Purpose: Evaluation of a kidney-adjusted enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol (kERAS) in patients undergoing nephron-sparing surgery (PN).
Methods: The kERAS protocol is a multidimensional protocol focusing on optimized perioperative fluid and nutrition management as well as strict intraoperative and postoperative blood pressure limits. It was applied in a prospective cohort (n = 147) of patients undergoing open or robotic PN.
Article Synopsis
- * In healthcare, it can help with things like training surgeons using virtual worlds, planning surgeries with 3D models, and guiding surgeons during operations.
- * There are exciting possibilities ahead, like better patient care through monitoring and education, but we need to solve issues with data security before diving in fully.
Introduction: Simulation training programs are essential for novice surgeons to acquire basic experience to master laparoscopic skills. However, current state-of-the-art laparoscopy simulators are still expensive, limiting the accessibility to practical training lessons. Furthermore, training is time intensive and requires extensive spatial capacity, limiting its availability to surgeons.
