A well-implemented ERAS protocol with good compliance is associated with a reduction in medical complications and length of hospital stay .
Enhanced recovery after surgery ( ERAS ) pathways are now implemented worldwide with strong evidence that adhesion to such protocol reduces medical complications , costs and hospital stay .
This concept has been applied for pancreatic surgery since the first published guidelines in 2012 .
This study presents the up date d ERAS recommendations for  pancreatoduodenectomy ( PD )  based on the best available evidence and on expert consensus .
ALEXIS O‐Ring wound retractor vs conventional wound protection for the prevention of surgical site infections in colorectal resections 1
Aim Surgical site infection ( SSI ) remains a common postoperative morbidity , particularly in colorectal resections , and poses a significant financial burden to the healthcare system . The omission of mechanical bowel preparation , as is performed in enhanced recovery after surgery programmes , appears to further increase the incidence . Various wound protection methods have been devised to reduce the incidence of SSIs . However , there are few r and omized controlled trials assessing their efficacy . The aim of this study is to investigate whether ALEXIS wound retractors with reinforced O‐rings are superior to conventional wound protection methods in preventing SSIs in colorectal resections
