Improved rehabilitation after hepato-bilio-pancreatic cancer surgery

RAAC mitigates the stress response of surgery in the perioperative period and accelerates recovery. Hepatobiliary and pancreatic resection is a complex surgical procedure for which the enhanced recovery program has been shown to be safe and effective in terms of postoperative outcomes. RAAC programs have been shown to be associated with lower morbidity, shorter postoperative stay, and reduced costs, with no difference in mortality and readmission rates.
