Does the ERAS pathway reduce postoperative wound complications and severe hypoalbuminemia in patients undergoing posterior lumbar fusion surgery?
Implementation of an ERAS pathway in posterior lumbar fusion surgery is associated with improved postoperative outcomes, including reduced wound complications, shorter hospital stays, and fewer 90-day readmissions.
ERAS pathway might help decrease the rates of postoperative wound complications and severe hypoalbuminemia following PLF surgery; additionally, it demonstrated that ERAS pathway was also associated with shorter LOS and lower rate of readmissions within 90 days.
Wang et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
