Abstract

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols challenge the conventional and rigid methods of surgery and anesthesia and bring about novel changes that are quite drastic. The core principle of the protocol is to minimize the metabolic disturbance caused by surgical injury, facilitate the restoration of functions in a brief period, and promote the resumption of normal activity at the earliest. To compare the outcomes of ERAS and standard protocol for patients who have undergone radical cystectomy (RC) with ileal conduit urinary diversion. This prospective randomized controlled study was performed between 2015 and 2023. The 77 patients were divided into two groups ERAS (n=39) and Standard (n=38) by sequential randomization. These two groups are divided according to protocols of bowel preparation, anesthesia, and postoperative nutrition. The clinical and demographic characteristics of the patients, and the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scores were recorded. Perioperative findings, the degree of complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification, and the total cost of treatment were recorded and analyzed. Length of hospital stay (18.82 +/- 9.25 day vs 27.34 +/- 15.05 day), and cost of treatment (2168,2 +/- 933$ 2879 +/- 1806$) were higher in the standard group. The rate of nausea and vomiting and the use of antiemetics were higher in the ERAS group compared to the standard group. In patients undergoing RC, the ERAS protocol was found to shorten the duration of hospitalization and reduce the total cost of hospital stay.
