Guidelines for Perioperative Care for Pancreaticoduodenectomy: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) Society Recommendations

TLDR
Evidence-based guidelines provide the necessary platform upon which to base a unified protocol for perioperative care for pancreaticoduodenectomy and facilitates multi-institutional prospective cohort registries and adequately powered randomised trials.
Abstract
Protocols for enhanced recovery provide comprehensive and evidence-based guidelines for best perioperative care. Protocol implementation may reduce complication rates and enhance functional recovery and, as a result of this, also reduce length-of-stay in hospital. There is no comprehensive framework available for pancreaticoduodenectomy. An international working group constructed within the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) Society constructed a comprehensive and evidence-based framework for best perioperative care for pancreaticoduodenectomy patients. Data were retrieved from standard databases and personal archives. Evidence and recommendations were classified according to the GRADE system and reached through consensus in the group. The quality of evidence was rated “high”, “moderate”, “low” or “very low”. Recommendations were graded as “strong” or “weak”. Comprehensive guidelines are presented. Available evidence is summarised and recommendations given for 27 care items. The quality of evidence varies substantially and further research is needed for many issues to improve the strength of evidence and grade of recommendations. The present evidence-based guidelines provide the necessary platform upon which to base a unified protocol for perioperative care for pancreaticoduodenectomy. A unified protocol allows for comparison between centres and across national borders. It facilitates multi-institutional prospective cohort registries and adequately powered randomised trials.

Early Versus Late Oral Refeeding After Pancreaticoduodenectomy for Malignancy: a Comparative Belgian-French Study in Two Tertiary Centers.

TL;DR: Early postoperative oral feeding after PD was associated with a shorter hospital stay and did not increase severe postoperative morbidity or the rate of pancreatic fistula, however, it resulted in more chyle leaks anddid not prevent delayed gastric emptying.

Correlation of postoperative fluid balance and weight and their impact on outcomes.

TL;DR: POD 2 weight may represent an easy and pragmatic tool to optimize fluid management and help to prevent fluid-related postoperative complications.

Effect of enhanced recovery after surgery protocol on recovery after open hepatectomy: a randomized clinical trial

TL;DR: This trial did not demonstrate greater efficacy of the ERAS protocol following open hepatectomy in terms of the MFD and LOHS, however, the ERas protocol was associated with better recovery from postoperative gastrointestinal paresis, suggesting that it is useful for patients undergoing open hepATEctomy.

Lessons learned from 300 consecutive pancreaticoduodenectomies over a 25-year experience: the “safety net” improves the outcomes beyond surgeon skills

TL;DR: Evaluating the importance of surgical and hospital experience on outcomes by comparing postoperative results in three different hospitals with increasing resources for supporting the same surgical team found that a multidisciplinary pancreatic team represents the “safety net” of pancreatic surgeon because it improves the results beyond the surgeon skills and experience.

Audit and feedback: effects on professional practice and healthcare outcomes

TL;DR: The results indicated that feedback may be more effective when baseline performance is low, the source is a supervisor or colleague, it is provided more than once, and the role of context and the targeted clinical behaviour was assessed.
