[Clinical practice of minimally invasive daytime hepatectomy based on enhanced recovery after surgery whole-process management scheme].

<b>Objective:</b> To explore the clinical effect of the whole-process management scheme of daytime minimally invasive liver resection surgery based on the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) concept. <b>Methods:</b> This is a retrospective case series study. The data of 55 patients who underwent minimally invasive daytime liver resection surgery under the ERAS concept at the Department of General Surgery,Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2023 to August 2024. There were 22 males and 33 females;aged (48.2±15.1) years (range: 16 to 77 years). All patients were classified as Grade 2 according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification. Among them, 7 cases were complicated with liver cirrhosis and 10 cases had fatty liver. A multidisciplinary team was formed, consisting of surgeons, anesthesiologists, rehabilitation physicians, psychologists, pharmacists, acute pain management team, operating room nurses, day surgery ward nurses, and ERAS specialized nurses. After strict evaluation by surgeons and anesthesiologists, patients suitable for daytime liver resection surgery were implemented with the ERAS whole-process management plan for liver resection on the basis of routine nursing care. <b>Results:</b> Among the 55 patients, 50 were discharged smoothly within 48 hours, while 5 were transferred to specialized departments for further treatment due to not meeting the discharge criteria, with a smooth daytime discharge rate of 90.9%. Among the 50 patients, 30 underwent laparoscopic surgery and 20 underwent robotic-assisted surgery. The surgery time was (91.6±28.2)minutes(range:45 to 165 minutes), with the intraoperative blood loss of only (30.5±25.5)ml(range:5 to 100 ml). Pathological examination results showed that among the 50 patients, 13 cases had hepatocellular carcinoma, 21 cases had hepatic hemangioma, 4 cases had hepatic cyst, 8 cases had focal nodular hyperplasia, 1 case had low-grade dysplastic nodule, 1 case had hepatolithiasis, 1 case had lymphoma, and 1 case had vascular, fibrous and lymphoid tissue proliferation. There were 44.0% patients who were able to get out of bed on the day of surgery. The hospital stay was (1.8±0.4)days(range:1 to 2 days), and the hospitalization cost was (34 499±20 330)yuan(range:11 724 to 73 488 yuan). No complications requiring special treatment outside the conventional pathway were observed during the hospital stay and follow-up period. At the 2-week outpatient follow-up, no significant abnormalities were found in all patients, and the wound healing was good. <b>Conclusions:</b> The daytime liver resection surgery based on the ERAS whole-process management plan has shown good feasibility in clinical practice. It helps to simplify medical process, shorten hospital stay, and reduce medical costs.
