Enhanced recovery after surgery program in Gynaecologic Oncological surgery in a minimally invasive techniques expert center. 

Lambaudie E et al (2017)Enhanced recovery after surgery program in Gynaecologic Oncological surgery in a minimally invasive techniques expert center. BMC Surg. 2017 Dec 28;17(1):136.

What is already known:

Minimally invasive surgery is an important part of any comprehensive ERAS programme, but it is obviously not the only element. This single centre retrospective analysis of how the introduction of an ERAS pathway affected length of stay, morbidity and readmissions in their institution.

What this paper adds:

This paper shows that even in a high-volume centre, already used to performing minimally invasive surgery, a comprehensive ERAS pathway can still improve length of stay. Although in this study there was no effect on rates of morbidity or readmission.
