Effect of enhanced recovery after surgery on older patients undergoing transvaginal pelvic floor reconstruction surgery: a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prospective trial evidence is lacking regarding the application of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in transvaginal pelvic floor reconstruction surgery among older patients. Our study aimed to investigate whether implementing the ERAS protocol could enhance post-operative recovery in this patient population.

Methods

Older patients undergoing elective transvaginal pelvic floor reconstruction surgery were randomly assigned to either the ERAS group or the conventional group. The primary outcome was post-operative length of stay (LOS). The secondary outcomes encompassed other post-operative recovery metrics, post-operative pain within 30 days, the occurrence of complications, the peri-operative blood test and cognitive function.

Results

A cohort of 100 pa
