Comparative Efficacy of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocols in Abdominal Wall Reconstruction: A Prospective Study

Dr. Saranala Soma Sai Aakash, Dr. K. Suhas

Abstract: This prospective study evaluates the comparative efficacy of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols versus conventional peri operative care in patients undergoing abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR). Sixty patients undergoing incisional, umbilical, or ventral hernia repair were randomised into two groups: ERAS (n=30) and conventional care (n=30). The primary outcomes assessed included length of hospital stay, time to oral diet, discontinuation of analgesia, and postoperative complications. ERAS patients exhibited statistically significant improvements in recovery parameters, including earlier ambulation, reduced hospital stay, and decreased complications. These findings support the adoption of ERAS pathways in abdominal wall surgery as a superior alternative to traditional care models.
