[PMID: 39349519 PMCID: PMC11442495 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-70337-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2024] [Accepted: 08/14/2024] [Indexed: 10/02/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aims to objectively assess the effect of three surgical approaches for posterior uterine fibroid resection: transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS), vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) in prone position (vNOTES-P), and vNOTES in the lithotomy position (vNOTES-L). A retrospective analysis was conducted on data pertaining to all patients who underwent vNOTES and LESS for single posterior fibroids at our institution from January 2023 to July 2023. Patients were categorized into three groups based on the surgical approach: vNOTES-P group (n = 30), vNOTES-L group (n = 17), and LESS group (n = 32). Comparative analysis was performed on the demographic characteristics and perioperative outcomes among the three groups of patients. All 79 patients underwent surgery without the need for conversion to laparotomy. There were no statistically significant differences among the LESS group, vNOTES-P group, and vNOTES-L group in terms of operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and perioperative complication rates. In the vNOTES-L group, two patients required conversion to LESS during surgery. Patients had faster return of bowel function (less time to flatus) in the vNOTES group compared to the LESS group (P < 0.05). However, three cases of postoperative infection occurred in the vNOTES group, while none were reported in the LESS group. Compared to LESS, vNOTES demonstrates significant advantages in alleviating postoperative pain, shortening time to passage of flatus, speeding recovery and enhancing cosmetic outcomes. Particularly, vNOTES-P for posterior uterine fibroid resection, as an emerging surgical approach, offers certain advantages in facilitating surgical maneuverability and reducing operative time, rendering it more suitable for posterior uterine fibroid resection.

Abstract
Complex fractures present significant challenges in orthopaedic surgery, particularly in terms of postoperative wound healing. Nutritional status plays a crucial role in the recovery process, with early nutritional support potentially influencing wound healing outcomes. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the impact of early nutritional interventions on postoperative wound healing and scar formation in patients with complex fractures. From an initial pool of 1742 articles, 7 studies were selected for analysis. The results revealed that preoperative nutritional support significantly improved early wound healing, as indicated by lower REEDA scores (SMD = -14.06, 95% CI: [-16.79, -11.32], p < 0.01) 1 week post-surgery. Furthermore, there was a notable reduction in scar formation, as demonstrated by lower Manchester Scar Scale scores (SMD = -25.03, 95% CI: [-30.32, -19.74], p < 0.01) 3 months post-surgery. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating nutritional strategies into the management of complex fractures to optimize postoperative recovery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of preoperative low-residue diet on postoperative ileus in women undergoing elective cesarean section (CS). METHODS This is a surgeon-blind, randomized controlled trial enrolling pregnant women at ≥39 weeks of gestation undergoing elective CS. Patients were preoperatively randomized to receive either low-residue diet (arm A) or free diet (arm B) starting from three days before surgery. The primary outcome was the postoperative ileus. The secondary outcomes were the postoperative pain (assessed through VAS scale), the quality of the surgical field (scored using a 5-point scale, from poor to excellent), postoperative complications, and the length of hospital stay. Perioperative data were collected and compared between groups. RESULTS A total of 166 patients were enrolled and randomized in arm A (n = 83) and arm B (n = 83). Postoperative ileus over 24 h was significantly shorter in arm A, compared to arm B (19.3% vs 36.2%). The surgical evaluation of small intestine was scored ≥3 in 96.4% of arm A patients versus 80.7% in arm B, while evaluation of large intestine, respectively, in 97.7% and 81.9%. Postoperative pain after 12 h from CS was significantly lower in arm A (VAS, 3.4 ± 1.7) compared to arm B (VAS, 4.1 ± 1.8). There were no significant differences as regards postoperative pain at 24 and 48 h, nausea/vomit, surgical complications, and hospital stay. CONCLUSIONS Implementation of a preoperative low-residue diet for women scheduled for elective CS would reduce postoperative ileus and pain. Further large-scale studies are required before translating these research findings into routine obstetrical practice.

