Laparoscopic Heller myotomy and Dor fundoplication in the same day surgery setting with a trained team and an enhanced recovery protocol

Background: The length of stay after Heller myotomy is 1–5 days. The aim was to report feasibility of the procedure as same day surgery (SDS). Methods: Three steps of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocol: preoperatively, clear liquid diet for 24 hours, in preoperative area: antiemetics as dermal...

description Background: The length of stay after Heller myotomy is 1–5 days. The aim was to report feasibility of the procedure as same day surgery (SDS). Methods: Three steps of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocol: preoperatively, clear liquid diet for 24 hours, in preoperative area: antiemetics as dermal patch/IV form, 2: Intraoperatively, intubation in semi upright position, IV analgesics and antiemetics. 3: Postoperatively, clear liquid diet and discharge instructions. Patients were followed using a phone questionnaire. Values are median (interquartile range). Results: Fifty-seven patients, 32 M (56%)/25F (44%), age 48 (35–59). First 45 were inpatient with LOS of 1 day. Last 12 were planned as same day surgery, 1/12 was discharged on POD#2, 11/12 (92%) were performed as same day surgery. The duration of operation: 139.5 min (114–163) inpatient: vs 123 (107–139) same day surgery, P < .01. Questionnaires were obtained in 78% inpatient at 40 months (25.6–67) vs 82% same day surgery at 8 (4–12). All were satisfied with the operation with no difference between the 2 groups. Conclusion: Heller myotomy can be planned as same day surgery and performed successfully in majority of patients with a trained team and an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocol focused on prevention of nausea, and pain control in perioperative period.
