Objective: To reduce recurrence rates in patients with severe forms of female genital prolapse (FGP), by introducing the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol.
Materials and methods: The ERAS protocol was applied to 72 patients aged 62.6 (8.2) years, operated on for grade II—IIIFGP according to the international Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) classification. A comparison group consisted of 26 patients of the same age who had been treated by the traditional procedure. Postoperative quantitative and qualitative indicators were estimated. The duration of thefollow-up was 12 months.
Results: The early postoperative period was uncomplicated in both groups, however, the recovery time of urination was 24 (20;48) hours in the study group versus 48 (36;72) hours in the comparison group, and a cleansing enema was not required. The postoperative length was 2.1 bed-days shorter in the study group than in the comparison one. In the study group, 96% and 93% of the operated women were observed to have no recurrences and to be satisfied with their quality of life at 3 and 12 months after surgery.
Conclusion: The clinical introduction of the ERAS protocol could decline the number of postoperative complications by 3.3 times and reduce the length of stay in hospital, the financial costs of treatment by 10,593 rubles, and also the number of FGP recurrences by 1.7 times.
