| Core Tip |
Postoperative intraperitoneal effusion remains a significant clinical challenge following laparoscopic gastrectomy. This editorial highlights a paradigm shift toward proactive and precision-driven postoperative monitoring, as supported by emerging evidence. The integration of dynamic transabdominal ultrasonography—particularly the assessment of effusion characteristics (simple versus mixed echogenicity) at the critical 72-hour postoperative milestone—with serial procalcitonin measurements constitutes a superior dual-modality strategy for early risk stratification. This combined approach enables the timely identification of high-risk patients who are likely to develop infectious complications before clinical deterioration occurs. Incorporating this structured surveillance protocol into Enhanced Recovery After Surgery pathways exemplifies a transition from reactive management to preemptive intervention, thereby improving patient outcomes, optimizing resource utilization, and advancing the delivery of personalized postoperative care in surgical oncology. |
