Key result
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways improve outcomes in urologic surgery, though challenges remain in adoption, adherence, standardization, and expansion to more complex procedures.
Enhanced recovery protocols improve outcomes in urologic surgery, but challenges remain in adoption, adherence, and standardization.
May support ERAS in urologic surgery; leaves open standardization, adherence, and expansion to complex cases.
Coordinated multidisciplinary perioperative care through enhanced recovery protocols has improved outcomes within urologic surgery. Continued development and refinement of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways will further augment the care of patients undergoing all urologic procedures. Among the challenges, moving forward is identification of barriers to ERAS adoption by providers, maximizing adherence among patients, standardization of ERAS pathways through establishment of evidence-based principles, and application in additional complex urologic procedures beyond radical cystectomy.

Zainfeld et al. (2017) conducted a review in Urologic surgery. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways was evaluated. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways improve outcomes in urologic surgery, though challenges remain in adoption, adherence, standardization, and expansion to more complex procedures.
