Colorectal Surgery Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Age on the Efficiency of Enhanced Recovery Program After Colorectal Surgery
Comparison of the efficiency of enhanced recovery program after colorectal surgery in elderly patients (≥ 70 yo) and younger patients (< 70 yo). Efficiency will be rated as a function of length of hospital stay, postoperative complications (medical and surgical, as well as adherence to protocol.
In 1995 Henrik Kehlet described the concept of fast track surgery after colectomy. It
consisted of a multimodal and multidisciplinary approach that aimed at controlling the
surgical stress response and at mitigating its consequences. Subsequently postoperative
recovery is improved and accelerated, which allows a median hospital stay of 2-days after
laparoscopic colectomy. The concept of fast track surgery progressively evolved into enhanced
recovery programme (ERP). The acceleration of postoperative recovery and the reduction in the
duration of hospitalisation are not associated with an increased incidence of surgical
complications nor a greater rate of unplanned hospital readmission, but rather result in less
medical complications. The economic benefits are obvious.
The elderly present specific physical, metabolic and socio-environmental characteristics that
should be considered in case of surgery. Age has been shown to be an independent prognostic
factor for postoperative morbidity after colorectal surgery, but this was reported before the
development of ERP. Indeed implementation of ERP significantly reduces the rate of
postoperative complications, even in the elderly. Increased risk of postoperative morbidity
in elderly as compared to younger patients is nevertheless commonly admitted. Moreover
adherence of elderly with the items of ERP is usually considered inferior than that of
younger patients. Adaptation of ERP to the specificities of elderly is sometimes advocated.
All these explain the reluctance of many practitioners to propose ERP in older patients.
However recent meta-analyses suggest that implementation of ERP is feasible and efficient in
these patients. The retrospective analysis of our first 100 patients introduced in our audit
database revealed even similar length of hospital stay for elderly and younger patients.
The investigators therefore compared the length of hospital stay in the elderly and the
younger patients and tested the hypothesis of non-inferiority for elderly patients as
compared to younger patients. This is a retrospective analysis of 270 consecutive patients
scheduled for colorectal surgery, all managed with the same ERP protocol, and prospectively
introduced in our audit database.
