New technologies and increasing surgical specialization have allowed surgeons to push the limits and perform increasingly complex surgical procedures even in elderly and frail patients. Recent improvements in perioperative care aim to reduce postoperative complications and thus to ameliorate and accelerate postoperative recovery.
Seemingly simple measures such as proper administration of antibiotic prophylaxis and skin disinfection have lowered surgical site infection rates. Perioperative nutritional support has been shown to reduce (infectious) complications, duration of hospital stay, and costs.
The underlying mechanism of many individual measures is to attenuate excessive postsurgical stress response. The best prevention is no doubt the reduction of surgical trauma; this explains the impressive results of minimally invasive surgery.
A comprehensive combination of multiple useful measures is an appealing approach to optimize perioperative care and hence postoperative outcomes. This idea has been realized and developed over the past decade with the advent of enhanced recovery pathways.
Standardization and improvement of perioperative management was followed by a reduction of the surgical stress response and consecutively a tremendous reduction of postoperative complications (by 50 %). The most welcome side effects were a shortened hospital stay and reduced health care costs.