Abstract
Some nutritional factors have been suggested to improve postoperative outcomes in rotator cuff (RC) repair, but dietary effects on the recovery speed after the surgery remain undefined. To investigate the potential roles of dietary habits in this context, we analyzed the 12-month follow-up data of 55 patients with RC repair and found that these patients could be categorized into a rapid recovery group (n = 35) and slow recovery group (n = 20) according to their postoperative recovery patterns. Group-based logistic analysis revealed that habitual intakes of meat (OR = 1.84, 95%CI, 1.22-2.76, p = 0.003), fruits (OR = 2.33, 95%CI, 1.26-5.67, p = 0.01), and wheat-flour foods (OR = 1.62, 95%CI, 1.2-2.25, p = 0.002) were significantly associated with rapid recovery. Moreover, among all intakes of wheat-flour foods, intakes of steamed and boiled flour products were also associated with rapid recovery. Further mediation analysis showed that eosinophilic granulocytes (EOs) significantly mediated the association between rapid RC recovery and the habitual intakes of meat (mediation proportion = 17.5%, P-mediation < 0.0001), fruits (17.9%, p < 0.0001), and wheat-flour foods (11.4%, p < 0.0001). Thus, our study suggests that certain dietary habits play beneficial roles in the context of postoperative recovery for RC repair.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this review was to evaluate the impact of preoperative myosteatosis on long-term outcomes following surgery for gastrointestinal malignancy. METHODS We conducted a systematic search of the electronic information sources, including PubMed MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), CINAHL and AMED. Studies were included if they reported the impact of preoperatively defined myosteatosis, or a similar term, on long-term survival outcomes following surgery for gastrointestinal malignancy. A subgroup analysis was performed for those studies reporting outcomes for colorectal cancer patients only. FINDINGS Thirty-nine full-text articles were reviewed for inclusion, with 19 being retained after the inclusion criteria were applied. The total number of included patients across all studies was 14,481. Patients with myosteatosis had significantly poorer overall survival, according to univariate (hazard ratio (HR) 1.82, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.67-1.99) and multivariable (HR 1.66, 95% CI 1.49-1.86) analysis. This was also demonstrated for cancer-specific survival (univariate HR 1.62, 95% CI 1.18-2.22; multivariable HR 1.73, 95% CI 1.48-2.03) and recurrence-free survival (univariate HR 1.28, 95% CI 1.10-1.48; multivariable HR 1.38, 95% CI 1.07-1.77). CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis demonstrates that patients with preoperative myosteatosis have poorer long-term survival outcomes following surgery for gastrointestinal malignancy. Therefore, myosteatosis should be used for preoperative optimisation and as a prognostic tool before surgery. More standardised definitions of myosteatosis and further cohort studies of patients with non-colorectal malignancies are required.

Perioperative fluid management influences complication rates and length of hospital stay in the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol for patients with colorectal cancer. Surg Today 2023; 53:242-251.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol and quantify the impact of each ERAS item on postoperative outcomes. METHODS We used a generalized linear model to compare 289 colorectal cancer patients treated with the ERAS protocol between June, 2015 and April, 2021, with 99 colorectal cancer patients treated with the conventional colorectal surgery pathway between April, 2014 and June, 2015. RESULTS The median length of hospital stay (LOHS) was significantly shorter in the ERAS group, at 9 days (range 3-104 days) vs. 14 days (range 4-44 days) (p < 0.001), but the complication rates (Clavien-Dindo grade 2 or more) were similar (16.6% vs. 22.2%; p = 0.227). However, in the ERAS group, the higher the compliance with ERAS items, the lower the complication rate and LOHS (both p < 0.001). Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that "Discontinuation of continuous intravenous infusion on POD1" and "Avoidance of fluid overload" were significantly associated with the LOHS (p < 0.001 and p = 0.008). CONCLUSION The ERAS protocol is safe and effective for elective colorectal cancer surgery, and compliance with the ERAS protocol contributes to shorter LOHS and fewer complications. Items related to perioperative fluid management had a crucial impact on these outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop an effective method for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy using gastropexy technology. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 260 ICU patients with dysphagia associated with neurological disorders between 2010 and 2020. All patients were divided into two groups: the main group (n=50) - percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy with gastropexy, control group (n=210) - surgery without fixing the anterior wall of the stomach to the abdominal wall. RESULTS. G Astropexy significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative complications (p=0.045) and severe complications (grade IIIa and higher) (χ2=3.701, p=0.055). Early postoperative complications occurred in 20 (7.7%) patients. Surgery and subsequent treatment were associated with normalization of leukocyte count (p=0.041), C-reactive protein (p=0.024) and serum albumin (p=0.0012). Mortality was similar in both groups. Overall 30-day mortality rate in both groups was 20.8% that was associated with clinical severity of patients. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy was not the direct cause of death in any case. However, complications of endoscopic gastrostomy aggravated the underlying disease in 2.9% of cases. CONCLUSION Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy with gastropexy reduces the incidence of postoperative complications.

