Enhanced recovery pathways for head and neck surgery with free tissue transfer reconstruction

Copyright © 2023. Published by Elsevier B.V..

The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway is designed to facilitate recovery after surgery by packaging evidence-based protocols specific to each aspect of the perioperative period, including the preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative, and post-discharge periods. The ERAS pathway, which was originally developed for use with colonic resection, is now being expanded to include a variety of surgical procedures, and the ERAS Society has published a consensus review of the ERAS pathway for head and neck surgery with free tissue transfer reconstruction (HNS-FTTR). The ERAS pathway for HNS-FTTR consists of various important protocols, including early postoperative mobilization, early postoperative enteral nutrition, abolition of preoperative fasting, preoperative enteral fluid loading, multimodal pain management, and prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting. In recent years, meta-analyses investigating the utility of the ERAS pathway in head and neck cancer surgery have also been presented, and all reports showed that the length of the postoperative hospital stay was reduced by the implementation of the ERAS pathway. The ERAS pathway is now gaining traction in the field of head and neck surgery; however, the details of its efficacy remain uncertain. We believe the future direction will require research focused on improving the quality of postoperative patient recovery and patient satisfaction. It will be important to use patient-reported outcomes to determine whether the ERAS pathway is actually beneficial.
