J Gynecol Obstet Hum Reprod 2024; 53:102771. [PMID: 38513805 DOI: 10.1016/j.jogoh.2024.102771] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to evaluate the implementation of an ERAS programme for deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE) surgery in terms of length of stay (LOS), postoperative complications (POC) and rehospitalisation rate. METHODS This was a comparative retrospective monocentric study in the Gynaecologic Department of the La Conception Hospital in Marseille, France. We compared a 'conventional' group, with classic perioperative management corresponding to patients undergoing DPE surgery between April 8, 2014 and January 23, 2018, and an 'ERAS' group after setting up the ERAS protocol from February 6, 2018 to March 6, 2020. RESULTS A total of 101 patients with DPE surgery were included, with 39 in the conventional group and 53 in the ERAS group. The LOS decreased by 1.91 days (p < 0.001). During the 45 postoperative days, no difference was found in rehospitalised rate (p = 1). The POC rate was 15/39 (38.5 %) in the conventional group and 12/53 (22.6 %) in the ERAS group (p = 0.1). CONCLUSION The implementation of an ERAS programme for DPE surgery is an effective strategy because it can reduce the LOS without increasing the POC rate.

Abstract
Frailty is a complex and multisystem biological process characterized by reductions in physiological reserve. It is an increasingly common phenomena in the surgical population, and significantly impacts postoperative recovery. In this review, we will discuss the pathophysiology of frailty, as well as preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative considerations for frailty care. We will also discuss the different models of postoperative care, including enhanced recovery pathways, as well as elective critical care admission. With discoveries of new effective interventions, and advances in healthcare information technology, optimized pathways could be developed to provide the best care possible that meets the challenges of perioperative frailty.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer is the fifth most common cancer among French women and occurs most frequently in the over-70-year-old population. Recent years have seen a significant shift towards minimally invasive surgery and Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols in endometrial cancer management. However, the impact of ERAS on endometrial cancer has not been well-established. We conducted a prospective observational study in a comprehensive cancer center, comparing the outcomes between endometrial cancer patients who received care in an ERAS pathway (261) and those who did not (166) between 2006 and 2020. We performed univariate and multivariate analysis. Our primary objective was to evaluate the impact of ERAS on length of hospital stay (LOS), with the secondary objectives being the determination of the rates of early discharge, post-operative morbidity, and rehospitalization. We found that patients in the ERAS group had a significantly shorter length of stay, with an average of 3.18 days compared to 4.87 days for the non-ERAS group (estimated decrease -1.69, p < 0.0001). This effect was particularly pronounced among patients over 70 years old (estimated decrease -2.06, p < 0.0001). The patients in the ERAS group also had a higher chance of early discharge (47.5% vs. 14.5% in the non-ERAS group, p < 0.0001), for which there was not a significant increase in post-operative complications. Our study suggests that ERAS protocols are beneficial for the management of endometrial cancer, particularly for older patients, and could lead to the development of ambulatory pathways.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluates the implementation of an ERAS program in the gynecological surgery department of Caen University Hospital and its impact on the management of endometrial cancer. The objective was to show its impact on the length of hospitalization of patients before and after its implementation. PATIENTS AND METHOD We conducted a retrospective study including all women treated surgically for endometrial cancer at Caen University Hospital between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2021. The ERAS program started in September 2017. We compared the pre-, intra- and postoperative characteristics of two groups: the first one concerning the period before the implementation of ERAS called « prior ERAS group » and the second one after implementation called « post ERAS group ». RESULTS A total of 198 patients were included in our study. 139 patients were included after ERAS implementation. Our study shows that there is a significant reduction in median length of stay between the post ERAS and prior ERAS groups respectively 3 and 4 days (p = 0.004). There was also a reduction of time to resume ambulation (p < 0.001) and re-feeding (p < 0.001) for the post ERAS group compared to the prior ERAS group. Complication rates (p = 0.87) and readmission rates (p = 0.28) were not significant. Overall survival was not significant (p = 0.28). CONCLUSION ERAS is a safe and effective method in the overall management of patients allowing an improvement in the quality of patient care and accelerating recovery to a previous physiological state. Finally, this results in a reduction in the patient's length of stay, without impacting morbidity and readmission rate.

