Evaluation of the Benefits of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocol in Pelvic Prolapse
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
ERAS protocols have been shown to improve recovery in terms of reduced pain, shortened time to ambulation and length of hospital stay. This study aims to investigate the impact of ERAS protocol on time to mobilization and length of hospital stay in patients undergoing surgery for urinary incontinence and pelvic prolapse.

Detailed Description
ERAS protocols containing several preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative measures have been shown to improve recovery in terms of reduced pain, shortened time to ambulation and length of hospital stay in patients undergoing surgery. However, data concerning the role of ERAS protocols in urogynecological surgery is limited. The present study, therefore, aimed to address the role of ERAS protocols in patients undergoing surgery for urinary incontinence and pelvic prolapse.
