Abstract
BACKGROUND Robotic donor nephrectomy (RDN) has emerged as a safe alternate to laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN), offering improved visualization, instrument dexterity and ergonomics. There is still concern about how to safely transition from LDN to RDN. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of 150 consecutive living donor operations (75 LDN and 75 RDN) at our center, comparing the first 75 RDN's with the last 75 LDN's performed prior to the initiation of the robotic transplant program. Operative times and complications were used as surrogates of efficiency and safety, respectively, to estimate the learning curve with RDN. RESULTS RDN was associated with a longer total operative time (RDN 182 vs LDN 144 min; P < 0.0001) but a significantly shorter post-operative length of stay (RDN 1.8 vs LDN 2.1 days; P = 0.0213). Donor complications and recipient outcomes were the same between both groups. Learning curve of RDN was estimated to be about 30 cases. CONCLUSIONS RDN is a safe alternate to LDN with acceptable donor morbidity and no negative impact on recipient outcomes even during the early part of the RDN learning curve. Surgeon preferences for the robotic approach compared to traditional laparoscopy will require further scrutiny to improve ergonomics and operative efficiency.

The Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) Pathway Is a Safe Journey for Kidney Transplant Recipients during the "Extended Criteria Donor" Era. Pathogens 2022; 11:pathogens11101193. [PMID: 36297249 PMCID: PMC9610733 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens11101193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2022] [Revised: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 10/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are still underused in kidney transplantation (KT) due to recipients’ “frailty” and risk of postoperative complications. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of ERAS in KT during the “extended-criteria donor” era, and to identify the predictive factors of prolonged hospitalization. In 2010−2019, all patients receiving KT were included in ERAS program targeting a discharge home within 5 days of surgery. Recipient, transplant, and outcomes data were analyzed. Of 454 KT [male: 280, 63.9%; age: 57 (19−77) years], 212 (46.7%) recipients were discharged within the ERAS target (≤5 days), while 242 (53.3%) were discharged later. Patients within the ERAS target (≤5 days) had comparable recipient and transplant characteristics to those with longer hospital stays, and they had similar post-operative complications, readmission rates, and 5 year graft/patient survival. In the multivariate analysis, DGF (HR: 2.16, 95% CI: 1.08−4.34, p < 0.030) and in-hospital dialysis (HR: 3.68, 95% CI: 1.73−7.85, p < 0.001) were the only predictive factors for late discharge. The ERAS approach is feasible and safe in all KT candidates, and its failure is primarily related to the postoperative graft function, rather than the recipient’s clinical status. ERAS pathways, integrated with strict collaboration with local nephrologists, allow early discharge after KT, with clinical benefits.

Abstract
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are designed to reduce medical complications, the length of hospital stays (LoS), and healthcare costs. ERAS is considered safe and effective for kidney transplant (KTx) surgery. KTx recipients are often frail with multiple comorbidities. As these patients follow an extensive diagnostic pathway preoperatively, the ERAS protocol can ideally be implemented at this stage. Small singular changes in a long perioperative pathway can result in significant positive outcomes. We have investigated the current evidence for an ERAS pathway related to anaesthetic considerations in renal transplant surgery for adult recipients.

Abstract
Objective To determine whether an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) nutrition protocol is reasonably possible among our head and neck cancer (HNC) population with respect to system feasibility and patient compliance. Second, we aim to identify improvements in patient outcomes as a result. Methods Preexperimental research design among patients undergoing major HNC surgery after implementation of the ERAS nutrition protocol from July 2018 to July 2019 as quality improvement (QI). Preoperative clinical nutritional assessment and laboratory values were completed the same day as informed surgical consent in the clinic. Protocol focus was patient consumption of nutritional supplements perioperatively, monitored by our outpatient dietitian. Early postoperative enteral nutrition was initiated with monitoring of nutritional laboratory values. To support our model, we provide preliminary analysis of HNC patient outcomes after implementation of the ERAS nutritional protocol. Results Twenty-five patients were enrolled. Preoperatively, 40% of patients were malnourished, and 100% complied with perioperative nutrition supplementation. Health care provider compliance obtaining preoperative laboratory values was 56%. There was a strong negative correlation between modified Nutrition-Related Index (mNRI) and number of complications (P = .01), specifically, fistula rate (P = .04) and unplanned reoperation (P = .04). Enrolled patient average length of stay was 7 ± 4.4 days. Discussion Our patients demonstrated compliance with implementation of an ERAS nutrition protocol likely facilitated by dietitian engagement. mNRI potentially reflects risk for head and neck surgery complications. Implications for Practice QI processes demand reassessment and modification to ensure efficient and targeted approaches to improving patient care.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) against traditional perioperative care for renal transplant recipients. Outcome measures included complications, length of stay (LOS), readmission rates, graft and patient survival up to one-year post-transplant. We initially screened Medline, Cochrane, Scopus, Embase and Web of Science databases. We identified 3029 records. From these, 114 full texts were scrutinized for inclusion. Finally, 10 studies were included in the meta-analysis corresponding to 2037 renal transplant recipients. ERAS resulted in lower incidence of urological complications (95CI: 0.276, 0.855) (I2 = 53.08%) compared to traditional perioperative practice. This referred to ureteric stenoses (95CI: 0.186–0.868) (I2 = 0%) and urinary tract infections (95CI: 0.230–0.978) (I2 = 71.55%). ERAS decreased recipients’ LOS (95CI: −2.876, −0.835) (I2 = 86.55%). Compared to standard practice, ERAS protocols did not increase unplanned readmissions (95CI:0.800, 1.680) (I2 = 0%). Up to one-year post-transplant, graft survival rates were similar across the ERAS and the control groups (95CI:0.420, 1.722) (I2 = 0%). There was also no difference in recipients’ one-year post-transplant survival (95CI:0.162, 3.586) (I2 = 0%). Our results suggest that ERAS protocols can be safely incorporated in the perioperative care of renal transplant recipients, decrease their urological complications and shorten their length of hospital stay without affecting unplanned readmission rates.