Abstract
Malignancy is a catabolic state, which is precipitated with surgical intervention. Malnutrition is one of the main risk factors for poor outcomes of cancer surgery. We need to screen oncological patients for malnutrition using standardized screening tools, by which patients found to be at nutritional risk are then referred to a registered dietitian for further management. A detailed assessment is required in such patients, which helps in categorizing the patients based on the severity and rendering proper care. Preoperative nutrition care is often overlooked because of the urgency of operating on a cancer patient. Still, studies have shown preoperative nutritional building gives better surgical outcomes and good postoperative quality of life. Preoperative nutrition care includes both early and late preoperative care. For efficient preoperative nutrition care publishing, standard operating procedures at every healthcare center are recommended. Postoperative nutrition care is given to build the patient tackle the surgical trauma, and their diet mainly includes protein to minimize catabolism. Regardless of the route of nutrition delivery, providing appropriate nutrition care in the postoperative period improves cancer patients' condition drastically. Early postoperative nutrition is studied in different cancer surgeries and is considered ideal in cancer surgical patients. There is a need for consensus on the composition of postoperative nutrition. The diet of a cancer patient should include micronutrients like vitamins D and B and minerals along with the usual nutrition care. The use of special diets like branched-chain amino acids and immune nutrition is to be considered on a case-by-case basis and introducing them into the routine care of a patient needs to be studied extensively.

Abstract
ObjectiveTo compare the return to work (RTW) time between single-port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) and multiport laparoscopic surgery (MPLS) for benign ovarian tumors.MethodsA cross-sectional cohort study was conducted, which consisted of 335 women of reproductive age with benign ovarian tumors and who were keen on returning to work as early as possible. Surgical outcomes, postoperative pain score, postoperative satisfaction with the cosmesis score (CS), and the RTW time of the SPLS group were compared with those of the MPLS group. Besides, the RTW time and CS were calculated from the questionnaire survey by a single specialized gynecologist.ResultsWomen who met the inclusion criteria were included in the SPLS (n = 106) and MPLS groups (n = 229). The RTW time in the SPLS group (22.13 ± 27. 06 days) was significantly shorter than that in the MPLS group (46.08 ± 57.86 days) (P < 0.001). The multivariate Cox analysis results showed that age (HR = 0.984, 95% CI, 0.971−0.997, P = 0.020), SPLS (HR = 3.491, 95% CI, 2.422−5. 032, P < 0.001), and return to normal activity time (HR = 0.980, 95% CI, 0.961−0.998, P = 0.029) were independent factors of the RTW time.ConclusionsSPLS may be advantageous in terms of shortening the RTW time for women with benign ovarian tumors.

Abstract
The overall outcome of the patient after any surgery is determined not only by the fineness of the surgical procedure but also by preoperative conditioning and postoperative care. Prehabilitation decreases the surgical stress response and increases the preparedness of the patient to undergo planned surgical insult. Preoperatively structured inspiratory muscle exercises, cardiopulmonary fitness program, and planned exercise program for muscles of limbs, back, abdomen, head, and neck allow an overall upliftment of the physiological capacity of the patient to better cope with the surgical stress. Optimization of dietary status by macronutrients, micronutrients, and the nutrients has an impact on augmenting postoperative recovery and shortening the overall hospital stay. Preparing patients for the scheduled surgery and initiating alcohol and smoking cessation programs overhaul the patient's mental health and boost the healing process. This concept of prehabilitation a few weeks before surgery is equally beneficial compared to enhancing operative procedures and postsurgical care.

