Official title
Impact of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Pathway on Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
Prostate cancer ranks second among all malignances in men and has become a significant threat to men's health. Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) has become a standard treatment for prostate cancer. How to improve recovery following RARP surgery is worth investigating. The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway involves a series of evidence-based procedures. It is aimed to reduce the systemic stress response to surgery and shorten the length of hospital stay. This randomized trial aims to investigate the impact of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Pathway on early outcomes after RARP surgery.
Detailed description
Prostate cancer ranks second among all malignancies in men and has become a significant threat to men's health. Surgical resection is the main treatment for patients with early and locally advanced prostate cancer. With the progress of technology, robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) is gradually accepted by surgeons and become the first line treatment for prostate cancer. How to improve recovery after RARP surgery is worth investigating.
The concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) was first reported by Dr. Kehlet. The ERAS pathway involves a series of evidence-based managements to accelerate patients' rehabilitation, including selective bowel preparation, nutritional therapy, fluid management, multimodal analgesia, early mobilization, etc. It has been applied to many patient populations including those undergoing gastrointestinal surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, and urological surgery. Previous studies showed that practicing ERAS in patients undergoing laparoscopic prostate surgery shortened the time to flatus and defecate and the length of hospital stay. Specifically, prehabilitation including aerobic exercise and pelvic floor training may be beneficial and improve physical wellbeing in patients undergoing prostatectomy. However, little is known regarding the effects of ERAS in patients undergoing RARP surgery.
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the impact of ERAS management, including prehabilitation, on early outcomes in patients undergoing RARP surgery.
Interventions
- Procedure Routine care
1. Routine information provided before surgery. 2. No nutritional therapy. 3. No aerobic exercise. 4. No pelvic floor muscle training. 5. No psychiatrist intervention. 6. Bowel preparation with oral cathartic agent. 7. Fasting for over 8 hours; no oral carbohydrate solution (OCS) loading before surgery. 8. Hypothermia prevention not emphasized. 9. General anesthesia; regional block not emphasized. 10. Routine blood pressure management. 11. Mobilization from postoperative day 1. 12. Start oral fe - Procedure ERAS management pathway
