Key result
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols for gynecological malignancies aim to reduce hospital stay and costs, with updated guidelines introducing same-day discharge for selected patients.
Why the study?
Despite the proven benefits of updated ERAS guidelines in gynecological malignancies, many obstacles to implementation remain, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
ERAS protocols in gynecologic oncology aim to improve recovery, increase patient satisfaction, and reduce hospital stay and costs, though implementation barriers remain.

ERAS protocols may shorten stays and cut costs in gynecologic surgery; leaves open validation for lower genital tract procedures.
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols or Fast Track programs aim at achieving a rapid and smooth recovery after an operative procedure through multimodal perioperative care protocols, including pre-, intra-, and postoperative care bundles. The aim is to increase patient satisfaction and reduce the length of hospital stay and the overall cost of hospitalization, which is particularly relevant for extensive gynecological surgeries. The new and updated ERAS guidelines on gynecological malignancies introduced a novel concept of same-day discharge for selected patients. Despite the proven benefits, there are many obstacles to implementing ERAS, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This article discusses the key features of the revised ERAS guidelines for gynecological malignancies and strategies to overcome obstacles to their implementation.
