Enhanced Recovery After Surgery: Urology

Ava Saidian et al. Surg Clin North Am. 2018 Dec.

Abstract

Enhanced recovery after surgery programs were developed as a type of standardized evidence-based perioperative care protocols. The necessity and benefit of clinical care pathways is not a new phenomenon in urology and have been a big part of the evolution of care for urology patients, especially in terms of urologic oncology. This article discusses the key components of evidence-based perioperative care in key urologic procedures. These protocols have been shown to decrease length of stay, decrease complications, and reduce cost.

Keywords: Clinical care pathways; ERAS; Enhanced recovery after surgery; Perioperative care.
