ABSTRACT: Objectives
Current recommendations regarding enhanced recovery programs (ERPs) after complete cytoreductive surgery (CCRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are based on a low level of evidence. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of implementing an adapted ERP for CCRS and HIPEC in a referral center.Methods
We conducted a study with a prospective group of 44 patients (post-ERP group) who underwent CCRS with HIPEC between July 2016 and June 2018, the period during which ERP was implemented. This group was compared to a second retrospective group of 21 patients who underwent CCRS with HIPEC between June 2015 and June 2016, during which ERP was not yet implemented (pre-ERP group).Results
The ERP compliance rate was 65% in the post-ERP group. The hospital length of stay (HLS) was shorter in the post-ERP group: 24.9 days (IQR 11-68, pre-ERP group) vs. 16.1 days (IQR 6-45, post-ERP group), as was the major morbidity rate (pre-ERP group=33.3% vs. post-ERP group=20.5%). The nasogastric tube, urinary catheter and abdominal drains were all retrieved faster in the post-ERP group.Conclusions
The implementation of an adapted ERP after CCRS with HIPEC procedures reduces morbidity and shortens the HLS.
