Implementing Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Pathways In Major Gynecologic Oncology Operations In Greece
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating ERAS protocol for Ovarian Cancer and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 101 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program includes preoperative counseling, fasting avoidance, non-opioid analgesia, fluid balance, normothermia and early mobilization. ERAS pathways were developed to reduce hospital length of stay, reduce costs and decrease perioperative opioid requirements, and be beneficial for patients. We propose the hypothesis that the ERAS pathway could reduce the length of stay (LOS) in hospital for patients undergoing major gynecologic oncology surgery (MGOS). Patients were randomly allocated in two groups: An ERAS pathway group including preoperative counseling, early feeding/mobilization, and opioid-sparing multimodal analgesia; and a classic model group of post operative recovery as control.

Timeline
Interventions
special approaches in three phases preoperatively, intraoperatively and postoperatively, by an interdisciplinary team comprising of the surgeon, the anesthesiologist and the nurse. The combination of these techniques reduces the reaction to postoperative stress, relieves acute postoperative pain, restores the patient immediately to their original feeding and mobilization habits, thus reducing the time required for their complete recovery.
