Abstract
Objective
This joint research between the Departments of General Surgery and
Anesthesiology aimed to examine the feasibility and safety of enhanced
recovery after surgery (ERAS) in elective colorectal surgery.
Patients and methods
The study included 80 patients who were candidates for abdominal colorectal
surgery, and were randomly divided into two groups: group C contained 40 patients
managed perioperatively through conventional management procedures and group
E contained 40 patients managed according to ERAS protocols. Patients in both
groups were monitored throughout the perioperative period. Collected data
included compliance data, operative data, postoperative complications, bowel
recovery as well as the length of ICU and hospital stay.
Results
The overall compliance rates with the ERAS protocols was 80%. No significant
difference was found between the two groups concerning operative time. Pain
scores were significantly low (P
