Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) initially started in the early 2000s as a series of protocols to improve the perioperative care of surgical patients. They aimed to increase patient satisfaction while reducing postoperative complications and postoperative length of stay. Despite these protocols being widely adopted in many fields of surgery, they are yet to be adopted in pancreatic transplantation: a high-risk surgery with often prolonged length of postoperative stay and high rate of complications. We have analysed the literature in pancreatic and transplantation surgery to identify the necessary preoperative, intra-operative and postoperative components of an ERAS pathway in pancreas transplantation.

Abstract Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been accepted widely in the whole world. However, clinical effects of ERAS in China have not been systematically reported, and it is still unclear whether there is key component with the present ERAS program to secure enhanced recovery. Patients who were undergoing operations with ERAS program were included. All the perioperative information were collected via a website and a nomogram to predict postoperative complication was conducted. 950 subjects from 59 hospitals were included in this study. Illness of cardiovascular (22.6%) and endocrine system (11.1%) were the top two coexisted diseases preoperatively. The recovery time of ability of drinking water after surgery was 6 (4-8) h, and almost half of patients could do active exercises in bed within 6 h postoperatively. The overall incidence of complications within 1 month postoperatively was 11.1%. Preoperative creatinine and bilirubin, intraoperative maximum systolic blood pressure and NRS scores at rest at postoperative 3 days were independent risk factors for complications within 1 month postoperatively. However, minimally invasive surgery was associated with a decrease probability of the complications. This study firstly indicates preoperative hepatorenal function, intraoperative systolic blood pressure, minimally invasive surgery and postoperative pain control can independently influence the prognosis of surgical patients.

Introduction: The implementation of ERAS protocol can optimize patients after surgery, which in turn can reduce burdens both for patient and hospital. The purpose of this study is to describe the compliance and consistency of ERAS in the pre-operative period of surgery patients in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya. Methods: We conducted consecutive observation of major surgical patients for 4 weeks. The type of surgery observed was digestive, thoracic and cardiovascular, and gynecological surgery. The pre-operative period will be calculated for compliance based on the ERAS international protocol. All data of compliance presented descriptively.s.Results: A total of 36 major surgery patients of which 7 (19,4%) were digestive surgeries, 14 (38,9%) were thoracic and cardiovascular surgeries, and 15 (41,7%) were gynecological surgeries. Overall compliance of the ERAS protocol in the pre-operative period of major surgery patients was 91%. The compliance of ERAS protocol in the pre-operative period of digestive surgery patients was 80%, in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery patients was 93,4% and gynecologic surgery patients was 84.3%. Major surgery patients with ≥90% compliance was 25%. Digestive surgery patients with ≥90% compliance was 0%. Thoracic and cardiovascular surgery patients with ≥90% compliance was 64,3%. Gynecologic surgery patients with ≥90% compliance was 0%.Conclusion: : Pre-operative elements of ERAS protocol in major surgery including digestive, thoracic and cardiovascular, and gynecologic surgery in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya needs to be improved.

Surgical wound complications remain a major cause of morbidity; although usually not life threatening, they reduce the quality of life. They are also associated with excessive health care costs. Wound healing is affected by many factors – wound characteristics, infection, comorbidities and nutritional status of the patient. In addition, though, psychological stress and depression may decrease the inflammatory response required for bacterial clearance and so delay wound healing, as well. Although the patient´s state of mind can be influenced only to a certain extent, we should nevertheless stick to ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) guidelines and try to diminish fear and anxiety by providing enough information preoperatively, pay due attention to postoperative analgesia and seek to provide an agreeable environment.
