The impact of intraoperative goal-directed fluid therapy on complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Introduction: Optimal fluid balance is critical to minimize anastomotic edema in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. We examined the effects of decreased fluid administration on rates of postoperative pancreatic leak and delayed gastric emptying.

Methods: Retrospective study of 105 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy at a single institution from January 2015 through July 2016.

Current State of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery in Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery.

For over two decades, enhanced recovery pathways have been implemented in many surgical disciplines, most notably in colorectal surgery. Since 2001, the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Study Group has developed a main protocol comprising 24 evidence-based core items. While these core items unite similar preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative principles across surgical subspecialties, variations and modifications exist to these core items based on unique considerations for each surgical subspecialty.
