Enhanced recovery after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer / 中华普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the safety and effectiveness of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods From January 2014 to December 2015,167 gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy were divided into the enhanced recovery after surgery group (ERASG,67 cases) and 102 cases the conventional surgery group (CSG,102 cases).The general status,tumor stage,postoperative recovery,complications,hospitalization time and 30 day readmission were compared between ERASG and CSG.Results The first exhaust time in ERASG and CSG were (2.6 ± 1.1) days and (3.8 ± 1.3) days (t =-6.494,P ＜ 0.01).Statistical analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the postoperative hospitalization time,30 day readmission rate,complications,anastomotic leakage,wound infection,pneumonia,gastric retention and intestinal obstruction between of ERASG and CSG (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Patients in ERASG have quicker postoperative recovery than those in CSG,with similar postoperative complications.
