Background: Enhanced recovery protocols are becoming standard practice after major colorectal surgery. An increasing body of evidence suggests that early feeding should be encouraged; however, whether a clear liquid diet or solid diet should be given immediately after surgery is undetermined.
Objective: Evaluate whether regular diet was superior to clear liquid diet beginning on postoperative day 0 after major colorectal surgery.
Design: Superiority trial design.
Setting: Urban tertiary center.
Patients: Consecutive patients undergoing abdominal colorectal surgery from September 2017 to June 2018.
Interventions: Eligible patients received either 1) clear liquid diet on postoperative day 0 with advancement to regular diet on postoperative day 1 or 2) regular diet on postoperative day 0 and continuing for the duration of patients' recovery.
Main Outcome Measures: The primary end point was diet tolerance, defined by the absence of vomiting by postoperative day 2.
Results: A total of 105 patients were randomly assigned with 53 in the clear liquid diet group and 52 in the regular diet group. All randomly assigned patients were included in the analysis. The rate of diet tolerance by postoperative day 2 was similar between groups. Rates of ileus, antiemetic usage, narcotic usage, time to return of bowel function, and pain/nausea/bloating scores were similar between the 2 groups. Significantly more patients in the clear liquid diet group (91%) tolerated their diet than did the regular diet group (71%) on postoperative day 0 ( p = 0.01).
Limitations: Diet tolerance was only monitored during inpatient stay. The rate of postoperative ileus was difficult to capture as its clinical definition encompassed a wide range of symptoms.
Conclusions: Regular diet immediately after abdominal colorectal surgery was not superior to a clear liquid diet with respect to diet tolerance by postoperative day 2. Furthermore, starting regular diet on postoperative day 0 was not associated with any outcome benefits compared to clear liquid diet.
Ensayo Prospectivo Aleatorizado Sobre El Uso Postoperatorio Inmediato De Una Dieta Normal Versus Una Dieta De Lquidos Claros En Cirugas Mayores Colorrectales: ANTECEDENTES:Los protocolos de recuperación mejorada se están convirtiendo en una práctica estandarizada tras una cirugía mayor colorrectal. La creciente evidencia sugiere la alimentación temprana debe ser estimulada, sin embargo, no se ha determinado si se debe administrar una dieta de líquidos claros o una dieta sólida inmediatamente después de la cirugía.OBJETIVO:Evaluar si la dieta regular fue superior a la dieta de líquidos claros a partir del día cero del postoperatorio tras una cirugía mayor colorrectal.DISEÑO:Diseño de prueba de superioridad.AJUSTE:Centro terciario urbano.PACIENTES:Pacientes consecutivos sometidos a cirugía abdominal colorrectal desde septiembre de 2017 hasta junio de 2018INTERVENCIONES:Los pacientes elegibles recibieron ya sea 1) dieta de líquidos claros en el día 0 del postoperatorio con avance a la dieta regular en el día 1 del postoperatorio o 2) dieta regular en el día 0 del postoperatorio y continuaron durante la recuperación de los pacientes.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:El criterio principal de valoración fue la tolerancia a la dieta, definida por la ausencia de vómitos en el segundo día posoperatorio.RESULTADOS:Un total de 105 pacientes fueron aleatorizados con 53 en el grupo de dieta de líquidos claros y 52 en el grupo de dieta regular. Todos los pacientes aleatorizados fueron incluidos en el análisis. La tasa de tolerancia a la dieta en el segundo día postoperatorio fue similar entre los grupos. Las tasas de íleo, del uso de antieméticos, del uso de narcóticos, del tiempo de recuperación de la función intestinal y puntajes de dolor/náuseas/distensión abdominal fueron similares entre los dos grupos. Significativamente más pacientes en el grupo de dieta de líquidos claros (91%) toleraron su dieta comparada al grupo de dieta regular (71%) en el día postoperatorio 0 ( p = 0,01).LIMITACIONES:La tolerancia a la dieta solo fue monitorizada durante la estadía hospitalaria. La tasa de íleo postoperatorio fue difícil de registrar debido a que su definición clínica abarcaba una amplia variedad de síntomas.CONCLUSIONES:La dieta regular inmediatamente después de la cirugía abdominal colorrectal no fue superior a una dieta de líquidos claros con respecto a la tolerancia de la dieta en el día 2 del postoperatorio. Además, comenzar una dieta regular el día cero del postoperatorio no se asoció con ningún beneficio en los resultados en comparación con la dieta de líquidos claros. (Traducción-Dr. Osvaldo Gauto ).

Background: Malnutrition is common with esophagogastric cancers and is associated with negative outcomes. We aimed to evaluate if immunonutrition during neoadjuvant treatment improves patient's health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and reduces postoperative morbidity and toxicities during neoadjuvant treatment.
Methods: A multicenter double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) was undertaken.

Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the predictive utility of perioperative P-wave parameters in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) undergoing catheter ablation, and to develop a predictive model using these parameters.
Methods: A total of 213 patients with PAF undergoing catheter ablation were retrospectively analyzed. P-wave parameters were measured within 3 days preoperatively and on the day postoperatively to determine their predictive significance for postoperative PAF recurrence.

Objectives: we evaluated the hypothesis that level of ctHPVDNA on the first postoperative day (POD-1); and at 15 days (POD-15) could be associated with the need for adjuvant therapy and the presence of recurrence.
Materials And Methods: this is a prospective observational study on biomarkers, focusing on the longitudinal monitoring of ctHPVDNA in a cohort of HPV-OPSCC patients undergoing TORS. Blood samples were collected according to the following schema: (1) pretreatment; (2) on first postoperative day (POD 1); and (3) at 15 days (POD 15).

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) associated with major vasculature tumor extension is considered an advanced stage of disease to which palliative radiotherapy or chemotherapy is proposed. Surgical resection associated with chemotherapy or chemoembolization could be an opportunity to improve overall survival and recurrence-free survival in selected cases in a high-volume hepatobiliary center. Moreover, it has been 25 years since Couinaud described the entity of a posterior liver located behind an axial plane crossing the portal bifurcation.

This study aimed to investigate the role of myosteatosis, sarcopenia, and perioperative serum biomarkers as independent predictors of major complications within 180 days following radical cystectomy (RC) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). We retrospectively analyzed of 127 MIBC patients who underwent RC between 2013 and 2023 at a single institution. Preoperative body composition was assessed using CT scans at the L3 vertebral level to measure psoas muscle density (PMD), skeletal muscle density (SMD), axial muscle density (AMD), and muscle indices.
