ERAS guidelines comprise multidisciplinary, evidence-based recommendations in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative period; these interventions broadly encompass patient education, anesthetic choice, multimodal pain control, avoidance of unnecessary drains, maintenance of nutrition, and prevention of emesis. Implementation of ERAS has been shown to be associated with improved clinical outcomes (length of hospital stay, complications, readmissions) and cost. Marx and colleagues first demonstrated the feasibility of ERAS in gynecologic oncology in 2003; since then, over 30 comparative studies and 4 guidelines have been published encompassing major gynecologic surgery, cytoreductive surgery, and vulvar\/vaginal surgery. Implementation of ERAS in gynecologic oncology has been demonstrated to provide improvements in length of stay, complications, cost, opioid use, and patient satisfaction. Increased compliance with ERAS guidelines has been associated with greater improvement in outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/curroncol29020056","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,29]],"date-time":"2022-01-29T01:41:59Z","timestamp":1643420519000},"page":"631-640","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Outcomes of Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) in Gynecologic Oncology: A Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0656-7545","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Steven P.","family":"Bisch","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gynecologic Oncology, Tom Baker Cancer Centre, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB T2N 4N2, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gregg","family":"Nelson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gynecologic Oncology, Tom Baker Cancer Centre, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB T2N 4N2, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1742","DOI":"10.1016\/0003-4975(94)91674-8","article-title":"Fast-track recovery of the coronary bypass patient","volume":"58","author":"Engelman","year":"1994","journal-title":"Ann.