BACKGROUND Femur fracture is a major burden among elderly people, leading patients to be bedridden for a long time in the hospital. The body is more likely to be in a catabolic state as a result of the prolonged fasting period required for surgery, leading to an increase in insulin resistance. Pre-operative carbohydrate loading has been shown to improve postoperative outcomes in several countries. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of pre-operative carbohydrate loading in femur fracture surgery. METHODS This study was single-center, hospital-based, open-label, parallel-group randomized controlled trial conducted between August 2020 and November 2021. A total of 66 participants, aged 50 years and above having femur fractures planned for surgery were included in this study and assigned to the control (n = 33) and study (n = 33) groups through computer-generated random numbers. The control group was kept fasting from midnight to the next morning as in existence while the study group was intervened with carbohydrate loading according to the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol. The pre-operative nutritional status was identified and the postoperative outcomes were measured using the Visual Analogue Score (VAS), Cumulative Ambulatory Score (CAS), and Modified Barthel Index (MBI) scoring systems. Statistical analyses were performed using the Chi-square test and the Student's two-sample t-test to compare the outcomes between the two groups. RESULTS All the participants completed the study. There was a significant reduction in the average postoperative pain in the carbohydrate loading group (VAS: 4.8 (SD ± 1.8), 95% CI: 4.7-5.4) as compared to the control group (VAS: 6.1 (SD ± 2.1), 95% CI: 5.3-6.8). The average CAS showed a significant improvement in regaining the mobility function of participants in the study group (CAS: 8.1 (SD ± 2.8), 95% CI: 7.1-9.1) than that of the control group (CAS: 6.8 (SD ± 2.8), 95% CI: 5.8-7.8). The mean MBI score of the participants at the time of discharge from the hospital was higher in the study group (MBI:13.1 (SD ± 2.3), 95% CI: 12.2-13.9) compared to the control group (MBI: 11.8 (SD ± 3.1), 95% CI:10.6-12.9). Similarly, the length of hospital stay after surgery had decreased in the study group than in the control group. CONCLUSIONS The uptake of carbohydrate loading showed reduced post-operative pain, enhanced functional mobility, and decreased length of hospital stay. This study warrants larger trials to show the effect of pre-operative carbohydrate loading in a clinical setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a global surgery quality improvement program associated with improved clinical outcomes across the spectrum of disciplines, including gynecologic oncology. The objective of this study was to re-survey the practice of ERAS Gynecologic Oncology guidelines across Canada, after the initial guidelines publication (2016), subsequent guidelines update (2019), and Society of Gynecologic Oncology of Canada (GOC) education events. METHODS A survey was created and developed through the GOC Communities of Practice ERAS section and distributed to all members between March and November 2021. The results of this survey were compared with the survey performed in 2015 RESULTS: The initial GOC survey in 2015 included 77/92 active gynecologic oncologists (84%) representing all provinces in Canada. The current updated survey had responses from 59/118 active gynecologic oncologists (51%) also from every province. Compared with the original survey there was a statistically significant improvement in uptake of 10 ERAS recommendations: smoking/alcohol cessation, modern fasting guidelines (allowance of clear fluids and solid food pre-operatively), carbohydrate loading, pre-operative warming, early feeding, post-operative laxative use, avoidance of nasogastric tubes and abdominal drains, foley catheter removal at 6 hours, and active mobilization (all p<0.003). Only two fields (stopping oral contraceptive medications pre-operatively and foley catheter removal post-operative day 1) showed worsening uptake across the two surveys (p<0.01). The ERAS recommendations that did not change in the examined time frame included routine use of mechanical bowel preparation, venous thromboembolism prophylaxis, pre-operative antibiotics, and additional antibiotic dosing for prolonged surgery. CONCLUSIONS This survey demonstrates increased uptake of 10 of the ERAS guideline recommendations among Canadian gynecologic oncology providers. These findings may translate to improvements in clinical outcomes and healthcare system-level benefits including increased hospital capacity and cost savings.

