ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and enhanced recovery protocols (ERPs) have improved postoperative recovery and shortened length of hospital stay (LOS). Telemedicine technology has potential to improve outcomes and patient experience further. This study was designed to determine whether the combination of MIS, ERP and a structured telemedicine programme (TeleRecovery) could shorten total 30-day LOS by 50 per cent.

METHODS:

This was a phase II prospective RCT at a large academic medical centre. Eligible patients aged 18-80 years undergoing minimally invasive colorectal resection using an ERP were randomized after surgery. The experimental arm (RecoverMI) included accelerated discharge on postoperative day (POD) 1 with or without evidence of bowel function and a televideoconference on POD 2. The control arm was standard postoperative care. The primary endpoint was total 30-day LOS (postoperative stay plus readmission/emergency department/observation days). Secondary endpoints included patient-reported outcomes measured by EQ-5D-5L™, Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) and a satisfaction questionnaire.

RESULTS:

Thirty patients were randomized after robotic (21 patients) or laparoscopic (9) colectomy, including 14 patients in the RecoverMI arm. Median 30-day total LOS was 28·3 (i.q.r. 23·7-43·6) h in the RecoverMI arm and 51·5 (43·8-67·0) h in the control arm (P = 0·041). There were no differences in severe adverse events or EQ-5D-5L™ score between the study arms. The BPI revealed low pain scores regardless of treatment arm. Satisfaction was high in both arms.

CONCLUSION:

In patients having surgery for colorectal neoplasms, the trimodal combination of MIS, ERP and TeleRecovery can reduce 30-day LOS while preserving patients' quality of life and satisfaction. Registration number NCT02613728 ( https//clinicaltrials.gov).
RESUMEN
ANTECEDENTES La cirugía mínimamente invasiva (minimally invasive surgery, MIS) y los protocolos de recuperación intensificada (enhanced recovery protocols, ERP) han mejorado la recuperación postoperatoria y acortan la duración de la estancia (length of stay, LOS). La tecnología de la telemedicina tiene potencial para mejorar aún más los resultados y la experiencia del paciente. Este estudio se diseñó para determinar si la combinación de MIS, ERP y un programa estructurado de telemedicina (TeleRecovery) podría acortar la LOS total a los 30 días en un 50%.

MÉTODOS:

Se efectuó un ensayo controlado aleatorizado, prospectivo, de fase II en un gran centro médico académico. Los pacientes elegibles de 18-80 años de edad que se sometieron a resección colorrectal MIS mediante ERP se asignaron al azar después de la resección quirúrgica. El brazo experimental (RecoverMI) incluyó el alta acelerada en el día 1 del postoperatorio (postoperative day, POD) con o sin evidencia de recuperación del tránsito intestinal y una televideoconferencia en el día 2 POD. Los pacientes en el grupo control recibieron los cuidados postoperatorios habituales. El criterio de valoración principal fue la LOS total (estancia postoperatoria más reingreso/estancia en urgencias/días de observación) a los 30 días. Los criterios de valoración secundarios incluyeron los resultados referidos por los pacientes medidos por los cuestionarios EQ-5D-5L, el Cuestionario Breve del Dolor (Brief Pain Inventory, BPI) y un cuestionario de satisfacción.

RESULTADOS:

Treinta pacientes fueron aleatorizados después de una colectomía robótica (21) o laparoscópica (9), incluidos 14 pacientes en el grupo de RecoverMI. La mediana de la LOS total a los 30 días fue de 28,3 horas (rango intercuartílico, RIQ 23,7-43,6) en el grupo de RecoverMI y de 51,5 horas (RIQ 43,8-67,0) en el grupo control (P = 0,04). No hubo diferencias entre los grupos de estudio en los eventos adversos graves o en las puntuaciones del EQ-5D-5L. El BPI mostró puntuaciones bajas de dolor independientemente del grupo de tratamiento. La satisfacción fue alta en ambos grupos.

CONCLUSIÓN:

Entre los pacientes que se someten a cirugía por cáncer colorrectal, la combinación trimodal de MIS, ERP y TeleRecovery puede reducir la LOS a los 30 días, preservando la calidad de vida y la satisfacción del paciente.
