terms of age, BMI, anesthetic risk, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), and surgical technique (minimally invasive vs. open access). Median LOS was shorter for ERAS group (5 vs. 3 days; p = 0.02), while no significant differences were registered in the rates of postoperative complications (16.9% vs. 17.4%; p = 0.66). Response rates to SF-36 questionnaire were 89% and 92%, respectively, in SP and ERAS group. At multivariate analyzes, the mean scores of SF-36 questionnaire, registered at 28 days weeks after surgery (range 26-32 days), were significantly higher in ERAS group for PF (73.3 vs. 91.6; p < 0.00), RLP (median 58.3 vs. 81.2; p = 0.02), and SF (37.5 vs. 58.3; p = 0.01) domains, when compared to SP patients. LIMITATIONS Further follow-up was not possible due to the anonymized data derived from clinical audit. CONCLUSIONS ERAS significantly increases the HRQL of women who underwent surgery for endometrial cancer. HRQL assessment should be routinely implemented in the ERAS protocol.

Abstract
Endometriosis is a chronic debilitating disease that affects nearly 10% of women of the reproductive age. Although the treatment modalities of endometriosis are numerous, surgical excision of the endometriotic implants and nodules remains the sole cytoreductive approach. Laparoscopic excision of endometriosis was proven to be beneficial in improving the postoperative pain and fertility. Moreover, it was also proved to be safe and efficient in treating the visceral localization of deep endometriosis, such as urinary and colorectal endometriosis. More recently, robotic-assisted surgery gained attention in the field of endometriosis surgery. Although the robotic technology provides a 3D vision of the surgical field and 7-degree of freedom motion, the safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of this approach are yet to be determined. With this paper, we aim to review the available evidence regarding the role of robotic surgery in the management of endometriosis along with the current practices in the field.

Abstract
Postoperative gastrointestinal disorder (POGD) was a common complication after surgery under anesthesia. Strategies in combination with Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine showed some distinct effects but standardized clinical practice guidelines were not available. Thus, a multidisciplinary expert team from various professional bodies including the Perioperative and Anesthesia Professional Committees of the Chinese Association of Integrative Medicine (CAIM), jointly with Gansu Province Clinical Research Center of Integrative Anesthesiology/Anesthesia and Pain Medical Center of Gansu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and WHO Collaborating Center for Guideline Implementation and Knowledge Translation/Chinese Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) Center/Gansu Provincial Center for Medical Guideline Industry Technology/Evidence-based Medicine Center of Lanzhou University, was established to develop evidence-based guidelines. Clinical questions (7 background and 12 clinical questions) were identified through literature reviews and expert consensus meetings. Based on systematic reviews/meta-analyses, evidence quality was analyzed and the advantages and disadvantages of interventional measures were weighed with input from patients' preferences. Finally, 20 recommendations were developed through the Delphi-based consensus meetings. These recommendations included disease definitions, etiologies, pathogenesis, syndrome differentiation, diagnosis, and perioperative prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Our study aimed to investigate the effects of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) nursing program on surgical site wound infections (SSWI) and postoperative complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) for hepatocellular carcinoma. Computer searches of the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang databases were conducted to gather randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that were published from inception to September 2023. The target studies evaluated the effects of the ERAS nursing program in patients undergoing LH for hepatocellular carcinoma. Two independent authors screened the literature, extracted the data and performed quality assessments. Dichotomous variables were analysed using odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), as effect analysis statistics. Stata software (version 17.0) was used for data analysis. Eleven RCTs with 765 patients were included, with 383 patients in the ERAS group and 382 in the control group. The results revealed that the incidence of SSWI (OR = 0.32, 95%CI:0.15-0.71, p = 0.004) and postoperative complications (OR = 0.23, 95%CI:0.15-0.34, p < 0.001) were both significantly reduced in the ERAS group, compared with the control group. The ERAS nursing program, when applied to patients undergoing laparoscopic hepatic cancer resection, can effectively reduce the incidence of SSWI and postoperative complications, thus promoting postoperative recovery.