The FRAILMar Study Protocol: Frailty in Patients With Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease Awaiting Kidney Transplantation. A Randomized Clinical Trial of Multimodal Prehabilitation. Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:675049. [PMID: 34095178 PMCID: PMC8170320 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.675049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2021] [Accepted: 04/16/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Frailty is very frequent among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are awaiting deceased donor kidney transplantation (KT), and transplant outcomes are worsened in those frail recipients. Frailty and poor fitness powerfully predict mortality, kidney graft survival, and healthcare utilization after KT. Intervention is essential to improve survival and quality of life for frail CKD patients, regardless of their age. Studies of post-transplant physical therapy intervention have been met with limited success, in large part due to high dropout rates. A pre-transplant clinical framework for multimodal prehabilitation interventions including physical therapy, nutritional measures, and psychological support scheduled during the KT waiting list period may improve patient retention and compliance, better mitigate the effects of frailty and poor fitness after KT, and improve main outcomes in frail CKD patients. Main Objective: To study the effectiveness, feasibility, and safety of multimodal prehabilitation (exercise, nutritional plans, psychological advice) in KT candidates. Methods: Randomized controlled clinical trial in 38 frail and 76 non-frail KT candidates. The prehabilitation program will consist of physical exercise (24 sessions, 8 weeks), nutritional supplementation, and psychological advice. The primary endpoint will be a composite achievement of clinical and functional main outcomes in frail and non-frail KT candidates at 90 days post-transplantation. Secondary outcomes include changes in exercise capacity, physical activity, gait speed, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, muscle size, body composition, performance in activities of daily living (basic and instrumental), anxiety and depression symptoms, and health-related quality of life. Feasibility of the intervention will be also analyzed. Expected Results: Multimodal prehabilitation is a feasible and effective intervention to decrease bad outcomes at 90 days post-KT by 25 and 12.5% in frail and non-frail patients, respectively. Clinical Trial Registration:clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04701398), date: 2021, January 8th (Protocol version: Frailmar_vers2).

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
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) initially started in the early 2000s as a series of protocols to improve the perioperative care of surgical patients. They aimed to increase patient satisfaction while reducing postoperative complications and postoperative length of stay. Despite these protocols being widely adopted in many fields of surgery, they are yet to be adopted in pancreatic transplantation: a high-risk surgery with often prolonged length of postoperative stay and high rate of complications. We have analysed the literature in pancreatic and transplantation surgery to identify the necessary preoperative, intra-operative and postoperative components of an ERAS pathway in pancreas transplantation.

Abstract
Background: Optimal intra-operative fluid therapy in renal transplantation (RT) is essential to ensure adequate graft function while preventing fluid overload related complications. This RCT was to compare the intraoperative goal directed fluid therapy (GDFT) based either on corrected flow time (CFT), measured by trans oesophageal Doppler (TED) or on the stroke volume variation (SVV), by FloTrac in patients undergoing living donor RT. Methods: This prospective, randomised controlled trial (RCT) was done on 60 end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, American Society of Anaesthesiologists(ASA) grade III–IV, age 18 to 65 years of either sex, scheduled for living donor RT under general anaesthesia. They were randomly divided into two groups: TED group (n = 30) and FloTrac™ group (n = 30) and administered GDFT, based upon CFT (TED) and SVV (FloTrac™). The primary outcome was to compare the total fluid and number of fluid boluses administered intraoperatively, while the secondary outcomes were to compare any postoperative complications due to fluid overload and allograft function, assessed by serial serum creatinine levels up to 90 days postoperatively. Results: The mean total intra-operative fluid [3991.67 ± 856.32 vs. 3543.33 ± 1131.35, P = 0.089] and the amount of fluid administered per kg body weight per hour [13.32 ± 4.67 vs. 11.82 ± 4.76, P = 0.222] were lesser in the FloTrac compared to TED group, though not statistically significant. However, the postoperative incidence of allograft dysfunction, including rejection (P = 0.743) and acute tubular necrosis (ATN) (P = 0.999), and other complications (P = 0.643) were comparable. Conclusions: Both TED and FloTrac devices can be used effectively to guide GDFT in RT, However, lesser total fluid was required in the FloTrac group, which may lead to a lesser number of fluid-related postoperative complications.

Abstract
Adequate intravenous fluid therapy is essential in renal transplant recipients to ensure a good allograft perfusion. Central venous pressure (CVP) has been considered the cornerstone to guide the fluid therapy for decades; it was the only available simple tool worldwide. However, the revolutionary advances in assessing the dynamic preload variables together with the availability of new equipment to precisely measure the effect of intravenous fluids on the cardiac output had created a question mark on the future role of CVP. Despite the critical role of fluid therapy in the field of transplantation. There are only a few clinical studies that compared the CVP guided fluid therapy with the other modern techniques and their relation to the outcome in renal transplantation. Our work sheds some light on the available published data in renal transplantation, together with data from other disciplines evaluating the utility of central venous pressure measurement. Although lager well-designed studies are still required to consolidate the role of new techniques in the field of renal transplantation, we can confidently declare that the new techniques have the advantages of providing more accurate haemodynamic assessment, which results in a better patient outcome.
