Outcomes and Metrics of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) in Gynecology

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is an evidence-based, multimodal, perioperative care pathway that has been demonstrated to improve outcomes for patients undergoing surgery. In gynecology, there is evidence that ERAS is associated in reduction in length of stay, perioperative complications, and health care costs. The purpose of this narrative review is to discuss the outcome measures and metrics of ERAS in gynecologic surgery. Furthermore, to consider future directions for outcomes and metrics for ERAS in gynecologic surgery.
