Abstract

Most generic enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) recommendations are also valid for pancreatic surgery. For issues specific for pancreatic resections, the literature suggests that routine preoperative biliary drainage should be avoided and patients should be allowed drinks and food at will from the first day after surgery. Furthermore, while perioperative prophylactic drainage cannot be routinely omitted, early drain removal in low-risk patients is safe. Minimally invasive techniques for distal pancreatectomy confer beneficial short-term outcomes, and there is no evidence that oncological outcomes are compromised. For pancreatoduodenectomies, the safety and potential benefits of minimally invasive surgery remain uncertain.
