The 2024 Korean Enhanced Recovery After Surgery guidelines for hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery

Le résumé fourni par la source

Purpose: The Korean Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Committee within the Korean Society of Surgical Metabolism and Nutrition has developed comprehensive guidelines for hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HBP) surgery by adapting established international protocols. These guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations specifically tailored to the Korean healthcare system and address perioperative management for both pancreatoduodenectomy and hepatectomy.Methods: The HBP subcommittee reviewed existing international ERAS guidelines and conducted an adaptation process. Key questions were identified based on national survey results from Korean HBP surgeons and were prioritized according to clinical relevance. The committee focused on elements supported by moderate- to high-quality evidence with strong recommendation grades. Literature searches were conducted through January 2025, and evidence quality was evaluated using GRADE methodology. Four key questions underwent formal assessment, and eight additional questions were adapted from international guidelines.Results: Twelve key questions were selected and addressed, covering critical perioperative care domains: prehabilitation, preoperative nutritional assessment and support, anti-thrombotic prophylaxis, prophylactic abdominal drainage, preoperative biliary drainage, smoking and alcohol cessation, pre-anesthetic medication, minimally invasive surgical approaches, prophylactic nasogastric intubation, postoperative glycemic control, perianastomotic drainage management, and early mobilization protocols. Each recommendation was assigned specific evidence levels and graded for strength. High-quality evidence supported strong recommendations for the routine avoidance of prophylactic drainage in uncomplicated hepatectomy, early drain removal after pancreatoduodenectomy in low-risk patients, elimination of routine nasogastric decompression, and the implementation of early mobilization strategies.Conclusion: These Korean-adapted ERAS guidelines for HBP surgery are expected to standardize perioperative care, reduce postoperative complications, shorten hospital stays, and enhance overall patient outcomes across Korean healthcare institutions.
