National Surgical Quality Improvement Program audit of contemporary perioperative care for radical cystectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the impact of increased compliance to contemporary perioperative care measures, as outlined by enhanced recover after surgery (ERAS) guidelines, among patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC).

Patients and methods

From the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database we captured patients undergoing RC between 2019 and 2021.
