Enhanced Recovery Program for Outpatient Female Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery.

Objectives: Enhanced recovery programs (ERPs) are evidence-based perioperative interventions designed to reduce narcotic use, decrease hospital length of stay, decrease medical costs, and improve patient satisfaction. Given the increase in outpatient procedures in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, we sought to compare patient outcomes before and after implementation of an ERP for women undergoing outpatient pelvic reconstructive surgery.

Methods: This was a prospective nonrandomized cohort quality improvement practice initiative.
