Accelerated Recovery After MIS Hepatectomy (ARAMIS Hep) to Support Early Discharge for Patients Undergoing Minimally Invasive Liver Resection
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Summary
To learn if an accelerated recovery program can shorten the length of hospital stay in patients having minimally invasive liver surgery.
Description
Primary Objectives: Our study will investigate the feasibility of an accelerated recovery program to minimize length of stay (LOS) and facilitate outpatient surgery for patients undergoing minimally invasive, lower complexity (Kawaguchi-Gayet grade I) liver resection. This program (ARAMIS Hep) will combine minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approaches (robotic OR laparoscopic), enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, and Telehealth to liberalize discharge criteria in a safe manner. Secondary Objectives: In addition to demonstrating a reduction in LOS, our study will also provide pr…

Inclusion Criteria: * Tumor amenable to MIS Kawaguchi-Gayet grade I hepatectomy (see figure 1 below) * No evidence of cirrhosis (based on imaging, evidence of portal hypertension, clinical features, or laboratory results) * No significant cardiopulmonary disease that would prevent patients from undergoing MIS resection * Ability to stay within 50 miles of medical center for immediate postop period * Age of 18 years or above - because no adverse event data are currently available on enhanced recovery and early discharge after hepatic resection for patients \<18 years of age, children are exclu…
