ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Postoperative complications after perihilar cholangiocarcinoma surgical procedure are still very high. The implementation of a multimodal prehabilitation program could improve these outcomes. Based on our experience and that of the literature in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, we propose a protocol to promote its implementation.METHODS:
First, we performed a retrospective analysis of the implementation feasibility of a multimodal prehabilitation program in patients' candidates for elective perihilar cholangiocarcinoma surgery in our center. Second, we conducted a literature search of publications in PubMed until December 2022. Relevant data about hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery and prehabilitation programs in features and postoperative outcomes was analyzed.RESULTS:
Since October 2020, 11 patients were evaluated for prehabilitation in our hospital. Two of them could not be resected intraoperatively due to disease extension. The median hospital stay was 10 days (iqr, 7-11). There were no major complications and 1 patient died. Of a total of 17 articles related to prehabilitation in hepato-biliary-pancreatic surgery, no reports focusing exclusively on perihilar cholangiocarcinoma were found. Six of the studies had nutritional therapies in addition to physical interventions, and 12 studies used home-based exercise therapy.CONCLUSIONS:
Based on our experience and the data obtained from other studies, a prehabilitation program could be useful to improve perioperative physical and mental fitness in patients' candidates for elective perihilar cholangiocarcinoma surgery. However, more well-designed studies are needed to allow us to obtain more evidence.Palavras-chave
