A Comprehensive Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocol for Thyroidectomy
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocol and Conventional perioperative care for Thyroid Diseases and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 143 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Thyroidectomy is generally considered a low-to-moderate risk operation; however, postoperative pain, nausea/vomiting, and prolonged hospital stays remain common issues. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways aim to optimize perioperative care and accelerate recovery. This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of a standardized ERAS pathway in patients undergoing elective thyroidectomy. The prospective ERAS cohort is compared with a historical control group receiving conventional care to assess the impact on the length of hospital stay, postoperative pain, opioid consumption, and complication rates.
