Perioperative strategy in colonic surgery; LAparoscopy and/or FAst track multimodal management versus standard care (LAFA trial)

TLDR
The randomized controlled multicenter LAFA-trial was conceived to determine whether laparoscopic surgery, fast track perioperative care or a combination of both is to be preferred over open surgery with standard care in patients having segmental colectomy for malignant disease.
Abstract
Background Recent developments in large bowel surgery are the introduction of laparoscopic surgery and the implementation of multimodal fast track recovery programs. Both focus on a faster recovery and shorter hospital stay. The randomized controlled multicenter LAFA-trial (LAparoscopy and/or FAst track multimodal management versus standard care) was conceived to determine whether laparoscopic surgery, fast track perioperative care or a combination of both is to be preferred over open surgery with standard care in patients having segmental colectomy for malignant disease.

Guidelines for perioperative care in elective colonic surgery: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS®) society recommendations

TL;DR: Based on the evidence available for each item of the multimodal perioperative care pathway, the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Society, International Association for Surgical Metabolism and Nutrition (IASMEN) and European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolicism (ESPEN) present a comprehensive evidence-based consensus review of peri operative care for colonic surgery.

Fast track surgery versus conventional recovery strategies for colorectal surgery

TL;DR: The quality of trials and lack of sufficient other outcome parameters do not justify implementation of ERAS as the standard of care, but analysis shows a reduction in overall complications, but major complications were not reduced.

A comparison of laparoscopically assisted and open colectomy for colon cancer.

TL;DR: In this multi-institutional study, the rates of recurrent cancer were similar after laparoscopically assisted colectomy and open-colectomy, suggesting that the laparoscopic approach is an acceptable alternative to open surgery for colon cancer.

TL;DR: LAC is more effective than OC for treatment of colon cancer in terms of morbidity, hospital stay, tumour recurrence, and cancer-related survival.

Multimodal strategies to improve surgical outcome.

TL;DR: Understanding perioperative pathophysiology and implementation of care regimes to reduce the stress of an operation, will continue to accelerate rehabilitation associated with decreased hospitalization and increased satisfaction and safety after discharge.

Minimally invasive colon resection (laparoscopic colectomy).

TL;DR: Although laparoscope-assisted colonic surgery may still be considered a procedure in evolution, it has the potential to be as popular as laparoscopic cholecystectomy, according to clinical investigators.

Enhanced recovery after surgery

TL;DR: A protocol is presented which is in current use by the ERAS Group and may provide a standard of care against which either current or future novel elements of an enhanced recovery approach can be tested for their effect on outcome.
