Impact of complexity in minimally invasive liver surgery on enhanced recovery measures: prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adherence to enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols is crucial for successful liver surgery. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of minimally invasive liver surgery complexity on adherence after implementing an ERAS protocol.

Methods

Between July 2018 and August 2021, a prospective observational study involving minimally invasive liver surgery patients was conducted. Perioperative treatment followed ERAS guidelines and was recorded in the ERAS interactive audit system. Kruskal-Wallis and ANOVA tests were used for analysis, and pairwise comparisons utilized Wilcoxon rank sum and Welch's t-tests, adjusted using Bonferroni correction.

Results

A total of 243 patients were enrolled and categorized into four groups based on the Iwate criteria: low (n = 17), intermediate (n = 81), advanced (n = 74) and expert difficulty (n = 71). Complexity correlated with increased overall and major morbidity rate, as well as longer length of stay (all P < 0.001; standardized mean difference = 0.036, 0.451, 0.543 respectively). Adherence to ERAS measures decreased with higher complexity (P < 0.001). Overall adherence was 65.4%. Medical staff-centred adherence was 79.9%, while patient-centred adherence was 38.9% (P < 0.001). Complexity significantly affected patient-centred adherence (P < 0.001; standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.420), but not medical staff-centred adherence (P = 0.098; SMD = 0.315). Postoperative phase adherence showed major differences among complexity groups (P < 0.001, SMD = 0.376), with mobilization measures adhered to less in higher complexity cases.

Conclusion

The complexity of minimally invasive liver surgery procedures impacts ERAS protocol adherence for each patient. This can be addressed using complexity-adjusted cut-offs and 'gradual adherence' based on the relative proportion of cut-off values achieved.

Project description:Objectives: Having achieved a consolidated in-hospital experience with enhanced recovery after cardiac surgery, we explored the feasibility of expanding our protocol to pre-admission and post-discharge periods. Methods: A multidisciplinary team including cardiac surgeons, anaesthetists/intensivists, physiatrists, physiotherapists, perfusionists, nurses, psychiatrists, and engineers, elaborated a new therapeutic offer, based on current ERAS evidence and using telerehabilitation, to enhance preoperative communication and education and improve pre- and postoperative health and psychological state. Results: An institutional web-based platform for remote rehabilitation will host digital content that covers three main areas, including information and communication, prehabilitation and rehabilitation with the offer of respiratory and muscular exercises and aerobic activities, and psychological and patient experience evaluations. These interventions will be achieved through purposely developed video tutorials that present the hospital environments, the relevant healthcare personnel, and their role during the in-hospital patient's journey, and illustrate tailored prehabilitation activities. A series of questionnaires will be administered to evaluate and follow the patient's psychological state and collect patient-reported experience measures. The platform was activated in September 2024 and this service will initially involve 100 patients undergoing minimally invasive mitral valve surgery. A first review of compliance and engagement will be carried out after four months and a complete review of the results after the first year. Conclusions: ERAS is associated with improved surgical outcomes. A person-centred treatment should also address the health and psychological difficulties that patients face before hospitalisation and after discharge. Telemedicine is a valid tool to expand treatment and monitoring outside the hospital. This experience may give new insights into the feasibility and effectiveness of providing home-based remote interventions aimed at a global improvement in results throughout the overall cardiac surgery journey.

Project description:Objectives: Although previous studies have shown the feasibility of non-intubated techniques, it is unknown whether avoiding urinary catheters can enhance recovery. This study aimed to determine whether the tubeless urinary catheter protocol is feasible and beneficial for minimally invasive lung surgery. Methods: Patients were randomized to the control group, completely tubeless group, and partially tubeless group. A propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis was performed to balance the non-random baseline characteristics. Complications and postoperative recovery were compared. Regression analysis was performed to identify the independent predictors of complications. A nomogram for predicting the risk of non-automatic micturition was constructed and internally validated. Results: One hundred fifty-nine patients were enrolled. The incidence rates of urinary irritation and urinary tract infection (UTI) were significantly lower in the tubeless groups (74.4 vs. 39.5%, p < 0.001; 28.2 vs. 8.6%, p = 0.001, respectively). The tubeless group had a higher proportion of 0-degree discomfort (81.5 vs. 30.8%, p = 0.001) and shorter duration of postoperative hospital stay than the control group (4.59 vs. 5.53 days, p < 0.001). No difference was observed in terms of urination retention and urinary incontinence between the tubeless group and the control group. After PSM, the advantages of the tubeless group still existed, and comparing to the partially tubeless group, the completely tubeless group was of even less UTI and more 0-degree discomfort (18.5 vs. 0.0%, p = 0.019; 96.3 vs. 59.3%, p = 0.002). The tubeless protocol was the only independent protective factor of urinary complications. A nomogram was constructed and showed good predictive ability. Conclusions: The tubeless catheterization protocol led to fewer complications, better compliance, and shorter hospital length of stay. The advantages were more significant with the completely tubeless protocol. The utility of our nomogram can assist clinicians in avoiding risks in performing the tubeless protocol.

Project description:BackgroundEnhanced Recovery After Surgery Programs (ERP) includes multimodal approaches of perioperative patient's clinical pathways designed to achieve early recovery after surgery and a decreased length of hospital stay (LOS).MethodsThis observational study evaluated the implementation of ERP in gynaecologic oncological surgery in a minimally invasive techniques (MIT) expert center with more than 85% of procedures done with MIT. We compared a prospective cohort of 100 patients involved in ERP between December 2015 and June 2016 to a 100 patients control group, without ERP, previously managed in the same center between April 2015 and November 2015. All the included patients were referred for hysterectomy and/or pelvic or para-aortic lymphadenectomy for gynaecological cancer. The primary objective was to achieve a significant decrease of median LOS in the ERP group. Secondary objectives were decreases in proportion of patients achieving target LOS (2 days), morbidity and readmissions.ResultsExcept a disparity in oncological indications with a higher proportion of endometrial cancer in the group with ERP vs. the group without ERP (42% vs. 22%; p = 0.003), there were no differences in patient's characteristics and surgical procedures. ERP were associated with decreases of median LOS (2.5 [0 to 11] days vs. 3 [1 to 14] days; p = 0.002) and proportion of discharged patient at target LOS (45% vs. 24%; p = 0.002). Morbidities occurred in 25% and 26% in the groups with and without ERP and readmission rates were respectively of 6% and 8%, without any significant difference.ConclusionERP in gynaecologic oncological surgery is associated with a decrease of LOS without increases of morbidity or readmission rates, even in a center with a high proportion of MIT. Although it is already widely accepted that MIT improves early recovery, our study shows that the addition of ERP's clinical pathways improve surgical outcomes and patient care management.
