Abstract PDF Supplementary Material ePub

The Korean Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Committee within the Korean Society of Surgical Metabolism and Nutrition was established to develop ERAS guidelines tailored to the Korean context. This guideline focuses on creating the most current evidence-based practice guidelines for ERAS based on systematic reviews. All key questions targeted randomized controlled trials (RCTs) exclusively. If fewer than two RCTs were available, studies using propensity score matching were also included. Recommendations for each key question were marked with strength of recommendation and level of evidence following internal and external review processes by the committee.

Perioperative Management of Morbidly Obese Patients during Major Abdominal Surgery: Byeong-Gon Na, Sang-Jae Park; Ann Clin Nutr Metab 2021;13(2):26-33. Published online December 31, 2021; DOI: https://doi.org/10.15747/ACNM.2021.13.2.26

Abstract PDF ePub

The population with obesity is seeing a steady increase globally. Obesity is known to be associated with morbidity and mortality after major abdominal surgery, and this correlation becomes more prominent in morbidly obese (MO) patients. Accordingly, adequate preoperative evaluation and preparation should be performed with an understanding of the pathophysiological changes associated with the MO. Precise surgery and adequate postoperative management are also mandatory to reduce complications and unplanned readmissions. However, adequate guidelines for the perioperative management of MO patients undergoing major abdominal surgery are lacking. We provide an overview of the pathophysiologic changes and practical guidelines on the perioperative management of major abdominal surgery in MO patients.

Development of a pre- and re-habilitation protocol for gastrointestinal cancer surgery: Eun Young Kim, Jung Hoon Bae, Jiseon Kim, Eun Joo Yang, Sang-Jae Park, In Kyu Lee, on behalf of the Task Force Team for Development and Trial Application of Pre/Rehabilitation Protocol in GI Cancer Surgery; Received February 25, 2025 Accepted March 20, 2025 Published online March 28, 2025; DOI: https://doi.org/10.15747/ACNM.25.0001

Abstract ePub: Purpose
Surgical resection is the primary curative treatment for gastrointestinal (GI) cancer; however, it is associated with high postoperative complication rates and impaired recovery. Frailty, malnutrition, and sarcopenia increase morbidity and mortality, underscoring the need for perioperative rehabilitation programs. Standardized rehabilitation protocols during the perioperative period are currently lacking in Korea. We aimed to develop an evidence-based rehabilitation protocol for GI cancer patients to enhance postoperative outcomes and facilitate clinical implementation.
Methods
A multidisciplinary task force team comprising experts in surgery, clinical nutrition, and rehabilitation medicine conducted a systematic literature search and comprehensive review from 2012 to 2022 to develop a standardized pre- and re-habilitation protocol for GI cancer surgery. The protocol underwent external validation and subsequent refinements before being finalized through expert consensus.
Results
The protocol development process was organized into four consecutive phases: keyword selection, literature review and case report form development, initial protocol drafting, and external validation leading to the final version of the protocol. The final version of the rehabilitation protocol is presented in the main text and included as Supplements.
Conclusion
This protocol provides a standardized clinical guideline based on the latest evidence-based pre- and re-habilitation strategies and is designed for seamless integration into routine clinical practice. By facilitating proactive rehabilitation interventions, it aims to improve outcomes in GI cancer patients who are at high risk of postoperative complications, functional decline, and malnutrition.
