While such programs have been developed in other surgical subspecialties, there have yet to be guidelines published specifically for laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT). Here we describe the first multidisciplinary ERAS preliminary protocol for LITT for the treatment of brain tumors.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Between the years 2013 and 2021, 184 adult patients consecutively treated with LITT at our single institution were retrospectively analyzed. During this time, a series of pre, intra, and postoperative adjustments were made to the admission course and surgical\/anesthesia workflow with the goal of improving recovery and admission length.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The mean age at surgery was 60.7 years with a median preoperative Karnofsky performance score of 90 \u00b1 13. Lesions were most commonly metastases (50%) and high-grade gliomas (37%). The mean length of stay was 2.4 days, with the average patient being discharged 1.2 days after surgery. There was an overall readmission rate of 8.7% with a LITT-specific readmission rate of 2.2%. Three of 184 patients required repeat intervention in the perioperative period, and there was one perioperative mortality.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This preliminary study shows the proposed LITT ERAS protocol to be a safe means of discharging patients on postoperative day 1 while preserving outcomes. Although future prospective work is needed to validate this protocol, results show the ERAS approach to be promising for LITT.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/nop\/npad007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,3]],"date-time":"2023-02-03T11:16:57Z","timestamp":1675423017000},"page":"281-290","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Development of an enhanced recovery after laser ablation surgery protocol: a preliminary analysis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7582-0877","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adam S","family":"Levy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine , 1095 NW 14th Terrace, Miami, Florida, 33136 , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martin A","family":"Merenzon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine , 1095 NW 14th Terrace, Miami, Florida, 33136 , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tiffany","family":"Eatz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine , 1095 NW 14th Terrace, Miami, Florida, 33136 , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexis A","family":"Morell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine , 1095 NW 14th Terrace, Miami, Florida, 33136 , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel G","family":"Eichberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine , 1095 NW 14th Terrace, Miami, Florida, 33136 , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marc J","family":"Bloom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, University of Miami Health System , Miami, Florida , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashish H","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine , 1095 NW 14th Terrace, Miami, Florida, 33136 , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ricardo J","family":"Komotar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine , 1095 NW 14th Terrace, Miami, Florida, 33136 , USA"},{"name":"Sylvester Cancer Center, University of Miami Health System , Miami, Florida , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael E","family":"Ivan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine , 1095 NW 14th Terrace, Miami, Florida, 33136 , USA"},{"name":"Sylvester Cancer Center, University of Miami Health System , Miami, Florida , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023051920054409400_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"40","DOI":"10.21037\/jovs.2018.01.20","article-title":"Enhanced recovery after surgery: a patient centered process","volume":"4","author":"Taurchini","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Vis Surg"},{"issue":"9","key":"2023051920054409400_CIT0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"863","DOI":"10.1089\/lap.2017.0317","article-title":"The development of enhanced recovery after surgery across surgical specialties","volume":"27","author":"Senturk","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Laparoendosc Adv Surg Tech A."},{"issue":"1","key":"2023051920054409400_CIT0003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"127","DOI":"10.1186\/s12883-021-02150-7","article-title":"\u201cEnhanced recovery after surgery\u2014ERAS in elective craniotomies-a non-randomized controlled trial\u201d","volume":"21","author":"Elayat","year":"2021","journal-title":"BMC Neurol"},{"issue":"1","key":"2023051920054409400_CIT0004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"110575","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jclinane.2021.110575","article-title":"Enhanced recovery after elective craniotomy: a randomized controlled trial","volume":"76","author":"Wang","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Clin Anesth."},{"issue":"4","key":"2023051920054409400_CIT0005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"411","DOI":"10.3171\/2016.9.SPINE16375","article-title":"Development of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) approach for lumbar spinal fusion.","volume":"26","author":"Wang","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
