Functional recovery after gastrectomy can be achieved after about 5 days in patients undergoing ERAS.
Female sex, old age, and total gastrectomy are factors that delay normal functional recovery after gastrectomy. Self-reported postoperative recovery in children after tonsillectomy compared to tonsillotomy. Tonsil surgery is associated with significant morbidity during recovery. Patient-reported outcome measures PROM are the golden standard for the planning and follow-up of delivered care, which should also be an axiom for children. The current aims were to describe self-reported postoperative recovery in children after tonsil surgery, and to compare tonsillotomy and tonsillectomy in this respect.
Postoperative recovery was assessed on days 1, 4 and 10 using the validated self-rating instrument PRiC, Postoperative Recovery in Children. This includes 23 items covering different aspects of recovery after tonsil surgery. A higher score indicates worse status in the respective items.
Daily life activities sleeping, eating and playing , physical symptoms e. The TE-girls showed higher scores than the boys regarding stomach ache, defecation and dizziness. Children above 6 years of age reported higher values for the physical comfort variables, while the younger group showed worse emotional states.
Postoperative recovery improved from day in all surgical groups. The TE-group showed lower recovery compared to the TT-group p postoperative management is to minimize or eliminate discomfort, facilitating the recovery process and avoiding complications. Children are able to describe their recovery , and thus, PRiC seems to be able to serve as a PROM to obtain patient-centered data after tonsil surgery. The recovery process after TT causes less postoperative.
Prospective observational cohort study. The aim of this study was to analyze the efficacy of diffusion tensor imaging DTI anisotropy indices in predicting the postoperative recovery in cervical spondylotic myelopathy CSM patients and to describe postoperative changes in the DTI indices based on neurological recovery after surgery.
DTI indices were found to have good sensitivity to detect changes in CSM, but their efficacy in predicting postoperative recovery and postoperative changes in DTI indices has not been studied before. Thirty-five patients who underwent surgical decompression for cervical spondylotic myelopathy underwent DTI evaluation preoperatively and postoperatively at 12 months.
DTI indices-fractional anisotropy, apparent diffusion coefficient ADC , relative anisotropy, volume ratio, and eigen vectors E1, E2, and E3 -were obtained and clinical evaluations were made preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively. Twenty-six patients were available for final follow-up at 12 months. Twenty patients showed improvement by at least 1 Nurick grade, five maintained the preoperative Nurick grade status and one patient was noted to have deterioration by 1 grade.
The preoperative DTI values could not predict neurological recovery patterns postoperatively. Although conventional MRI showed adequate decompression in all patients irrespective of the clinical outcome, DTI indices showed variable results.
Effect of chewing gum on the postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal function. Postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction remains a source of morbidity and the major determinant of length of stay after abdominal operation. There are many different reasons for postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction such as stress response, perioperative interventions, bowel manipulation and so on.
The mechanism of enhanced recovery from postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction with the help of chewing gum is believed to be the cephalic-vagal stimulation of digestion which increases the promotability of neural and humoral factors that act on different parts of the gastrointestinal tract.
Recently, there were a series of randomized controlled trials to confirm the role of chewing gum in the recovery of gastrointestinal function. The results suggested that chewing gum enhanced early recovery of bowel function following abdominal surgery expect the gastrointestinal surgery. However, the effect of chewing gum in gastrointestinal surgery was controversial.
Evaluation of postoperative recovery in day surgery patients using a mobile phone application: a multicentre randomized trial. Many patients undergoing anaesthesia and surgery experience postoperative complications.
Our aim was to investigate whether a systematic follow-up smartphone-based assessment, using recovery assessment by phone points RAPP compared with standard care, had a positive effect on day surgery patients' postoperative recovery. We also investigated whether there were differences in women and men's recovery and recovery scores.
The study was a single-blind, multicentre randomized controlled trial. A total of patients were randomly allocated to either RAPP or standard care. The Swedish web version of a quality of recovery SwQoR questionnaire was used to evaluate the patients' postoperative recovery , either on paper or using an application RAPP on postoperative days seven and Both men and women in the RAPP group reported significantly better values and, hence good postoperative recovery compared with the control group in the items sleeping difficulties; not having a general feeling of wellbeing and pain in the surgical wound.
Measurement of patient-reported outcomes using a smartphone-based application was associated with decreased discomfort from several postoperative symptoms. Systematic e-assessment can thereby increase patients' quality of recovery and identify key areas for improvement in perioperative care. Sumatriptan improves postoperative quality of recovery and reduces postcraniotomy headache after cranial nerve decompression.
Background Microvascular decompression MVD is a surgical treatment for cranial nerve disorders via a small craniotomy. The postoperative pain of this procedure can be classified as surgical site somatic pain and postcraniotomy headache similar in nature to a migraine, including its association with photophobia, nausea, and vomiting.
