ERAS protocols and 'step-up' complication management are associated with improved short-term outcomes following elective total pancreatectomy: a multicenter cohort study.

BACKGROUND: Total pancreatectomy remains associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, largely driven by postoperative complications and failure-to-rescue. CONCLUSIONS: Combined ERAS and 'step-up' management was associated with improved safety and recovery after PPTP supporting broader implementation of standardized multidisciplinary perioperative care after total pancreate.
