Improving Perioperative Care in Gastric Surgery: Insights from the EUropean PErioperative MEdical Networking (EUPEMEN) Project

Original language description

Background/Objectives: Gastric cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and surgical resection represents the mainstay of treatment procedures. However, despite the advancements noted in the field of surgical oncology, perioperative complications and variability in the perioperative care provided persist. To address the challenges caused by non-standardized perioperative care for gastric surgery across European healthcare systems, the EUropean PErioperative MEdical Networking (EUPEMEN) protocol has been developed. The present study concisely provides the EUPEMEN protocol&apos;s development, implementation, and impact on perioperative management in gastric resections. Methods: The EUPEMEN protocol was developed through a multidisciplinary collaboration involving five academic healthcare professionals from four European countries. The main activities of the collaborative group included a literature review, consensus development, the creation of multimodal rehabilitation manuals, and the development of an online learning platform. The EUPEMEN project aims for the uniform adoption of evidence-based practices across preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases, leading in nutritional, psychological, and physiological optimization. Results: The implementation of the EUPEMEN protocol aims to optimize perioperative outcomes, including reduced postoperative complications, a shorter length of hospitalization, and improved recovery trajectories. The above have been achieved through structured guidelines that ensure consistent care delivery across diverse healthcare settings and tools such as rehabilitation manuals and a free-access online educational platform. Conclusions: The EUPEMEN protocol represents a new standard for perioperative care in the field of gastric surgery that is based on multidisciplinary collaboration and evidence-based practices. While challenges such as resource constraints and variability in adherence remain, the protocol demonstrates significant potential to improve patient outcomes and streamline perioperative management. Future research should focus on long-term effects and adaptation challenges in the setting of non-European healthcare systems.
