ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To achieve early recovery and early discharge from the hospital by applying an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol, which is mainly used with colonic surgery, for the perioperative management of open AAA surgery.METHOD:
One hundred twenty-seven open AAA surgery cases successfully carried out between 2003 and 2011 were included in this study. The ERAS protocol was used for the cases from April 2008 onward, and we performed a comparison of the conventionally treated cases with ERAS cases regarding the start of postoperative oral consumption, the postoperative hospital stay, and hospitalization medical costs.RESULTS:
The time to restarting oral consumption and the postoperative hospital stay were significantly shorter for the ERAS group (n = 52) compared to the conventionally managed group (n = 75); with values of 59 ± 15 and 93 ± 25 h (p = 0.021), 9 ± 3 and 16 ± 5 days (p = 0.001), respectively. The medical costs for the ERAS group were 92 % of the costs of the conventionally managed group.CONCLUSION:
Use of the ERAS protocol for the perioperative management of open AAA surgery shortened the time before recommencing oral consumption, the postoperative hospital stay, and reduced the medical costs compared to the conventional approach.
