Implementing Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocol in Patients Undergoing Minimal Invasive Esophagectomy

March 20, 2024 updated by: Khaled Hassaan Mohamed Hussein, Assiut University
Detect impact of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) on the outcomes of oesophageal surgery .

Study Overview

Detailed Description

esophagectomy for both malignant and benign disease has been identified as a particularly complex surgical procedure due to documented high levels of peri-operative morbidity and mortality.

A comprehensive review of complications associated with the esophagectomies performed in high-volume esophageal units utilizing a standardized format for documenting complications and quality measures has confirmed an overall complication rate of 59 % with 17.2% of patients sustaining complications of IIIb or greater utilizing the Clavien-Dindo severity grading system. post-operative complications include high rate of anastomotic leakage , pulmonary infection ,thoracic duct injury , voice changes , breathlessness ,long hospital stay.

These outcomes accentuate the need for providing an enhanced recovery after surgery standardized format for esophagectomy which can be routinely applied and audited to improve international outcomes. though ERAS lacking randomized control trials

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: Conventional group
patients of minimally invasive esophagectomy with standard of care approaches
standard of care approaches other than ERAS
Other: ERAS group
patients of minimally invasive esophagectomy with enhanced recovery after surgery protocol
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) refers to patient-centered, evidence-based, multidisciplinary team developed pathways for a surgical specialty and facility culture to reduce the patient's surgical stress response, optimize their physiologic function, and facilitate recovery.
