Why the study?
Surgical stress impacts organ system physiology, and this review was conducted to highlight current evidence and recommendations for postoperative ERAS pathways in gynecologic surgery.
Do enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways improve postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing gynecologic surgery?
Do enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways improve postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing gynecologic surgery?
Implementation of ERAS pathways in gynecologic surgery is recommended as it provides multiple postoperative benefits including reduced length of stay and lower complication rates.
ERAS may aid recovery after gynecologic surgery; leaves open need for RCTs to guide adoption.
Surgical stress affects the physiology of nearly every organ system. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols counter these stressors to maintain normal physiology and promote postoperative recovery. In gynecologic surgery, ERAS pathways are associated with many postoperative benefits, including shorter length of stay, decreased pain, faster return of bowel function and both lower complication and readmission rates. This review highlights the current evidence and recommendations regarding postoperative ERAS pathways in gynecologic surgery.
