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.

Prognostic Impact of Time to Surgery in Patients With Resectable Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.

TL;DR: Delaying surgery 30 days or more after diagnostic computed tomography scan was not associated with poorer OS and recurrence-free survival, and time to surgery was not prognostic of OS.

When is it safe for the liver donor to be discharged home and prevent unnecessary re‐hospitalizations? – A systematic review of the literature and expert panel recommendations

TL;DR: Monitoring and prevention of donor complications should be crucial in decision making of discharge and Transient Impaired liver function, a prognostic marker of outcome after liver resection, usually occurs after donor right hepatectomy and should be monitored.

Perioperative strategy for severe nutritional risk-related frail patients.

TL;DR: It is proposed that a more in-depth analysis of the literature and clarification of the association between congenital hepatic fibrosis, Caroli disease, and Caroli syndrome with renal tubular ectasia and renal cystic diseases, along with an accurate description of the affected genes and modes of inheritance, would significantly strengthen their publication.

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.
