Optimizing Perioperative Care in Esophageal Surgery: The EUropean PErioperative MEdical Networking (EUPEMEN) Collaborative for Esophagectomy.

ABSTRACT: Despite advancements in surgery, esophagectomy remains one of the most challenging and complex gastrointestinal surgical procedures, burdened by significant perioperative morbidity and mortality rates, as well as high financial costs. Recognizing the need for standardized care provided by a multidisciplinary healthcare team, the EUropean PErioperative MEdical Networking (EUPEMEN) initiative developed a dedicated protocol for perioperative care of patients undergoing esophagectomy, aiming to enhance recovery, reduce morbidity, and homogenize care delivery across European healthcare systems. Developed through a multidisciplinary European collaboration of five partners, the protocol incorporates expert consensus and the latest scientific evidence. It addresses the entire perioperative pathway
