Enhanced recovery is an established perioperative care plan in colorectal surgery. The feasibility and efficacy in noncolorectal
fields is in evolution. The purpose of this session is to describe goals, strategies and tactics for achieving
success with these unique programs. Special emphasis will be on analytic models and future directions in clinical
research regarding enhanced recovery pathways.
SESSION OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
• Describe how system science including factor analysis can be used to measure the success of enhanced recovery
• Describe the elements and outcomes related to enhanced recovery after these types of surgery:
- Foregut/esophagus
- HPB
- Bariatric
- Hernia repair

Program of the “Americas” Joint Panel:
What I Thought was a Fact is a Myth?
Chair: Natan Zundel, MD | Co-Chair: Samuel Shuchleib, MD and Antonio Bispo, MD
SESSION DESCRIPTION
There are some controversial subjects, for which we think we have the answers. Sometimes, however, there is a lack
of evidence to support these “facts” which are actually just myths. In this session we will hear from experts across the
Americas who will discuss some controversial “facts” and present both sides of the coin so that you can decide fact or
myth for yourself.
