Why the study?
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) in neurosurgery is a developing concept to enhance postoperative recovery, provide early functional recovery, and shorten length of stay for supratentorial brain tumor patients.
Case Report (n=1)
Perioperative ERAS management, including general anesthesia with a scalp block, facilitated early functional recovery and a short hospital stay in a patient undergoing craniotomy for a supratentorial tumor.
ERAS may be feasible in supratentorial tumor resection; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Early Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) in neurosurgery is a promising and developing concept directed to enhance postoperative recovery for neurosurgical patient. ERAS application to supratentorial brain tumor patient’s will provide advantage of early functional recovery and shorter length of stay. We reported a successful anesthetic management for a 45-year-old woman, diagnosed with a left frontotemporal extra axial tumor, suspected left parasagittal meningioma. Preoperative, patient was fully conscious but complained occasional headache and blurred vision with normal hemodynamic parameters. We performed general anesthesia with additional scalp block for this patient to facilitate the surgery, which lasted 3 hours 20 minutes. The surgery went uneventful with a stable hemodynamic, patient was extubated in the operating theatre and monitored in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). After two days in the ICU, we transferred the patient to the ward. She was discharged on the fifth day and controlled as an outpatient care. Perioperative management of patients with supratentorial tumor whom undergo craniotomy for tumor removal could be performed to facilitate early recovery. Appropriate multidisciplinary management in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative periods, with regard to the underlying disease, is important to successfully perform the ERAS.