Abstract
Objective Posterior pelvic exenteration (PPE) can be required to achieve complete resection in ovarian cancer (OC) patients with large pelvic disease. This study aimed to analyze morbidity, complete resection rate, and survival of PPE. Methods Ninety patients who underwent PPE in our Comprehensive Cancer Center between January 2010 and February 2021 were retrospectively identified. To analyze practice evolution, 2 periods were determined: P1 from 2010 to 2017 and P2 from 2018 to 2021. Results A 82.2% complete resection rate after PPE was obtained, with rectal anastomosis in 96.7% of patients. Complication rate was at 30% (grade 3 in 9 patients), without significant difference according to periods or quality of resection. In a binary logistic regression adjusted on age and stoma, only age of 51–74 years old was associated with a lower rate of complication (odds ratio=0.223; p=0.026). Median overall and disease-free survivals (OS and DFS) from initial diagnosis were 75.21 and 29.84 months, respectively. A negative impact on OS and DFS was observed in case of incomplete resection, and on DFS in case of final cytoreductive surgery (FCS: after ≥6 chemotherapy cycles). Age ≥75-years had a negative impact on DFS for new OC surgery. For patients with complete resection, OS and DFS were decreased in case of interval cytoreductive surgery and FCS in comparison with primary cytoreductive surgery. Conclusion PPE is an effective surgical measure to achieve complete resection for a majority of patients. High rate of colorectal anastomosis was achieved without any mortality, with acceptable morbidity and high protective stoma rate. Posterior-pelvic-exenteration (PPE) can be required to achieve complete cyto-reductive-surgery (CS) in ovarian cancer (OC) patients. A 82.2% complete-CS rate was obtained for PPE, with rectal anastomosis in 96.7%. Complication rate was 30%. Negative impact on DFS for patients with incomplete-CS or final-CS or age ≥75-years for new OC and PPE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of the implementation of a national enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program for posterior deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) surgery on the length of hospital stay, the rate of postoperative complications, and readmission within 30 days. DESIGN Comparative exposed/nonexposed observational study. SETTING Study based on the French national medicoeconomic database of the Program of Medicalization of Information System. PATIENTS Seven hundred and sixty-four women who underwent DIE surgery were involved and matched (1:3 ratio) into two groups: ERAS group for the year 2019 and non-ERAS group for the year 2015. INTERVENTIONS Surgical management for posterior DIE. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The length of hospital stay, the rate of postoperative complications during the initial hospital stay, and readmission within 30 days. RESULTS The ERAS group included 191 women, and the non-ERAS group included 573 women. The mean length of hospital stay was shorter in the ERAS group than in the non-ERAS group (4.28 ± 3.80 days vs. 5.42 ± 4.04 days, respectively). The rate of postoperative abdominal or pelvic pain syndromes was lower in the ERAS group than in the non-ERAS group (5/191 (2.62%) vs. 48/573 (8.38%), respectively; relative risk, 0.31 [0.125-0.7969]). The rate of postoperative complication and the rate of readmission within 30 days were not different between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The implementation of ERAS has a significant positive impact on patient outcomes after DIE surgery. The length of hospital stay and abdominal or pelvic pain syndromes were reduced without increasing complications or readmission within 30 days.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare perioperative outcomes of the elderly versus non-elderly patients on ERPs undergoing laparotomy for gynecologic surgery. METHODS From January 2016 to June 2017, patients undergoing elective laparotomies for gynecologic surgery were enrolled in a perioperative ERP protocol. Outcomes were compared between the elderly (age ≥ 70 years) and the non-elderly (age ≤ 69 years). Primary outcomes were length of stay and perioperative complication rates. Comparisons were performed using chi-squared tests or Fisher's exact tests for categorical data and Student's t-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum tests for continuous variables, with p < 0.05 for significance. RESULTS One hundred eighty-nine patients were enrolled in the study, including 16 patients ≥ 70 years old. The median age was 75 years for the elderly and 45 years for the non-elderly. Elderly patients were more likely to have more complex surgery and longer operative times (absolute median difference of 39 min). Despite the increasing complexity of surgical procedures for elderly patients, there were no statistically significant differences in serious inpatient complications (Clavien-Dindo score 3A or greater), pain and nausea scores, 30-day complications and readmission rates. Elderly patients had a longer median length of stay compared to non-elderly patients by one day (p < 0.001), however, this was not statistically significant on multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION In our series, elderly patients on the ERP had similar rates of complications and readmission when compared to non-elderly patients, despite undergoing more complex surgeries. This suggests that ERP may be feasible and safe in the elderly population undergoing elective gynecologic laparotomy.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate compliance and outcomes with implementation of an enhanced recovery surgical protocol in older women undergoing pelvic reconstructive surgery. This is a retrospective cohort study of women undergoing pelvic reconstructive surgery after implementation of the pathway over a 12-month period. Overall compliance was defined as a categorial variable requiring adherence to all of the selected bundle components in patients <65 years old compared to those ≥65. Intraoperative and 30-day postoperative complications were also compared and were reviewed by organ system, these were categorized using the Clavien-Dindo Classification system. There was no significant difference in overall compliance in patients <65 compared to ≥65. Factors that increased compliance in patients ≥65 include laparotomy, hysterectomy, hyperlipidaemia, time after implementation of the protocol and primary surgeon. There was an increase in compliance from 19% to 77% over the 12-month study period. Intra and postoperative complications were similar between the two groups. Enhanced recovery in older patients undergoing pelvic reconstructive surgery is feasible with similar rates of compliance and complications compared to younger patients. Compliance with the protocol increases as time after implementation of the protocol increases in all patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The majority of cost-studies related to robotic surgery has a short follow-up and primarily report the costs from the index surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term resource consequences of introducing robotic surgery for early stage endometrial cancer in Denmark. METHODS The study included all women with early stage endometrial cancer who underwent robotic, laparoscopic and open access surgery from January 2008 to June 2015. Data was linked from national databases to determine resource consumption and costs from hospital treatments, outpatient contacts, primary health care sector visits, labor market affiliation and prescription of medication. Each patient was observed in a period of 12 months before- and after surgery. The key exposure variable was women who were exposed to robotic surgery compared to those who were not. RESULTS A total of 4133 women underwent surgery for early stage endometrial cancer. The study found additional costs of $7309 (95% confidence interval [CI] 2100-11,620, P = 0.001) per patient in the group exposed to robotic surgery including long-term costs post-surgery compared to the non-exposed group (non-robotic group). When controlling for time trends, the introduction of robotic surgery did not reduce the number of bed days (mean diff -0.42, 95% CI -3.03-2.19, P = 0.752). CONCLUSIONS The introduction of robotic surgery for early stage endometrial cancer did not generate any long-term cost savings. The additional costs of robotic surgery were primarily driven by the index surgery. Any reduction in bed days could be explained by time trends.