This headache can be difficult to treat and can impact on postoperative recovery. Sumatriptan is used to treat migraine-like headaches in various settings.
This single-centre randomized controlled trial investigated whether postoperative administration of sumatriptan after MVD surgery impacts the quality of postoperative recovery. Methods Fifty patients who complained of postoperative headache after MVD were randomized to receive an s.
The primary outcome was quality of recovery as measured by the Quality of Recovery QoR score at 24 h. Results The QoR scores were significantly higher in the sumatriptan group median ; interquartile range — than in the placebo group ; —; P recovery. The sumatriptan group also had significantly lower headache scores at 4, 12, and 24 h. There were no significant differences in other secondary outcomes. Conclusions Use of sumatriptan improved the quality of recovery as measured by the QoR and reduction of headache at 24 h after surgery.
Sumatriptan is a useful alternative treatment for postcraniotomy headache. The mechanism remains unknown but could be related to reduction in headache, mood modulation, or both, mediated by a serotonin effect.

Methods: 71 subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups. The 34 patients of research group were treated with postoperative precision nutrition treatment according to the indirect energy measurement method. The 31 patients of control group were treated with traditional postoperative nutrition treatment. Moreover, the difference between two groups in short-term effects were evaluated.
Results: The daily energy supply of control group was Moreover, the complication rate and hospitalization costs of in research group were significantly lower than that of in control group P Postoperative precision nutrition therapy may improve the postoperative nutritional status and short-term effects of patients with AGC after NC.
The effect of sugammadex on postoperative cognitive function and recovery. Sugammadex is the first selective relaxant binding agent. When compared with neostigmine, following sugammadex administration patients wake earlier and have shorter recovery times. In this study, we hypothesized that fast and clear awakening in patients undergoing general anesthesia has positive effects on cognitive functions in the early period after operation.
Approved by the local ethical committee, patients were enrolled in this randomized, prospective, controlled, double-blind study. After baseline assessment h before the operation. The time to reach TOF 0. However, better cognitive performance could not be proved in the Sugammadex compared to the Neostigmine. Published by Elsevier Editora Ltda. Identification of clinical outcome measures for recovery of gastrointestinal motility in postoperative ileus.
To identify clinical hallmarks associated with recovery of gastrointestinal transit. Impaired gastrointestinal transit or postoperative ileus largely determines clinical recovery after abdominal surgery. However, validated clinical hallmarks of gastrointestinal recovery to evaluate new treatments and readiness for discharge from the hospital are lacking. Gastric emptying and colonic transit were scintigraphically assessed from postoperative day 1 to 3 in 84 patients requiring elective colonic surgery and were compared with clinical parameters.
The clinical hallmark that best reflected recovery of gastrointestinal transit was validated using data from a multicenter trial of segmental colectomy patients. Seven of 84 patients developed a major complication with paralytic ileus characterized by total inhibition of gastrointestinal motility and were excluded from further analysis. Chronic low-grade postoperative endophthalmitis in a child with Marfan syndrome.
On initial examination, his outside medical records indicated that he had bilateral subluxated lenses and had undergone left eye lensectomy with glued intrascleral fixation of an intraocular lens 8 weeks earlier.
Vision in left eye was poor from first postoperative day but with no undue pain or redness, and poor vision was attributed to possible vitreous bleed. Subsequent postoperative course was uneventful. He was discharged from ophthalmic care on topical steroids and antibiotic drops, one week postsurgery.
The eye was healing well until he developed pain, for which ophthalmic care was sought. He underwent anterior chamber tap with intravitreal injections. Aqueous samples were positive for Staphylococcus aureus DNA by polymerase chain reaction. Post vitrectomy and implant removal, his recovery was good and vision improved to 0. Use of an autologous liver round ligament flap zeros postoperative bile leak after curative resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Postoperative bile leak is a major surgical morbidity after curative resection with hepaticojejunostomy for hilar cholangiocarcinoma, especially in Bismuth-Corlette types III and IV.
This retrospective study assessed the effectiveness and safety of an autologous hepatic round ligament flap AHRLF for reducing bile leak after hilar hepaticojejunostomy. Main outcome measures included operative time, blood loss, postoperative recovery times, morbidity, bile leak, R0 resection rate, and overall survival. All patients underwent uneventful R0 resection with hilar hepaticojejunostomy. No patient experienced postoperative bile leak.
The AHRLF was associated with lack of bile leak after curative perihilar hepatectomy with hepaticojejunostomy for hilar cholangiocarcinoma, without compromising oncologic safety, and is recommended in selected patients.
