ABSTRACT
This meta-analysis assesses the impact of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols on surgical site wound infections (SSWIs) in urological procedures. Analysing data from 10 studies, our focus was on SSWI rates on the third and seventh postoperative days. The results reveal a significant reduction in SSWI rates for patients managed under ERAS protocols compared with traditional care. Notably, Figure 4 demonstrates a substantial decrease in SSWI on the third day (I2 = 93%; random standardized mean difference [SMD] -6.25, 95% confidence interval [CI] -7.42 to -5.05, p < 0.01), and Figure 5 mirrors this trend on the seventh day (I2 = 95%; random SMD -4.72, 95% CI -6.28 to -3.16, p < 0.01). These findings underscore the effectiveness of ERAS protocols in minimizing early postoperative wound infections, emphasizing their importance for broader implementation in urological surgeries.
