ReviewPrehabilitation for the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Patient.
Prehabilitation proposes that broad health interventions at the time of decision for surgery will improve the patient's starting functional status and therefore recovery. ⋯ Preoperative health interventions may improve recovery in the postoperative period and patient health years later.

ReviewOperating Room Team Training with Simulation: A Systematic Review.
Nontechnical skills (NTS) such as teamwork and communication play an important role in preventing adverse outcomes in the operating room (OR). Simulation-based OR team training focused on these skills provides an environment where team members can learn with and from one another. We sought to conduct a systematic review to identify simulation-based approaches to NTS training for surgical teams. ⋯ Simulation-based OR team-training programs provide opportunities for NTS development and reflection by participants. Future programs could benefit from involving the full range of disciplines and professions that compose an OR team, as well as increased use of validated assessment instruments.

Review Meta Analysis Comparative StudyIntracorporeal Versus Extracorporeal Anastomosis in Laparoscopic Right Colectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
To compare intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) and extracorporeal anastomosis (EA) in laparoscopic right colectomy (LRC) in terms of intraoperative and postoperative outcomes. ⋯ Our meta-analysis suggests that the IA for LRC improves cosmesis and results in better postoperative recovery outcomes without increasing intraoperative and postoperative complications. Furthermore, a large randomized control study is warranted to compare the short-term and long-term outcomes of those two anastomosis techniques.
