Abstract
Background and objectives: Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) can be associated with prolonged hospital stays. A novel Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) based on ERAS Society guidelines was designed and implemented. The primary outcome was ERAS compliance. Secondary outcomes included length of stay (LOS) and postoperative complications.
Methods: A retrospective study on patients who underwent CRS/HIPEC between 2018 and 2022, with ERAS implementation in 2022. Health records were reviewed. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon tests, Student t-test, and χ2 and binomial negative regression. Health Ethics Research Board approval was obtained.
Results: Eighty patients underwent CRS/HIPEC: 59 in the pre-ERAS group and 21 in the post-ERAS group. Groups were similar in age, comorbidities, and Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Index. ERAS compliance increased from 32.8% to 70.8% (p < 0.001). Median LOS decreased from 14 to 9 days (p < 0.001). Comparing pre-ERAS to post-ERAS showed no significant difference in the major morbidity rate (13.6% vs. 9.5%) or 30-day readmission (9.4% vs. 4.8%) and no mortalities. Controlling for patient characteristics, the mean LOS decreased by 6.94 days (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Implementation of an ERAS CRS/HIPEC program is safe and allows for improved compliance to ERAS protocols and a significant reduction in LOS.
