Abstract:
"Enhanced recovery after surgery" (ERAS) protocols may reduce morbidity, length of hospital stay (LOS), and costs. During the 4-year evolution of a bariatric ERAS protocol, we found that administration of thrombophylaxis selectively to high-risk morbidly obese patients (assessed postoperatively by Caprini score ≥ 3) undergoing omega loop gastric bypass ("mini" gastric bypass) or sleeve gastrectomy resulted in safe outcomes. Both procedures proved equally effective with this protocol. The vast majority of rapidly mobilized, low-risk patients did not appear to require antithrombotic heparin. Similar to other reported ERAS outcomes, our recent year's results in 485 patients included a mean LOS of 1.08 ± 0.64 days (range 1-14), with 460 (95.0%) discharged on day 1 and 99.6% by day 2. There were 13 30-day complications (2.7%), two reinterventions (0.4%), and no hemorrhages.
