Abstract
Introduction: The relationship between the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines and inflammatory markers in laparoscopic surgery has garnered increasing attention. These recommendations are designed to minimize surgical stress and potentially improve recovery outcomes by modifying perioperative care.
Objective: This scoping review aims to evaluate the impact of ERAS recommendations on inflammatory markers in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries, identifying current research gaps and consolidating findings from existing studies.
Methods: Guided by the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews and adhering to the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, this review analyzed studies from databases like PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library. We included both randomized controlled trials and observational studies that assessed inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cells (WBC), and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in laparoscopic surgery patients managed with ERAS recommendations.
Results: Out of 64 initial studies, 7 met the inclusion criteria, involving a total of 2,047 patients. Most of the studies focused on laparoscopic colorectal surgeries. Commonly assessed markers were CRP and WBC. The findings consistently showed that ERAS guideline could mitigate the inflammatory response, evidenced by reduced levels of CRP and IL-6, which correlated with fewer postoperative complications and expedited recovery.
Conclusion: ERAS recommendations appear to beneficially modulate inflammatory responses in laparoscopic surgery, which suggests a potential for enhanced recovery outcomes. However, the evidence is currently limited by the small number of studies and inherent methodological biases. Further robust RCTs are required to strengthen the evidence base and refine these protocols for broader clinical application.
期刊介绍:
Evidence of surgical interventions go back to prehistoric times. Since then, the field of surgery has developed into a complex array of specialties and procedures, particularly with the advent of microsurgery, lasers and minimally invasive techniques. The advanced skills now required from surgeons has led to ever increasing specialization, though these still share important fundamental principles.
Frontiers in Surgery is the umbrella journal representing the publication interests of all surgical specialties. It is divided into several “Specialty Sections” listed below. All these sections have their own Specialty Chief Editor, Editorial Board and homepage, but all articles carry the citation Frontiers in Surgery.
Frontiers in Surgery calls upon medical professionals and scientists from all surgical specialties to publish their experimental and clinical studies in this journal. By assembling all surgical specialties, which nonetheless retain their independence, under the common umbrella of Frontiers in Surgery, a powerful publication venue is created. Since there is often overlap and common ground between the different surgical specialties, assembly of all surgical disciplines into a single journal will foster a collaborative dialogue amongst the surgical community. This means that publications, which are also of interest to other surgical specialties, will reach a wider audience and have greater impact.
The aim of this multidisciplinary journal is to create a discussion and knowledge platform of advances and research findings in surgical practice today to continuously improve clinical management of patients and foster innovation in this field.
