Perioperative management of oncological gynaecological robotic surgery patients (application of the ERAS protocol): a narrative literature review

Objective.The primary objective of this narrative review is to provide an overview of the status of perioperative management of patients undergoing robotic gynaecological surgery and the implementation of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol.Materials and Methods.The narrative literature was conducted through medical databases such as PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science.Articles and studies relevant to the keywords were retrieved.Descriptive methods were used to summarise and interpret data from the various included studies.Results.Robotic gynaecological surgery offers numerous advantages, including shorter hospital stays, lower postoperative complication rates, and improved aesthetic outcomes.The use of the ERAS protocol has further demonstrated improved patient management and postoperative outcomes.Conclusions.Robotic surgery combined with the ERAS protocol significantly improves the surgical management of gynaecological pathologies.However, it is crucial to balance the potential benefits with the associated challenges and risks to ensure safety and efficacy for patients.
