Accelerated Recovery After MIS Hepatectomy (ARAMIS Hep) to Support Early Discharge for Patients Undergoing Minimally Invasive Liver Resection
To learn if an accelerated recovery program can shorten the length of hospital stay in patients having minimally invasive liver surgery.
• Tumor amenable to MIS Kawaguchi-Gayet grade I hepatectomy (see figure 1 below)
• No evidence of cirrhosis (based on imaging, evidence of portal hypertension, clinical features, or laboratory results)
• No significant cardiopulmonary disease that would prevent patients from undergoing MIS resection
• Ability to stay within 50 miles of medical center for immediate postop period
• Age of 18 years or above - because no adverse event data are currently available on enhanced recovery and early discharge after hepatic resection for patients \<18 years of age, children are excluded from this study
• Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
• Non-English-speaking patients are eligible for participation
