Summary
NEXPREM is a single-center non-blinded randomized controlled trial investigating preoperative exercise and nutrition for sarcopenic patients in major hepatic surgery for liver malignancies. Patients with sarcopenia undergoing major hepatectomies have high rates of postoperative complications. Previous studies have demonstrated that preoperative rehabilitation with exercise and nutrition may help reduce the negative impact of sarcopenia. The investigator's hypothesis is that preoperative nutrition and exercise may reduce complications in sarcopenic patients undergoing major hepatectomies. Sarcopenic patients at diagnosis will be randomized in Group A undergoing upfront surgery and Group B undergoing preoperative rehabilitation. Outcome will be overall 90 day morbidity.