Background Postoperative bile leak is a major surgical morbidity after curative resection with hepaticojejunostomy for hilar cholangiocarcinoma, especially in Bismuth-Corlette types III and IV. Results All patients underwent uneventful R0 resection with hilar hepaticojejunostomy. Conclusions The AHRLF was associated with lack of bile leak after curative perihilar hepatectomy with hepaticojejunostomy for hilar cholangiocarcinoma, without compromising oncologic safety, and is recommended in selected patients.
Peripheral platelet counts decrease after partial hepatectomy; however, the implications of this phenomenon are unclear. We enrolled consecutive patients who underwent partial hepatectomy for primary liver cancers, metastatic liver cancers, benign tumors, and donor hepatectomy.
Delayed liver function recovery and morbidity were significantly correlated with the lowest value of platelet percentage based on ROC analysis. In conclusion, the decrease in platelet counts is an early marker to predict the liver function recovery and complications after hepatectomy.
Low fat-containing elemental formula is effective for postoperative recovery and potentially useful for preventing chyle leak during postoperative early enteral nutrition after esophagectomy. Transthoracic esophagectomy using 3-field lymphadenectomy TTE-3FL for esophageal cancer is one of the most aggressive gastrointestinal surgeries. In the present study, we retrospectively examined esophageal cancer patients treated byTTE-3FL and administered postoperative EN to elucidate the validity of lowering the fat levels in elemental formulas to prevent postoperative chyle leak and improve postoperative recovery.
Patients were classified into two groups according to the type of postoperative EN: Group LF patients received a low-fat elemental formula, and Group F patients received a standard fat-containing polymeric formula. The following clinical factors were compared between the groups: EN start day, maximum EN calories administered, duration of respirator use, length of ICU stay, incidence of postoperative infectious complications, use of parenteral nutrition PN , and incidence of postoperative chyle leak.
Patients in Group LF were started on EN significantly earlier after surgery and they consumed significantly higher maximum EN calories compared to Group F patients P Postoperative chyle leak was observed in six patients in total 8. Early EN using low-fat elemental formula after esophagectomy with three-field lymphadenectomy was safe and valid for postoperative recovery and potentially useful in preventing chyle leak.
Neuronal stimulation improves physiological responses to infection and trauma, but the clinical potential of this strategy is unknown. We hypothesized that transdermal neural stimulation through low-frequency electroacupuncture might control the immune responses to surgical trauma and expedite the postoperative recovery.
However, the efficiency of electroacupuncture is questioned due to the placebo effect. Here, electroacupuncture was performed on anesthetized patients to avoid any placebo. This is a prospective double-blinded pilot trial to determine whether intraoperative electroacupuncture on anesthetized patients improves postoperative recovery.
Electroacupuncture prevented postoperative hyperglycemia and attenuated serum adrenocorticotropic hormone in the older and heavier group of patients. From an immunological perspective, electroacupuncture did not affect the protective immune responses to surgical trauma, including the induction of interleukin-6 and interleukin These results suggest that intraoperative electroacupuncture on anesthetized patients can reduce postoperative use of analgesics and improve immune and stress responses to surgery.
Published by Elsevier B. Evidence-based perianesthesia care: accelerated postoperative recovery programs. Prolonged stress response after surgery can cause numerous adverse effects, including gastrointestinal dysfunction, muscle wasting, impaired cognition, and cardiopulmonary, infectious, and thromboembolic complications.
These events can delay hospital discharge, extend convalescence, and negatively impact long-term prognosis. Recent advances in perioperative management practices have allowed better control of the stress response and improved outcomes for patients undergoing surgery.
At the center of the current focus on improved outcomes are evidence-based fast-track surgical techniques and what is commonly referred to as "accelerated postoperative recovery programs. Purpose To determine which factors affect the recovery of visual function in macula off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment RRD.
Methods In a prospective study of forty-five patients with a primary macula-off RRD of 24 hours to 6 weeks duration, the height of the macular detachment was determined by ultrasonography.
Results Macular detachment was present for 2—32 median 7 days before repair. Conclusion Functional recovery after macula-off RRD is affected by the duration and the height of the macular detachment.
Recovery of contrast acuity is also affected by age and BCVA at presentation. Trial registration: trialregister. Patients recovering from abdominal surgery who walked with volunteers had improved postoperative recovery profiles during their hospitalization.
Early walking as part of a perioperative care program benefits patients who have had surgery. However, the impact of early walking by itself on the mental and physical recovery of postoperative patients has not been examined. We established a program called walking to recovery WTR in which college volunteers provided walking assistance to patients recovering after abdominal surgery.
Patients who participated in the program were compared with patients who did not. The postoperative recovery profile survey PRP was administered on day of discharge to 15 participants and 15 non-participants. Medical records were reviewed to obtain indication for surgery, type of surgery, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications.
