Greater fear or distress prior to surgery is associated with a slower and more complicated postoperative recovery. The main objective of this study is to examine the best evidence of the perioperative pain management in patients candidated for abdominal surgery comparing the clinical outcomes achieved with the ERAS® protocol to those achieved with traditional perioperative management. The studies showed that perioperative analgesia was more effective with ERAS® protocol than with traditional treatments.

The aim of this study is to define the role of preoperative positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy for nodal metastasis detection in Endometrial Cancer (EC) patients. From January 2014 to August 2016 patients affected by EC scheduled for surgery underwent PET/CT scan and SLN mapping with indocyanine-green. Patients with suspicious lymph nodes at FDG-PET/CT underwent selective pelvic lymphadenectomy. In case of undetectable SLN, no further lymphadenectomy was performed if PET/CT scan was negative.
