| Abstract | ||
| Background: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols are designed to enhance patient recovery by optimizing preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care. The implementation of these protocols in obstetrics and gynecology has demonstrated significant benefits, including reduced length of hospital stay and improved patient satisfaction. ERAS protocols aim to improve patient outcomes by reducing recovery time and complications through a multidisciplinary approach. Aim: This review evaluates ERAS applications in obstetrics and gynecology, highlighting differences in recovery between these fields. In addition, it explores the general principles of ERAS, its application in obstetrics and gynecologic surgeries, and the roles of healthcare providers. Methods: We used search engines like google scholar, SciSpace and PubMed from 2019 to 2023. Results: ERAS protocols offer substantial benefits across various types of obstetrical and gynecological surgeries. By focusing on preoperative optimization, minimally invasive techniques, and early postoperative mobilization, these protocols improve patient outcomes and provide advantages for healthcare providers and hospitals. Conclusion: Tailoring ERAS protocols to the specific needs of obstetrics and gynecologic patients is crucial for maximizing recovery and minimizing complications. | ||
