Overview
The fast track postoperative protocol, also referred to as the method of accelerated rehabilitation, or ERAS (enhanced recovery after surgery), includes complex, modern procedures aimed at diminishing the frequency of postoperative complications, reducing the length of hospital stay and enhancing a patient’s comfort. It is characterized by a multidisciplinary approach which involves a urologist, anesthesiologist, nurse, physiotherapist and sometimes also nutrition specialist. Although, there is clear evidence that this method is beneficial, the majority of urology departments have not adopted this approach yet.
Key words:
fast track, intestinal obstruction, perioperative nutrition, radical cystectomy.
