• Trial end date: 2023-07-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The whole world now is directed to implement strategies that enhance the patient's quality of life and prevent tumor relapse.

Enhanced recovery after pancreatic surgery (ERAPS) program was found to improve the quality of life as it is an evidence-based protocol designed to standardize and optimize perioperative medical care in order to reduce surgical trauma, perioperative physiological stress, organ dysfunction, reduction of clinical complications, length of hospital stay and the health costs together with increase of patient satisfaction.

lidocaine; it is an amide local anaesthetic Recently its use as intravenous perioperative infusion for abdominal cancer surgeries is encouraging, as it significantly reduces postoperative pain, opioid consumption and nausea and vomiting. it also promotes gastrointestinal function recovery, and shortens the postoperative hospital stay. In addition, lidocaine in particular can act directly and indirectly on pancreatic cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment.

The investigators suggest that IV lidocaine infusion in combination with ERAPS protocol may achieve better postoperative outcomes after pancreatic surgery for cancer.
