Abstract
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols comprise a multimodal approach to optimize patient outcome and recovery. ERAS guidelines recommend minimally invasive surgery (MIS) when possible. Key components in MIS include preoperative patient education and optimization; multimodal and narcotic-sparing analgesia; prophylactic measures regarding nausea, infection, and venous thrombosis; maintenance of euvolemia; and promotion of the early activity. ERAS protocols in MIS improve outcome mainly in terms of reduced length of stay and subsequently reduced cost. In addition, ERAS protocols in MIS reduce postoperative pain and nausea, increase patient satisfaction, and might reduce the rate of postoperative complications. Robotic surgery supports ERAS through facilitating MIS in complex procedures where laparotomy is an alternative approach.

Abstract
This study aimed to systematically review the available literature on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) following gynecologic procedures performed either as an open surgery or as a minimally invasive gynecological surgery (MIGS) in terms of outcomes. This review revealed the results of published literature and assessed the benefits and diverse outcomes of ERAS implementation in patients undergoing MIGS or other gynecologic surgeries. In this review, we sought to examine the efficacy of entire ERAS protocols, faithfully performed, to determine whether they were successful in improving individual attributes of surgical recovery. Electronic databases of PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, Scopus, MEDLINE, and ClinicalTrials.gov were systematically searched in January 2021 for relevant studies. Data were extracted from eligible studies including LOS, change in the quality-of-life and recovery over time, postoperative complications including nausea and vomiting, opioid or anesthesia use, hospital cost, patient satisfaction, postoperative pain, and readmission rate as outcomes. Many of the included studies reported a significant reduction in the LOS as well as in readmission rates, hospital cost, and occurrence of nausea and vomiting postoperatively. Moreover, a clinically significant increase was noted in patient satisfaction in studies that have used tools that measure patient satisfaction. No studies have reported a significant increase in the overall quality of recovery using appropriately validated tools. Following ERAS implementation, patients’ postoperative rehabilitation, including postoperative discomfort, readmission rates, and satisfaction, showed a clinically significant improvement.

