Enhanced recovery after surgery pathways benefit patients with soft pancreatic texture following pancreaticoduodenectomy - 08/06/20

Abstract |
Background |
We aimed to compare the enhanced recovery after surgery pathway with the standard perioperative care protocol concerning complications, postoperative length of stay and 1-year survival rate.
Methods |
Using a before–after cohort study design, data from patients with pancreatic head cancer, who consecutively underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy, were retrospectively collected.
Results |
Compared to the control group, patients with soft pancreas in the enhanced recovery after surgery group had a lower incidence of delayed gastric emptying (36.7% vs 13.3%, P = 0.026) and respiratory complications (46.7% vs 20.0%, P = 0.028), and shorter postoperative length of stay (All: 10.9 ± 3.4 d vs13.5 ± 3.8 d, P = 0.002; Soft: 11.2 ± 3.8 d vs14.0 ± 4.5 d, P = 0.001). The 1-year survival rates were similar between the groups.
Conclusion |
The enhanced recovery after surgery pathways can significantly reduce the incidence of certain surgical complications and decrease the postoperative length of stay. It does not affect 1-year survival.