Abstract
Cerrahi travma, oluşturduğu nörohormonal stres yanıtla homeostazı tehdit eden katabolik bir süreç başlatır. Cerrahi travma sonrası derlenme, yalnızca teknik cerrahi becerilere değil, aynı zamanda hastanın metabolik durumunun ve uygun beslenme desteğinin sağlanmasına da bağlıdır. Beslenme, ameliyat sonrası derlenme açısından önemli olmasına rağmen cerrahi hastalarda sıklıkla göz ardı edilmektedir. Açlık ve cerrahi stres, katabolik reaksiyonu başlatarak organ disfonksiyonuna, yara iyileşmesinde gecikmeye, ameliyat sonrası enfeksiyonlara morbidite ve mortalite artışına, hastane yatışında uzamaya ve maliyet artışına neden olmaktadır. Perioperatif süreçte beslenme ile ilişkili komplikasyonların önlenmesinde kanıt temelli doğru beslenme uygulamaları olumlu hasta sonuçlarını desteklemektedir. Ameliyat sürecinde güncel yaklaşımlar ve kanıta dayalı uygulamalar ile hastanın doğru beslenmesi sağlanarak, katabolizmanın azaltılması ve anabolizmanın desteklenmesi ile ameliyat sonrası daha hızlı bir iyileşme sağlanabilir. Cerrahi hastasının beslenmesi multidisipliner bir ekip yaklaşımını gerektirir. Cerrahi stres sürecinin azaltılmasında multidisipliner ekipte anahtar rolü olan hemşireler, güncel beslenme önerileri çerçevesinde hastanın beslenmesini optimal düzeyde desteklemelidirler. Bu derlemenin amacı, cerrahi girişim geçiren hastada beslenme yönetiminin önemini vurgulamak, perioperatif süreçte doğru beslenmeyi güncel uygulamalarla ortaya koymaktır.

Abstract
Objective To investigate and analyze the effect of fast track surgery (FTS) based on nutritional support on the improvement of rehabilitation efficacy and nutritional status of patients after radical lumpectomy for thyroid cancer. Methods Eighty-six patients admitted to our hospital for radical lumpectomy for thyroid cancer between April 2018 and April 2021 were selected, of which 40 patients admitted between April 2018 and April 2019 were included in the control group with conventional perioperative care. Forty-six patients admitted between May 2019 and April 2021 were included in the trial group with FTS care based on nutritional support. The two groups of patients were compared in terms of postoperative feeding time, length of stay, time out of bed, VAS scores, albumin (ALB), total protein (TP) and prealbumin (PA) levels, negative emotions [Mental Health Test Questionnaire (DCL-90)], quality of life [General Quality of Life Inventory (GQOLI-74)] and complication rates. Results The patients in the trial group had shorter feeding time, hospitalization time and time out of bed than the control group (P < 0.05). After the intervention, ALB, TP and PA levels were higher in the trial group than in the control group vs. preoperatively (P < 0.05); VAS scores in the trial group were lower than VAS scores in the control group during the same period (P < 0.05). The postoperative DCL-90 scores of the trial group were lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05); the GQOLI-74 scores and total scores of the trial group were higher than those of the control group at the 3-month postoperative follow-up (P < 0.05). The overall incidence of complications such as hoarseness, choking on water, hand and foot numbness, wound infection, and hypocalemia was lower in the trial group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The implementation of FTS care based on nutritional support for patients after endoscopic radical thyroidectomyr can effectively improve the postoperative recovery and reduce their pain level, as well as help improve their nutritional status, negative emotions and improve their quality of life, which is worth promoting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgery is the recommended treatment for uterine leiomyoma but it still has issues like postoperative complications and slow recovery. The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol could probably reduce traumatic stress and promote the rapid postoperative recovery of patients, but there are controversies for the results of different studies. This meta-analysis was performed to resolve the controversies and provide evidence for the application of ERAS in gynecology. METHODS The PubMed, Embase, Ovid, CNKI (China), Wanfang Data (China), and Google Scholar databases were searched to recruit all studies on the application of ERAS in laparoscopic myomectomy up to November 2021. The inclusion criteria of studies was established according to the PICOS principles. the Cochrane RoB 2.0 and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) scale were used to assess the bias of the studies, RevMan 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis. RESULTS Ten studies that met the criteria were finally included with 1,441 participants. Eight of them were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and two were cohort studies, all of them were with low level of bias. Meta-analysis showed that ERAS protocol after laparoscopic myomectomy could significantly shorten the first time getting out of bed after surgery [mean difference (MD) =-4.85; 95% confidence interval (CI): (-7.35, -2.36); P=0.0001], the first defecation time after surgery [MD =-4.69; 95% CI: (-5.68, -3.69); P<0.00001], and the postoperative hospital stay [MD =-1.32, 95% CI: (-2.08, -0.56); P=0.0007]. It could also markedly reduce the patient readmission rate [odds ratio (OR) =0.42; 95% CI: (0.23, 0.76); P=0.004], and notably reduced the incidence of complications [OR =0.37; 95% CI: (0.22, 0.61); Z=3.82; P=0.0001]. Yet, the cost of the ERAS protocol was not significantly different from that of routine care [MD =-127.76, 95% CI: (-997.19, 741.66); P=0.77]. DISCUSSION The application of ERAS protocol after gynecological laparoscopic myomectomy can shorten the first defecation time, first time out of bed, hospital stay, and reduce the readmission rate as well as the incidence of postoperative complications, without additional costs. But still there was heterogeneity among the studies, the topic still deserved further exploration.

