Purpose: Time to initiation and completion of adjuvant therapy are critical to improve postoperative oncologic outcomes. This study aims to determine whether an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathway for gastric cancer surgery promotes early Return to Intended Oncologic Therapy (RIOT).
Methods: This is a before-after intervention study including patients with gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent surgery from January 2016 to January 2021. Two periods were denoted based upon the implementation date of our institutional ERAS pathway (June 2018). Our primary outcome was time to RIOT after surgery. Hodges-Lehmann analysis was used to estimate median differences of non-parametric outcomes.
Results: Seventy patients with gastric adenocarcinoma were included (35 in pre-ERAS period and 35 in post-ERAS period). Fourteen of the pre-ERAS and twenty-two patients of the post-ERAS period received adjuvant therapy. Time to RIOT was reduced in the post-ERAS period (median 39 days, IQR 31-49) by 12 days (95% CI 3-14 days, p = 0.01) compared to the pre-ERAS period (median 51 days, IQR 42-62). Length of hospital stay (LOS) was lower in the ERAS group (6 days, IQR 5-11 vs 10 days, IQR 8-13, p < 0.01).
Conclusion: Our institutional ERAS pathway for gastric cancer surgery was associated with earlier RIOT and shorter LOS.

Objective: To compare the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) among patients undergoing gynecologic surgery before and after implementing an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathway.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of medical records from Mayo Clinic during three time periods when ERAS was used, focusing on patients who underwent open gynecologic surgery. AKI was defined using Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria.

Purpose: This study examines the impact of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS®) on patient recovery after elective colorectal surgery. The innovative PostopQRS™ tool was used for the analysis of patient recovery.
Methods: This single-center study compares three cohorts: two retrospective cohorts before (A) and after (B) ERAS® implementation and a prospective cohort post-ERAS® implementation (C) using PostopQRS™.

Introduction: While the adoption of ERAS protocols in bariatric surgery has increased, variability exists across centers, reflecting a spectrum of implementation stages. The objective of this study is to understand and increase awareness of the effectiveness of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols in bariatric surgery, given the specific perioperative difficulties and risks for this population. We aimed to study the association between implementation of the ERAS program in bariatric surgery and specific outcomes.

Objective: This study evaluates the implementation of an ERAS program in the gynecological surgery department of Caen University Hospital and its impact on the management of endometrial cancer. The objective was to show its impact on the length of hospitalization of patients before and after its implementation.
Patients And Method: We conducted a retrospective study including all women treated surgically for endometrial cancer at Caen University Hospital between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2021.
Benefits of Implementing an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocol in Ambulatory Surgery.

Background: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols in orthopaedic surgery have garnered significant focus due to their ability to control pain adequately in the immediate postoperative window, allowing for earlier mobilization, shorter hospital stays, and fewer complications. Virginia Commonwealth University created a multimodal pain management approach in which patients receive a preoperative femoral nerve block followed by periarticular intraoperative local injection anesthesia consisting of bupivacaine, ketamine, and ketorolac.
Hypothesis: We hypothesized that implementation of the ERAS protocol will decrease postoperative pain scores, decrease recovery time in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), and decrease opioid use in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
