Abstract:
OBJECTIVE
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) represents an evidenced-based approach to surgical management challenging traditional paradigms with the goal of maintaining normal physiology perioperatively, hence, these benefits were replicated across the spectrum of gynecologic surgeries. The study aims to determine if there is a significant difference in patient's outcome between ERAS and standard diet who will undergo elective abdominal hysterectomies with or without salpingo oophorectomy for benign gynecologic lesions.
METHODThis study is a single blind, superiority, randomized controlled trial design. Participants were group as ERAS and standard diet. A total of 15 cases in each study arm was judged sufficient to ensure confidence interval of 95%, 80% power (beta error), 5% margin of error, 50 % of exposed with outcome and 0.5% percent of unexposed with outcome generated from OpenEpi Version 3.01. It utilized descriptive and inferential analysis. Comparative analysis was done using Z-test of proportion for categorical variables and MannWhitney test for continuous variable. Two tailed with values of P < 0.05 were concluded statistically significant.
RESULTSBetween January 2021 to December 2021, there were 30 cases participated in this study. ERAS shown better result such as shorter length of hospital stay (pCONCLUSION
The study showed better patient's outcome, postoperative complications and subjective well-being who underwent elective abdominal hysterectomies with or without salpingo-oophorectomy for benign gynecologic lesions under ERAS. Our findings may contribute in the standardization of guidelines for perioperative nutritional care in elective abdominal hysterectomies with or without salpingooophorectomy for benign gynecologic conditions.
