Introduction: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) principles is an evidence-based surgical management approach that requires cooperation across various medical specialties. In this study, we applied ERAS principles in total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and the post-operative outcomes like post-operative pain, nausea and vomiting, opioid requirement, day of discharge, and any other complaints were studied.
Methods: The study was conducted in a private healthcare setup in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. In this non-randomised controlled study 103 patients who underwent TLH over a period of 1 year were alternatively allocated to the study group and the control group. There were 51 patients in the study group in whom ERAS principles were applied and 52 patients in control group in whom traditional post-operative care was given.
Results: Post-operative nausea and vomiting and opioid requirement were significantly reduced in the study group (P < 0.05). The post-operative pain was similar in both groups. The majority of patients in study group were discharged within 24 h as compared to the routine discharge after 48 h.
Conclusion: Following ERAS principles in TLH results in decrease in post-operative nausea and vomiting, post-operative opioid requirement and hospital stay. Hence, the ERAS principles should be the standard practice in TLH even in a developing country setup.

In this paper, we address the question: what practices would be required for the responsible design and operation of real-world swarm robotic systems? We argue that swarm robotic systems must be developed and operated within a framework of ethical governance. We will also explore the human factors surrounding the operation and management of swarm systems, advancing the view that human factors are no less important to swarm robots than social robots. Ethical governance must be anticipatory, and a powerful method for practical anticipatory governance is ethical risk assessment (ERA).

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a recovery method developed to minimize pain and improve post-operative healing in patients. Brain tumor resection using the ERAS concept is relatively new. This case series evaluates the implementation of the ERAS protocol in three female patients diagnosed with supratentorial brain tumors.

Orthopedics is a critical hospital department that has experienced shifts in the spectrum of orthopedic conditions due to societal advancements in recent years. While surgical interventions are effective in restoring fracture function, perioperative care remains a key factor in optimizing patient recovery. This study aims to assess the impact of orthopedic rehabilitation care based on the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol on postoperative rehabilitation.

Perioperative fluid therapy is a pivotal component of surgical patient management, as appropriate fluid administration can significantly enhance postoperative recovery. To standardize perioperative fluid therapy for adult patients in China, the Geriatric Anesthesia and Perioperative Management Group of the Chinese Society of Anesthesiology has developed the "Clinical Practice Guidelines for Perioperative Fluid Therapy in Chinese Adult Patients". Based on current clinical status in China, this guideline addressed 11 key areas based on clinical evidence, more than 30% of which is from China researchers, including principles for the selection of common fluid types, preoperative fasting and hydration following enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, intraoperative fluid requirements for adult patients, perioperative volume assessment, perioperative evaluation of volume overload/insufficiency, goal-directed fluid therapy, restrictive fluid therapy, perioperative fluid therapy strategies for high-risk patients, fluid resuscitation for massive blood loss, the relationship between perioperative fluid therapy and postoperative complications, and the relationship between perioperative fluid therapy and ERAS.

Background: Application of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways in robotic lobectomy have been associated with decreased length of stay (LOS). We evaluated differences in patient characteristics and achievements of ERAS benchmarks by discharge groups at a tertiary referral center.
Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained ERAS database of patients undergoing robotic lobectomy for pulmonary malignancy.
