- Abstract
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. This overview will summarize overarching principles for ERAS within hepatopancreaticobiliary (HPB) surgery, first summarizing Pancreaticoduodenectomy and Hepatectomy ERAS Society Guidelines. Specifically, principles and areas of current debate regarding preoperative oral carbohydrate loading/fasting, perioperative fluid management, and analgesia will be discussed. While institutions are beginning to realize both clinical and financial benefits of ERAS within HPB surgery, enhanced recovery remains a relatively recent phenomenon within the field. The complex patient population, high morbidity, and resource-intensive care involved in HPB surgery certainly warrant special consideration. To continue to promote improved clinical outcomes in a cost-effective manner, the ERAS Society will continue to actively address concerns and ensure all recommendations are based on the most up-to-date scientific evidence within the field of HPB surgery.
