Purpose Of Review: Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) refers to a patient centered, multidisciplinary team developed pathway aimed at reducing the surgical stress response and facilitating expedited patient postoperative recovery. These protocols have been largely developed in the general surgery literature and have led to vast improvements in the patient experience. With a growing shortage of hospital resources during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic there has been a growing push to apply these principles to a wide variety of specialties.
Recent Findings: ERAS protocols are generally substantiated on three phases along the continuum of surgical care: preadmission optimization, intraoperative treatment, and postoperative management. In this article, the evidence for ERAS development in craniomaxillofacial surgery will be reviewed, and recommendations from prior studies for enhanced recovery will be outlined.
Summary: ERAS protocols have been proven effective in many surgical arenas, however, modification is needed for the craniomaxillofacial population. The implications for widespread implementation of ERAS protocols during these procedures are a potentially shortened length of stay, expedited early return to function, reduction in narcotic dependence, and reduction in postdischarge complications necessitating additional intervention.

Application of Robot-assisted Pancreaticobiliary Junction Resection in Benign Duodenal Tumors.

Robot-assisted pancreaticobiliary junction resection is a surgical technique employed to treat benign duodenal tumors. The procedure involves several key steps: making a longitudinal incision in the duodenum, excising the tumor at the pancreaticobiliary junction, inserting a biliary stent, connecting the biliary and duodenal mucosa, and suturing the duodenal incision during phase I. The robotic system enhances visibility, facilitates precise operations, minimizes duodenal traction injuries to the duodenum and surgical trauma, ensures accurate suture and fixation of bile duct stents, connects the bile duct and duodenal mucosa and reduces postoperative recovery time.

Introduction: Bowel regimens (BR) before radical cystectomy (RC) are currently not recommended by Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols, as prior studies have shown BRs lead to worsened outcomes. However, many of those studies have used historic literature before recent surgical advancements such as minimally invasive RC and have not investigated the impact BRs have by type of urinary diversion. Our goal is to determine the outcomes of preoperative BR in patients undergoing RC based on diversion type using a modern patient cohort.