Abstract
Gynecologic surgery encompasses over a quarter of inpatient surgical procedures for US women, and current projections estimate an increase of the US female population by nearly 50% in 2050. Over the last decade, US hospitals have embraced enhanced recovery pathways in many specialties. They have increasingly been used in multiple institutions worldwide, becoming the standard of care for patient optimization. According to the last updated enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) guideline published in 2019, there are several new considerations behind each practice in ERAS protocols. This article discusses the most updated evidence regarding ERAS programs for gynecologic surgery.

Malnutrition as a risk factor for post-operative morbidity in gynecologic cancer: Analysis using a national surgical outcomes database. Gynecol Oncol 2022; 165:309-316. [PMID: 35241292 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2022.01.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2021] [Revised: 01/18/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess, using a national surgical outcomes database, the association of various malnutrition definitions with post-operative morbidity in three gynecologic malignancies. METHODS Patients undergoing resection of ovarian, uterine, or cervical cancer between 2005 and 2019 were identified using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database. Patients were classified based on specific, pre-defined malnutrition criteria: severe malnutrition (Body Mass Index (BMI) <18.5 + 10% weight loss), European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism ((ESPEN1); BMI 18.5-22 + 10% weight loss), ESPEN2 (BMI < 18.5), American Cancer Society ((ACS); normal/overweight BMI + 10% weight loss), mild malnutrition (BMI 18.5-22), or albumin (<3.5 g/dL). Outcomes included 30-day major complications, readmission, reoperation. Modified Poisson regression estimated associations between definitions and outcomes. RESULTS Of 76,290 total patients undergoing surgery, those meeting malnutrition definitions were: severe-98 (0.1%), ESPEN1-148 (0.2%), ESPEN2-877 (1.1%), ACS-1028 (1.3%), mild-2853 (3.7%), and albumin (11.1%). Complication rates were: unplanned readmission-5.5%, reoperation-1.7%, major complications-13.5%. For ovarian cancer, ESPEN2 malnutrition was associated with higher readmissions (risk ratio 1.69; 95% confidence interval 1.29-2.20), reoperations (2.53; 1.70-3.77), and complications (1.36; 1.20-1.54). For uterine cancer, ACS malnutrition was associated with readmissions (2.74; 2.09-3.59), reoperations (3.61; 2.29-5.71) and complications (3.92; 3.40-4.53). For cervical cancer, albumin<3.5 g/dL was associated with readmissions (1.48; 1.01-2.19), reoperations (2.25; 1.17-4.34), and complications (2.59; 2.11-3.17). Albumin<3.5 was associated with adverse outcomes in ovarian and uterine cancer. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative risk assessments might be tailored using cancer-specific malnutrition criteria. Major complications, readmissions, and reoperations are all associated with the ESPEN2 definition for ovarian cancer, the ACS definition for uterine cancer, and with albumin<3.5 for all cancers.

