Educational Learning Objectives Describe the importance of improving time to gastrointestinal recovery that occurs postsurgery and consider how this affects length of hospital stay and overall quality of patient care Evaluate the evidence for therapeutic options that may improve gastrointestinal recovery postsurgery and integrate these efforts toward supporting overall surgical quality measures Describe how interprofessional collaboration surrounding gastrointestinal surgery can result in better alignment with current surgical quality measures and formulate strategies to integrate this into current practice
Initial Case Presentation • 65-year-old AA male diagnosed with a 4 cm, nonobstructing adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon (at 40 cm) • Meds: atenolol; simvastatin • Past history • Surgery: tonsillectomy & adenoidectomy; laparoscopic cholecystectomy • Medical: hypertension; hyperlipidemia
The Colectomy Package • Preoperative evaluation • Prehabilitation • Operative care • SCIP – infectious prophylaxis • Fluid management • Minimally invasive surgery • Enhanced recovery protocol SCIP: Surgical Care Improvement Project
Preoperative Evaluation:Surgical Risk • ASA score • ECG • Complete blood count and complete metabolic panel • Type and screen • Carcinoembryonic antigen1 • If elevated conveys higher risk of metastatic failure especially if fails to return to normal after surgery Goldstein M, Mitchell E. Cancer Invest. 2005;23(4):338-351.
Patient Case–Staging Workup • Chest X-ray normal • Computed tomography (CT) scan • No evidence of metastatic disease; thickening of mid-sigmoid consistent with lesion • Positron emission tomography (PET) scan • No clear indication in primary colon cancer
Tumor Staging • Survival (5-year by Dukes stage) • A = 90–95% • B = 70–80% • C = 55–65% • D = 5%
Educational Imperatives • Review pertinent risks and indications for procedure • Discuss anticipated recovery milestones (on instruction sheet) • Review anticipated discharge criteria • Assure access to follow-up and questions
Surgical Options: Sigmoid Colectomy • Laparoscopic surgery • Probably preferred approach with training and experience • Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery • May have shorter/different learning curve compared to straight lap • Open surgery • Standard approach

Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery • Compared with open colorectal surgery, laparoscopic surgery is associated with • Reduced surgical trauma • Reduced postoperative morbidity/complications • Reduced postoperative pain • Earlier passage of flatus and earlier bowel movement • Reduced length of hospital stay • Similar oncologic outcome
Standardized Technique:Laparoscopic Sigmoid Colectomy • Medial approach to vascular pedicle • Identification of left ureter from IMA origin to pelvic inlet • Division of proximal vascular pedicle (IMA) • Mobilization of mesocolon off retroperitoneum to the lateral attachments • Lateral release of desc/sigmoid colon • Release of splenic flexure (if needed) • Mobilization/division of proximal rectum • Exteriorization of specimen via LLQ muscle splitting incision with wound protector • Primary end-to-end colorectal anastomosis IMA: inferior mesenteric artery; LLQ: left lower quadrant Senagore AJ.

Outcome of Unplanned Readmission (UR)(DRG Codes 146 to 149) • 553 colorectal resections in 6 months; 56 UR (10%) • No predictors (complications, WBC, hemoglobin, antibiotics, comorbidity, fever, urgency of procedure, presence of a stoma, length of stay) • Matched non-readmitted cases had shorter primary LOS (6 vs 5 days, P = 0.049) • UR had more perioperative steroids (32 vs 17%, P = 0.03) • No adverse event related to delayed diagnosis • Conclusion: unplanned readmission is unpredictable, not related to LOS, and doesn’t affect overall outcome Kiran RP, et al. J Am Coll Surg. 2004;198:877-883.
Patient Case Continued • Patient underwent a laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy • Transitioned to oral ibuprofen and gabapentin on POD 1 • Resumption of a general diet on POD 1 • Discharged without complications after having a bowel movement on POD 2
Enhanced Recovery Pathway Key Components • Laparoscopic approach preferred • No routine NG tubes • Foley out first day • Narcotic sparing analgesics • Ibuprofen 800 mg po q 8 hrs • Gabapentin 300 mg po q 8 hrs • Consider alvimopan where appropriate to reduce POI risk • Early ambulation • Early resumption of diet
Why It Works • Fast-track pathways are a win-win situation • Include all groups • Nurses (including enterostomal therapy nurses), residents, pharmacists, surgeons, anesthesiologists • Evidence-based decisions not compromise and consensus