At 1 month post-discharge, a short form SF v2 questionnaire was administered by telephone to assess postoperative quality of life as defined by mental and physical level of function and measured with the mental component score MCS and the physical component score PCS. The average age of participants and non-participants was similar When the two groups were approximately matched by type and severity of surgery, participants had lower PRP composite scores 9.
The mean immobilization score was significantly lower in participants 0. Postoperative length of stay and MCS did not differ between the two groups, but in participants there was a trend for higher scores in the PCS. Walking with volunteers was associated with a better PRP during the hospitalization period but not at 1 month follow-up. The WTR program is a sustainable, cost-effective model program for other hospitals to emulate as part of the standard of care of postoperative patients.
Patient age, refractive index of the corneal stroma, and outcomes of uneventful laser in situ keratomileusis. To determine the influence of age and the corneal stromal refractive index on the difference between the predicted and actual postoperative refractive error after laser in situ keratomileusis LASIK and whether the precision of outcomes could be improved by considering age and the refractive index. Case series. Flaps were created using a mechanical microkeratome.
The stromal refractive index was measured using a VCH-1 refractometer after flap lifting. Refractive data were obtained 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. The mean age, refractive index, and applied corrections were The predicted outcomes of LASIK can be improved by inputting the refractive index of the individual corneal stroma.
Published by Elsevier Inc. Acupuncture for post anaesthetic recovery and postoperative pain: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
We report on the design and implementation of a study protocol entitled Acupuncture randomised trial for post anaesthetic recovery and postoperative pain - a pilot study ACUARP designed to investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy performed in the perioperative period on post anaesthetic recovery and postoperative pain. The study is designed as a randomised controlled pilot trial with three arms and partial double blinding.
We will compare a press needle acupuncture, b no treatment and c press plaster acupressure in a standardised anaesthetic setting. Seventy-five patients scheduled for laparoscopic surgery to the uterus or ovaries will be allocated randomly to one of the three trial arms.
The total observation period will begin one day before surgery and end on the second postoperative day. Twelve press needles and press plasters are to be administered preoperatively at seven acupuncture points.
The primary outcome measure will be time from extubation to 'ready for discharge' from the post anaesthesia care unit in minutes. The 'ready for discharge' end point will be assessed using three different scores: the Aldrete score, the Post Anaesthetic Discharge Scoring System and an In-House score. Secondary outcome measures will comprise pre-, intra- and postoperative variables which are anxiety, pain, nausea and vomiting, concomitant medication.
The results of this study will provide information on whether acupuncture may improve patient post anaesthetic recovery. Comparing acupuncture with acupressure will provide insight into potential therapeutic differences between invasive and non-invasive acupuncture techniques. NCT First received: 28 October Knee surgery recovery : Post-operative Quality of Recovery Scale comparison of age and complexity of surgery. Ongoing validation includes studies to determine whether this scale can discriminate differences in recovery between cohorts.
Patients were assessed using the PQRS. Assessments were performed pre-surgery, at 15 and 40 min, 1 and 3 days, and 3 months after surgery. The effect of age was assessed by comparing young versus older arthroscopy patients. Knee replacement had a large effect on recovery compared with knee arthroscopy. Age had minimal effect on recovery after knee arthroscopy. The study showed the ability of the PQRS to discriminate recovery in different domains.
Gastrointestinal tract recovery in patients undergoing bowel resection: results of a randomized trial of alvimopan and placebo with a standardized accelerated postoperative care pathway. To investigate the efficacy and safety of alvimopan, 12 mg, administered orally 30 to 90 minutes preoperatively and twice daily postoperatively in conjunction with a standardized accelerated postoperative care pathway for managing postoperative ileus after bowel resection.
This multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, phase 3 trial enrolled adult patients undergoing partial bowel resection with primary anastomosis by laparotomy and scheduled to receive intravenous, opioid-based, patient-controlled analgesia. A standardized accelerated postoperative care pathway including early ambulation, oral feeding, and postoperative nasogastric tube removal was used to facilitate gastrointestinal GI tract recovery in all of the patients.
The primary end point was time to GI-2 recovery toleration of solid food and first bowel movement. Secondary end points included time to GI-3 recovery toleration of solid food and first flatus or bowel movement , hospital discharge order written, and actual hospital discharge. Postoperative length of hospital stay based on calendar day of hospital discharge order written, opioid consumption, and overall postoperative ileus-related morbidity were recorded.
Opioid consumption was comparable between groups, and alvimopan was associated with reduced postoperative ileus-related morbidity compared with placebo. Alvimopan, 12 mg, administered 30 to 90 minutes before and twice daily after bowel resection is well tolerated, accelerates GI tract recovery , and reduces postoperative.
