Outcomes of Enhanced Recovery Protocol versus Traditional Methods after Gastrointestinal Surgical Operations

Enhanced recovery program versus traditional care after hepatectomy

To assess the safety and efficacy of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) as compared with the traditional care in patients undergoing liver surgery and optimization of enhanced recovery programs.Literature, until August 2016, was searched to identify the comparative studies evaluating preoperative hospital stay time, complications, and C-reactive protein (CRP). Pooled odds ratios (OR) or wei...

Enhanced Recovery Program Versus Traditional Care in Laparoscopic Hepatectomy

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has shown effectiveness in terms of reducing the hospital stay and cost associated with open liver resection. However, the benefit of ERAS in patients undergoing laparoscopic liver resection is still unclear, and clinical studies on this topic are limited.The ERAS program for laparoscopic liver resection was used in a group of 80 patients (ERAS group). The...

Enhanced recovery after surgery versus perioperative surgical home: is it all in the name?

Outcomes of an enhanced recovery after surgery programme for pancreaticoduodenectomy.

BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has demonstrated in colorectal surgery a reduction in morbidity and length of stay without compromising security. Experience with ERAS programs in pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is still limited. The aims of this study were first to evaluate the applicability of an ERAS program for PD patients in our hospital, and second to analyze the postoperative...

Current Status of Surgical Planning for Orthognathic Surgery: Traditional Methods versus 3D Surgical Planning

BACKGROUND Orthognathic surgery has traditionally been performed using stone model surgery. This involves translating desired clinical movements of the maxilla and mandible into stone models that are then cut and repositioned into class I occlusion from which a splint is generated. Model surgery is an accurate and reproducible method of surgical correction of the dentofacial skeleton in cleft a...