Abstract
Introduction In Kampala, Uganda, there is a strong cultural practice for patients to have designated caregivers for the duration of hospitalization. At the same time, nursing support is limited. This quality improvement project aimed to standardize caregiver and nursing perioperative care on the gynecologic oncology wards at the Uganda Cancer Institute and Mulago Specialised Women and Neonatal Hospital. Methods We developed, implemented, and evaluated a multidisciplinary intervention involving standardization of nursing care, patient education, and family member integration from October 2019 - July 2020. Data were abstracted from medical records and patient interviews pertaining to the following outcomes: 1) pain control; 2) post-operative surgical site infections, urinary tract infections, and pneumonia; 3) nursing documentation of medication administration, pain quality, and vital sign assessments, and 4) patient and caregiver education. Descriptive statistics, Fisher's exact test, and independent samples t-test were applied. Results Data were collected from 25 patients undergoing major gynecologic procedures. Pre- (N = 14) and post- (N = 11) intervention comparison demonstrated significant increases in preoperative patient education (0% to 80%, p = 0.001) and utilization of a comprehensive postoperative order form (0% to 45.5%, p = 0.009). Increased frequency in nursing documentation of patient checks (3 to 8, p = 0.266) and intraoperative antibiotic administration (9 to 10, p = 0.180) in patient charts did not reach significance. There was no change in infection rate, pain score utilization, caregiver documentation, or preoperative medication acquisition. Conclusion Our findings suggest that patient- and family-centered perioperative care can be improved through standardization of nursing care, improved education, and integration of caregivers in a nursing-limited setting.

Abstract
Sufficient postoperative dietary intake is crucial for ensuring a better surgical outcome. This study aimed to investigate the postoperative dietary intake achievement and predictors of postoperative dietary intake among gynecologic cancer patients. A total of 118 participants were included in this secondary analysis. Postoperative dietary data was pooled and re-classified into early postoperative dietary intake achievement (EDIA) (daily energy intake (DEI) ≥ 75% from the estimated energy requirement (EER)) and delay dietary intake achievement (DDIA) (DEI < 75% EER) There was a significant difference in postoperative changes in weight (p = 0.002), muscle mass (p = 0.018), and handgrip strength (p = 0.010) between the groups. Postoperative daily energy and protein intake in the EDIA was significantly greater than DDIA from operation day to discharged (p = 0.000 and p = 0.036). Four significant independent postoperative dietary intake predictors were found: preoperative whey protein-infused carbohydrate loading (p = 0.000), postoperative nausea vomiting (p = 0.001), age (p = 0.010), and time to tolerate clear fluid (p = 0.016). The multilinear regression model significantly predicted postoperative dietary intake, F (4, 116) = 68.013, p = 0.000, adj. R2 = 0.698. With the four predictors’ recognition, the integration of a more specific and comprehensive dietitian-led supportive care with individualized nutrition intervention ought to be considered to promote functional recovery.

Abstract
Background Opioid sparing anesthesia and enhanced recovery after surgery protocols are not innovative ideas. However, the utilization of pancreaticoduodenectomy is limited. With the rise in awareness of the opioid epidemic in the United States, we have created a multimodal approach to anesthesia and postoperative care to limit adverse effects of opioids and curb the use of opioids postoperatively. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study performed by chart review of an opioid-sparing anesthetic and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol initiated jointly by the anesthesiology departments and transplant surgery for pancreaticoduodenectomy from January 2017 to October 2019. Results Demographic data was found to be comparable between the control and protocol groups. Hospital length of stay, ICU length of stay, and opioid requirements significantly decreased in the protocol group. Hospital length of stay decreased from 8.92 to 5.72 days, ICU days decreased from 1.52 to 0.42 days, and narcotics for the first five hospital days were significantly decreased from 130.13 to 71.2 morphine milligram equivalents. Conclusion Proper postoperative pain management can improve patient satisfaction and decrease complication rates. Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a complicated procedure with relatively limited data regarding enhanced recovery after surgery protocols. Likewise, there is limited data regarding opioid-sparing anesthesia techniques. Our protocol produced promising hospital length of stay and reduced opioid administration during the first five hospital days without increasing 30-day readmission rates.

