Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) or in other words fast-track protocol roughly purposes to improve patient satisfaction, reduce complications and shorten the hospital stay. Chronic diseases, nutrition, and any volume depletion are corrected prior to surgery and less invasive surgical techniques are utilized to this end The impact of ERAS protocols in decreasing length of stay (LOS), reducing postoperative pain, improving early ambulation and decreasing the rate of potentially serious medical complications have been studied in patients undergoing colorectal, urologic, gastric and pancreatic surgery previously. However, data regarding the role of ERAS protocol in improving postoperative outcomes and postoperative compliance in patients undergoing urogynecological surgery is limited.~The present study purposes to clarify the role of the ERAS protocol on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing urogynecologic surgery.
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been shown to improve postoperative outcomes in a variety of surgical conditions. However, data regarding its role in urogynecologic surgery is limited. This study aimed to investigate the role of the ERAS protocol on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing urogynecologic surgery.