J Minim Invasive Gynecol 2021; 28:1610-1617.e6. [PMID: 33676007 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmig.2021.01.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2020] [Revised: 01/28/2021] [Accepted: 01/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To assess whether a full enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program can further improve perioperative outcomes among patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic procedures relative to those receiving limited ERAS management. DESIGN Randomized controlled trial. SETTING Tertiary hospital, China: December 2018 to October 2019. PATIENTS Total of 144 women scheduled for simple elective gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. INTERVENTIONS The participants were randomized into 2 groups: full ERAS intervention or limited ERAS management (without preoperative carbohydrate loading or total intravenous anesthesia or opiate-sparing multimodal analgesia). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The primary outcome was postoperative length of stay (LOS), and the secondary outcomes included postoperative pain, time to postoperative milestones, morbidity, and in-hospital cost. Postoperative LOS for the full ERAS program showed a 1-day reduction in comparison with the limited ERAS group (median of 1.0 day vs 2.0 days, respectively; p = .001). Multivariate regression analysis identified preoperative carbohydrate loading and opioid-sparing analgesia as the independent factors for discharging on postoperative day 1. Patients in the full ERAS program reported less pain within 72 hours after surgery and had a lower narcotic consumption rate compared with those in the limited ERAS management. They also enjoyed better and faster recovery as demonstrated by the Quality of Recovery-15 scale on postoperative day 3: 137.0 (interquartile range, 126.3-141.0) for full ERAS program vs 130.0 (23.5-139.0) for limited ERAS management, respectively (p = .030). There were no significant differences between the groups regarding postoperative 30-day morbidity, readmission rate, or in-hospital cost. CONCLUSION The addition of full ERAS management can further reduce postoperative LOS and improve patients' quality of life after laparoscopic surgery for gynecologic diseases.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To evaluate surgical outcomes of intracapsular single-layer myomectomy in terms of efficacy and safety as well as examine potential alterations based on kind of surgical approach. METHODS A prospective observational study was performed between January 2010 and December 2018. Women in reproductive age, affected by intramural or subserous myomas (FIGO type 3-6) of 4-14 cm diameter were enrolled. Primary outcomes included initial and final uterine incision length, time to wound healing and uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancies. Furthermore, a sub-analysis was also performed regarding surgical approach, namely laparoscopical or laparoscopically-assisted myomectomy, in order to confirm whether overall observations are similar for both potential surgical approaches. RESULTS There were finally 273 patients included in the present study. Overall mean uterine incision was initially 3.1 cm and was shortened to 2.2 cm at the end of operation, indicating a reduction of 29.1 %. Mean estimated blood loss was 154.2 mL and mean operative time was 82.1 min. No severe intraoperative and postoperative complications were presented. 121 of the studied women had pregnancy 3-36 months after myomectomy, without reporting any uterine rupture. When comparing LIM vs. LAIM, all outcomes were also favorable in the total of patients. CONCLUSION Intracapsular myomectomy either by LIM or LAIM is a safe and attractive alternative to abdominal myomectomy in setting of premenopausal patients with myomas up to 14 cm. A single-layer continuous suturing in intracapsular myomectomies is enough for a successful wound healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pain control after urogynecological surgery has traditionally been opioid centered with frequent narcotic administration. Few studies have addressed optimal pain control strategies for vaginal pelvic reconstructive surgery that limit opioid use. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to determine whether, ice packs, Tylenol, and Toradol, a novel opioid-sparing multimodal postoperative pain regimen has improved pain control compared with the standard postoperative pain regimen in patients undergoing inpatient vaginal pelvic reconstructive surgery. STUDY DESIGN This was a multicenter randomized controlled trial of women undergoing vaginal pelvic reconstructive surgery. Patients were randomized to the ice packs, Tylenol, and Toradol postoperative pain regimen or the standard regimen. The ice packs, Tylenol, and Toradol regimen consists of around-the-clock ice packs, around-the-clock oral acetaminophen, around-the-clock intravenous ketorolac, and intravenous hydromorphone for breakthrough pain. The standard regimen consists of as-needed ibuprofen, as-needed acetaminophen/oxycodone, and intravenous hydromorphone for breakthrough pain. The primary outcome was postoperative day 1 pain evaluated the morning after surgery using a visual analog scale. Secondary outcomes included the validated Quality of Recovery Questionnaire, satisfaction scores, inpatient narcotic consumption, outpatient pain medication consumption, and visual analog scale scores at other time intervals. In all, 27 patients in each arm were required to detect a mean difference of 25 mm on a 100 mm visual analog scale (90% power). RESULTS Thirty patients were randomized to ice packs, Tylenol, and Toradol and 33 to the standard therapy. Patient and surgical demographics were similar. The median morning visual analog scale pain score was lower in the ice packs, Tylenol, and Toradol group (20 mm vs 40 mm, P = .03). Numerical median pain scores were lower at the 96 hour phone call in the ice packs, Tylenol, and Toradol group (2 vs 3, P = .04). Patients randomized to the ICE-T regimen received fewer narcotics (expressed in oral morphine equivalents) from the postanesthesia care unit exit to discharge (2.9 vs 20.4, P < .001) and received fewer narcotics during the entire hospitalization (55.7 vs 91.2, P < .001). At 96 hour follow up, patients in the ice packs, Tylenol, and Toradol group used 4.9 ketorolac tablets compared with 4.6 oxycodone/acetaminophen tablets in the standard group (P = .81); however, ice packs, Tylenol, and Toradol patients required more acetaminophen than ibuprofen by patients in the standard arm (10.7 vs 6.2 tablets, P = .012). There were no differences in Quality of Recovery Questionnaire or satisfaction scores either in the morning after surgery or at 96 hour follow up. CONCLUSION The ice packs, Tylenol, and Toradol multimodal pain regimen offers improved pain control the morning after surgery and 96 hours postoperatively compared with the standard regimen with no differences in patient satisfaction and quality of recovery. Ice packs, Tylenol, and Toradol can significantly limit postoperative inpatient narcotic use and eliminate outpatient narcotic use in patients undergoing vaginal pelvic reconstructive surgery.

Abstract
Enhanced recovery programs aim to reduce surgical stress to improve the patient perioperative experience. Through a combination of multimodal analgesia and maintaining a physiological state, postoperative recovery is improved. Many analgesic adjuncts are available that improve postoperative pain control and limit opioid analgesia requirements. Adjuncts are often used in combination, but different interventions may be incorporated for patient-specific and procedure-specific needs. Postoperative pain control can be optimized by continuing nonopioid adjuncts, and prescribing opioid analgesia to address breakthrough pain. Prescribing practices should balance optimizing pain relief, minimizing the risk of chronic pain, while limiting the potential for opioid misuse.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to review the recent literature on surgical pain management strategies and to identify those pertinent to urogynecologic surgery. METHODS A literature search using Pubmed and MEDLINE was performed for trials on pain management in gynecologic surgery. Evidenced-based recommendations for preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative pain control strategies for gynecologic procedures by various surgical routes were identified. Articles specifically describing urogynecologic procedures were sought, but quality, randomized trials on pain management modalities in other gynecologic procedures were also included. RESULTS Although few randomized trials on pain management strategies in urogynecologic surgery exist, quality evidence suggests that several preemptive and multimodal analgesia strategies reduce pain and opioid-related adverse events in abdominal, laparoscopic, and vaginal surgery. Evidence supporting these strategies is outlined. Many are likely applicable to urogynecologic procedures. CONCLUSIONS Evidence guiding pain management in specific urogynecologic procedures is sparse and should be sought in future studies. When possible, procedure-specific strategies, including preemptive and multimodal techniques, should be implemented.
