Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol is a set of multidisciplinary, perioperative strategies designed to expedite surgical recovery without adversely impacting readmission or reoperation rates. Early paediatric urology data demonstrated ERAS reduced complications in this population.<h4>Methods and analysis</h4>In 2016, a working group of paediatric urologists and anaesthesiologists convened to develop an ERAS protocol suitable for patients undergoing lower urinary tract reconstruction and define study process measures, patient-reported outcomes and clinically rBMJ openDesign and development of the Pediatric Urology Recovery After Surgery Endeavor (PURSUE) multicentre pilot and exploratory study.PMC7684811N/AClinical and Operational Effectiveness and PatientCoplen DEPURSUE Study groupAuBuchon JVemulakonda VMVanderBrink BYerkes EBAnthony Herndon CDCaldwell BTBurjek NChan YYBrockel MASevick CJRove KOWelch TPChaudhry RMoore RPTraxel EJChu DIZee RSStrine ACVricella GJAustin PFWilcox DTfalseDesign and development of the Pediatric Urology Recovery After Surgery Endeavor (PURSUE) multicentre pilot and exploratory study.<h4>Introduction</h4>Lower urinary tract reconstruction in paediatric urology represents a physiologically stressful event that is associated with high complication rates, including readmissions and emergency room visits.
