Abstract

Aim

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACRT) can make decompensated patients more vulnerable prior to rectal surgery. Prehabilitation is an intervention which enhances functional capacity to withstand the stress of surgery. The aim of this review was to evaluate the impact of prehabilitation for patients undergoing rectal surgery on physical fitness and clinical outcomes and to establish feasibility of prehabilitation.

Methods

An analysis of the literature was conducted of PubMed, the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE and ScienceDirect. Articles were initially included based on their title and abstracts reviewed. Full-text copies of those selected were obtained for confirmation of inclusion.

Results

Eight studies were included. Heterogenicity was observed in the structure of exercise programmes. Improvements in physical fitness were observed in six studies. One study demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in quality of life. The prehabilitation programmes were shown to be feasible, with high completion rates. No adverse events were reported. There was limited data regarding the impact of prehabilitation on postoperative outcomes.

Conclusion

Current evidence on prehabilitation in rectal surgery has considerable heterogenicity in both structure of programmes and outcome measures. Standardisation is required for future evaluation of the impact on outcomes. A trimodal approach of exercise, nutritional and psychological interventions has been employed in similar programmes, and should be used in rectal surgery. The intervention should be tailored to the patient and environment. This review highlights the benefits, safety and feasibility of prehabilitation and provides a platform for consensus-building for international trials.

Leitlinienkonformes Management thermischer Verletzungen

Thermische Verletzungen gehören zu den schwerwiegendsten Traumen und hinterlassen oft langfristige körperliche und psychische Spuren. Die aktuelle S2k-Leitlinie „Behandlung thermischer Verletzungen im Kindesalter (Verbrennung, Verbrühung)“ bietet eine strukturierte Übersicht über das empfohlene Vorgehen.

Verbände und Cremes gegen Dekubitus: „Wir wissen nicht, was sie bringen!“

Die Datenlage zur Wirksamkeit von Verbänden oder topischen Mitteln zur Prävention von Druckgeschwüren sei schlecht, so die Verfasser einer aktuellen Cochrane-Studie. Letztlich bleibe es unsicher, ob solche Maßnahmen den Betroffenen nutzen oder schaden.

Nackenschmerzen nach Bandscheibenvorfall: Muskeltraining hilft!

Bei hartnäckigen Schmerzen aufgrund einer zervikalen Radikulopathie schlägt ein Team der Universität Istanbul vor, lokale Steroidinjektionen mit einem speziellen Trainingsprogramm zur Stabilisierung der Nackenmuskulatur zu kombinieren.

US-Team empfiehlt Gastropexie nach Hiatushernien-Op.

Zur Vermeidung von Rezidiven nach Reparatur einer paraösophagealen Hiatushernie sollte einem US-Team zufolge der Magen bei der Op. routinemäßig an der Bauchwand fixiert werden. Das Ergebnis einer randomisierten Studie scheint dafür zu sprechen.
