Article Abstract
Background: The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol is an evidence-based perioperative care program aimed at reducing surgical stress response and accelerating recovery. However, a small proportion of patients fail to benefit from the ERAS program following pancreaticoduodenectomy. This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with failure of ERAS program in pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Methods: Between May 2014 and December 2017, 176 patients were managed with ERAS program following pancreaticoduodenectomy. ERAS failure was indicated by prolonged hospital stay, unplanned readmission or unplanned reoperation. Demographics, postoperative recovery and compliance were compared of those ERAS failure groups to the ERAS success group.
Results: ERAS failure occurred in 59 patients, 33 of whom had prolonged hospital stay, 18 were readmitted to hospital within 30 days after discharge, and 8 accepted reoperation. Preoperative American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score of ≥III (OR = 2.736; 95% CI: 1.276-6.939; P = 0.028) and albumin (ALB) level of <35 g/L (OR = 3.589; 95% CI: 1.403-9.181; P = 0.008) were independent risk factors associated with prolonged hospital stay. Elderly patients (>70 years) were on a high risk of unplanned reoperation (62.5% vs. 23.1%, P = 0.026). Patients with prolonged hospital stay and unplanned reoperation had delayed intake and increased intolerance of oral foods. Prolonged stay patients got off bed later than ERAS success patients did (65 h vs. 46 h, P = 0.012). Unplanned reoperation patients tended to experience severer pain than ERAS success patients did (3 score vs. 2 score, P = 0.035).
Conclusions: Patients with high ASA score, low ALB level or age >70 years were at high risk of ERAS failure in pancreaticoduodenectomy. These preoperative demographic and clinical characteristics are important determinants to obtain successful postoperative recovery in ERAS program.

Aims: The number of hip fractures is increasing, with significant mortality and morbidity, particularly among frail and comorbid patients. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways have proven effective in elective orthopaedics, but this has not been investigated in people with hip fractures. This study aimed to identify current perioperative practice and develop a cohesive ERAS pathway tailored for hip fracture patients, to standardize and optimize care.

Introduction/objectives: Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. While Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs optimize perioperative care, their effect on oncologic prognosis requires further validation. This study evaluates ERAS adherence and five-year survival through a post-hoc analysis of the POWER Study.

Background: The role of supplemental parenteral nutrition (SPN) following pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) in the context of an enhanced recovery program is unexplored. This study aimed to determine whether SPN is superior to early oral feeding alone in reducing postoperative complications.
Methods: This pragmatic, multicenter, randomized controlled, trial, across five centers in Italy, enrolled patients aged 18-89 years undergoing open PD for cancer.

Background And Objectives: Neurosurgical procedures can be associated with significant post-operative pain and diminished ability to ambulate or transfer, frequently requiring evaluation by physical / occupational therapy (PT/OT) to ensure appropriate discharge disposition. Owing to high demand for PT/OT services across surgical subspecialities, PT/OT evaluation often bottlenecks disposition. Through our established cranial Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathway, Neurosurgery Enhanced Recovery Value and Safety (NERVS), our institution employs a nurse-driven mobilization component during post-operative recovery.
