Did you know that you can recover faster when undergoing total hip or knee replacement surgery through the specialised Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) approach? With ERAS Total Hip and Knee Surgery, patients experience accelerated recovery, minimal postoperative pain and a shorter hospital stay.
ENHANCED RECOVERY AFTER SURGERY (ERAS)
ERAS is a patient-centered approach that involves a series of preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative procedures aimed at reducing the psychological stress induced during surgery. The guidelines of ERAS aim to accelerate the recovery process while maintaining or improving the quality of patient care, ensuring that patients can return to the daily activities they love quickly.
This is achieved through meticulous attention to detail in surgical procedures, pain management, patient education, nutrition and physical rehabilitation, making the entire surgical experience as seamless and efficient as possible. So, how does ERAS differ from traditional surgical approaches? Let us examine the three different stages: preoperative preparation, intraoperative techniques and postoperative care.
PREOPERATIVE PREPARATION
The success of ERAS starts with comprehensive preoperative preparation. This phase involves educating the patient about the surgery, which reduces anxiety and sets realistic expectations. Assessments include detailed health evaluations to optimise the patient’s physical condition. For example, patients may be advised to improve their nutritional status, cease smoking, and manage chronic diseases such as diabetes or hypertension under medical supervision. These steps are crucial in minimising surgical risks and enhancing postoperative recovery.