Clinical application of preserving spontaneous breathing non-intubation anesthesia in thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer under ERAS concept. Asia Pac J Clin Oncol 2021; 18:e329-e337. [PMID: 34818467 DOI: 10.1111/ajco.13726] [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: 08/22/2021] [Accepted: 10/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the safety and feasibility of thoracoscopic surgery in patients with lung cancer under non-intubation anesthesia, and to evaluate the advantages of the non-intubation anesthesia compared with intubation anesthesia on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted in which 100 patients who underwent thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery from January 2020 to February 2021 in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were included and divided into non-intubation group (n = 50) and intubation group (n = 50). The primary outcome was the comparison of intra- and postoperative parameters. Secondary outcomes included inflammatory response indicators and intra- and postoperative complications. RESULTS There was no significant difference between the two groups in anesthesia effect score, blood loss, lowest pulse oxygen saturation, operation time, postoperative chest tube indwelling time (P > 0.05). Non-intubation group had less intraoperative remifentanil dosage, less change of blood pressure and heart rate, lower postoperative pain numerical score(NRS), less medical costs, smaller incidence rate of throat discomfort (P < 0.05). The non-intubation group was also associated with less extubation time, postanesthesia care unit recovery time, ambulation time, food intake time, postoperative antibiotic use time, and hospital stay (P < 0.05). The increase of C-reactive protein in the non-intubation group was lower than that in the intubation group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Non-intubation anesthesia for thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery is safe and feasible. Compared with the intubation anesthesia, it has advantages in ERAS and reducing medical costs.

Abstract
Malnutrition is associated with dismal treatment outcomes in older patients but its impact in geriatric surgery has not been studied extensively. Herein, we report the prevalence of malnutrition risk, its risk factors and its association with postoperative outcomes in older patients undergoing operations of general surgery. This is a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database including patients older than 65 years who were to undergo general surgery operations between 2012 and 2017. The Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) was used for nutritional risk. Demographics, socioeconomic data, site and magnitude of the operation, various measures of comorbidity and functional dependence as well as postoperative complications based on Clavien–Dindo classification and length of stay were recorded. There were 501 patients. A total of 28.6% of them were at intermediate malnutrition risk (MUST = 1) and 14.6% were at high malnutrition risk (MUST ≥ 2). Variables independently associated with malnutrition risk (MUST ≥ 1) were smoking (Odds Ratio, OR:1.6, p = 0.041), upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract surgery (OR:20.4, p < 0.001), hepatobiliary-pancreatic surgery (OR:3.7, p = 0.001), lower GI surgery (OR:5.2, p < 0.001) and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class III/IV (OR:2.8, p = 0.001). In the multiple regression analysis adjusted for several confounding variables, the MUST score was significantly associated with postoperative death (OR:9.1, p = 0.047 for MUST = 1 and OR:11.9, p = 0.035 for MUST score ≥ 2) and postoperative hospital stay (adjusted incidence rate ratio, 1.3, p = 0.041 for MUST = 1 and 1.7, p < 0.001 for MUST ≥ 2). Malnutrition risk was highly prevalent in this sample, particularly in patients with operations of the gastrointestinal tract, in patients with poor physical status and it was associated with postoperative mortality and length of stay.

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

Abstract
Background and Objectives: The programs of enhanced recovery after surgery are the new revolution in surgical departments; however, features of this concept have not been systematically explored. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS)-related research using bibliometric analysis. Materials and Methods: The search strategy of ERAS programs was conducted in the Web of Science database. Bibliometric analysis was further performed by Excel and Bibliometrix software. The relationship between citation counts and Mendeley readers was assessed by linear regression analysis. Results: 8539 studies from 1994-2019 were included in the present research, with reporting studies originating from 91 countries using 18 languages. The United States (US) published the greatest number of articles. International cooperation was discovered in 82 countries, with the most cooperative country being the United Kingdom. Henrik Kehlet was found to have published the highest number of studies. The journal Anesthesia and Analgesia had the largest number of articles. Linear regression analysis presented a strong positive correlation between citations and Mendeley readers. Most research was related to gastrointestinal surgery in this field. Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis shows the current status of ERAS programs from multiple perspectives, and it provides reference and guidance to scholars for further research.

Abstract
The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a pathway designed to achieve early recovery for patients undergoing major surgery. The ERAS pathway included three important components preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative program. Pre-habilitation and re-habilitation are of paramount importance to improve patients' care. The ERAS is based on evidence-based medicine. Accumulating evidence highlighted that adopting ERAS resulted in lower complication rate, and shorter length of hospital stay in comparison to standard protocols of care. The adoption of the ERAS resulted in a significant improvement of patients' outcomes and a reduction of the overall cost of care. In the present review, we summarized current evidence on ERAS, focusing on the steps useful for its adoption into clinical practice.