Abstract
Malnutrition significantly impacts the post-operative process of gynecological cancer patients. A prominent variable for determining perioperative morbidity is the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI). To investigate PNI's predictive value on the risk of post-operative infections, we conducted a prospective cohort study involving women who underwent surgery for gynecological malignancies. Out of the 208 patients enrolled, 28 (13.5%) were malnourished and post-operative infections occurred in 43 patients. Notably, there was a significant difference in PNI between patients who developed infections and those who did not (p = 0.027), as well as between malnourished patients and those with normal nutritional status (p = 0.043). Univariate analysis showed that preoperative PNI predicts the risk of post-operative infections better than post-operative white blood cell count (AUC of 0.562 vs 0.375). However, the most accurate diagnostic results in the multivariate analysis were obtained from random forest and classification tree models (AUC of 0.987 and 0.977, respectively). Essentially, PNI and post-operative white blood cell count provided the best information gain according to rank probabilities. In conclusion, PNI appears to be a critical parameter that merits further investigation during the preoperative evaluation of gynecological malignancies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Opioid over-prescription is wasteful and contributes to the opioid crisis. We implemented a personalized tiered discharge opioid protocol and education on opioid disposal to minimize over-prescription. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the intervention by investigating opioid use post-discharge for women undergoing abdomino-pelvic surgery, and patient adherence to opioid disposal education. METHODS We analyzed post-discharge opioid consumption among 558 patients. Eligible patients included those who underwent elective gynecologic surgery, were not taking scheduled opioids pre-operatively, and received discharge opioids according to a tiered prescribing algorithm. A survey assessing discharge opioid consumption and disposal safety knowledge was distributed on post-discharge day 21. Over-prescription was defined as >20% of the original prescription left over. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis. RESULTS The survey response rate was 61% and 59% in the minimally invasive surgery and open surgery cohorts, respectively. Overall, 42.8% of patients reported using no opioids after hospital discharge, 45.2% in the minimally invasive surgery and 38.6% in the open surgery cohort. Furthermore, 74.9% of respondents were over-prescribed, with median age being statistically significant for this group (p=0.004). Finally, 46.4% of respondents expressed no knowledge regarding safe disposal practices, with no statistically significant difference between groups (p>0.99). CONCLUSION Despite implementation of the tiered discharge opioid algorithm aimed to personalize opioid prescriptions to estimated need, we still over-prescribed opioids. Additionally, despite targeted education, nearly half of all patients who completed the survey did not know how to dispose of their opioid tablets. Additional efforts are needed to further refine the algorithm to reduce over-prescription of opioids and improve disposal education.

Abstract
The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway is designed to facilitate recovery after surgery by packaging evidence-based protocols specific to each aspect of the perioperative period, including the preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative, and post-discharge periods. The ERAS pathway, which was originally developed for use with colonic resection, is now being expanded to include a variety of surgical procedures, and the ERAS Society has published a consensus review of the ERAS pathway for head and neck surgery with free tissue transfer reconstruction (HNS-FTTR). The ERAS pathway for HNS-FTTR consists of various important protocols, including early postoperative mobilization, early postoperative enteral nutrition, abolition of preoperative fasting, preoperative enteral fluid loading, multimodal pain management, and prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting. In recent years, meta-analyses investigating the utility of the ERAS pathway in head and neck cancer surgery have also been presented, and all reports showed that the length of the postoperative hospital stay was reduced by the implementation of the ERAS pathway. The ERAS pathway is now gaining traction in the field of head and neck surgery; however, the details of its efficacy remain uncertain. We believe the future direction will require research focused on improving the quality of postoperative patient recovery and patient satisfaction. It will be important to use patient-reported outcomes to determine whether the ERAS pathway is actually beneficial.
