Impact of complexity in minimally invasive liver surgery on enhanced recovery measures: prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adherence to enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols is crucial for successful liver surgery. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of minimally invasive liver surgery complexity on adherence after implementing an ERAS protocol.

Methods

Between July 2018 and August 2021, a prospective observational study involving minimally invasive liver surgery patients was conducted. Perioperative treatment followed ERAS guidelines and was recorded in the ERAS interactive audit system. Kruskal-Wallis and ANOVA tests were used for analysis, and pairwise comparisons utilized Wilcoxon rank sum and Welch's t-tests, adjusted using Bonferroni correction.

Results

A total of 243 patients were enrolled and categorized into four groups based on the Iwate criteria
