The treatment of choice in advanced ovarian cancer is a cytoreductive surgery combined with chemotherapeutic treatment. This complex and aggressive surgery is associated with high postoperative complication rates that may result in a strong negative impact on the clinical results due to the delay with the start of adjuvant chemotherapy as well as the costs from the surgical process. Multimodal prehabilitation has emerged as an innovative intervention that focuses on optimizing physiological and psychological resilience to withstand the upcoming stress of surgery. It has been shown to reduce postoperative complications in major abdominal surgery, but has not been assessed yet in abdominal onco-gynecological surgery.
Main objective: To determine the efficacy of multimodal prehabilitation in decreasing postoperative complications in patients undergoing gynecological cancer surgery of high complexity by laparotomy (primary cytoreductive surgery, interval surgery and secondary cytoreductive surgery in advanced ovarian cancer).
Design: Multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial. Subjects: 146 patients: 73 in the intervention group and 73 in the control group.
Intervention group: PreHAB intervention consists on:
Measures: Aerobic capacity (incremental stress test), physical activity, operative complications and hospital length and associated costs.
