Abstract Background:In our previous study, hypokalemia incidence was high in patients scheduled for laparoscopic colorectal resection. The present trial was conducted to verify the effects of preoperative carbohydrate drinks containing potassium in these patients. Methods: Patients were randomly assigned to control, placebo, and case groups. In control group, patients were fasted from midnight. In placebo group, patients were fasted from midnight and received carbohydrate drinks 2–3 h before surgery. In case group, patients were fasted from midnight and received carbohydrate drinks containing potassium supplementation 2–3 h before surgery. The primary outcome was the incidence and severity of preoperative hypokalemia. The other outcomes included postoperative gastrointestinal function, including the time to postoperative first flatus (FFL) and first feces (FFE) and other complications. Results: The final analysis included 122 participants. The incidence of preoperative hypokalemia in case group was significantly lower than that in control and placebo groups (50% vs. 88.1% vs. 77.5%, p < 0.001). The severity of hypokalemia in control and placebo groups was greater than that in case group. No regurgitation or aspiration occurred in the three groups. No significant differences were observed among the three groups regarding time to FFL and FFE. Conclusions: Preoperative carbohydrate drinks containing potassium may have significantly reduced the incidence of preoperative hypokalemia and improved preoperative thirst and hunger, but did not improve postoperative well-being. However, as part of the enhanced recovery after surgery protocol, preoperative carbohydrate drinks containing potassium should be recommended, as early as first admittance to hospital.

The Impact

Introduction Stoma formation following colorectal resection is often anticipated prior to surgery. Becoming independent with stoma handling can sometimes delay discharge beyond achievement of discharge criteria. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of preoperative stoma training on length of stay. Methods Patients undergoing colorectal resection within an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programme were prospectively entered into a database. Retrospective analysis was performed of those who received a stoma as part of their operation. Patients who underwent preoperative stoma training were compared with those who had conventional postoperative training. The primary outcome measure was length of hospital stay. Secondary outcome measures included overall morbidity, stoma related morbidity, ERAS milestone achievement and readmission rates. Results The median length of stay was improved in the patients receiving preoperative stoma training (8 days [interquartile range: 6–10] vs 9 days [interquartile range: 7–19.5], p=0.025). No statistically significant difference was observed in overall morbidity rates, stoma specific morbidity, ERAS milestones or readmission rates. Conclusions Preoperative stoma training can reduce length of stay and could be employed routinely for patients who are planned to have colorectal surgery. Such training can be incorporated within ERAS pathways.

Immunonutrition (IN) appears to reduce infective complications and in-hospital length of stay (LOS) after major gastrointestinal surgery, but its use in normo-nourished patients is still controversial. The primary aim of this comparative observational study was to evaluate if pre-operative IN reduces in-hospital stay in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal resection for cancer under an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program. The influence of IN on time to first bowel movements, time to full oral diet tolerance, number and type of complications, reasons of prolonged LOS and readmission rate was evaluated as secondary outcome. Patients undergoing ERAS laparoscopic colorectal resection between December 2016 and December 2019 were reviewed. Patients who have received preoperative IN (group A) were compared to those receiving standard dietary advice (group B). Mean in-hospital LOS was significantly shorter in patients receiving preoperative IN than standard dietary advice (4.85 ± 2.25 days vs. 6.06 ± 3.95 days; p < 0.0492). No differences in secondary outcomes were observed. Preoperative IN associated with ERAS protocol in normo-nourished patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection seems to reduce LOS.
