Start Date

Completion Date

Summary
To learn if an accelerated recovery program can shorten the length of hospital stay in patients having minimally invasive liver surgery.
Detailed Description
Primary Objectives: Our study will investigate the feasibility of an accelerated recovery program to minimize length of stay (LOS) and facilitate outpatient surgery for patients undergoing minimally invasive, lower complexity (Kawaguchi-Gayet grade I) liver resection. This program (ARAMIS Hep) will combine minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approaches (robotic OR laparoscopic), enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, and Telehealth to liberalize discharge criteria in a safe manner. Secondary Objectives: In addition to demonstrating a reduction in LOS, our study will also provide preliminary data to aid in the broader implementation of this approach. Specifically, we will gain insight into the patient experience, measure patient-reported outcomes on recovery trajectories, and understand barriers to integrating a novel pathway into existing institutional frameworks.
