Nörocerrahi ve Eras (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery)

Abstract

ERAS protocols provide improved patient outcomes, reduced complication rates, shorter hospital stays, and significant cost-savings. ERAS protocols were first studied in major abdominal surgeries; nowadays, this protocols also applied to patients undergoing neurosurgery. This is a protocol, which covered preoperative evaluation of the patients, concerning perioperative management and postoperative period. Both surgical preparation, patient information and anesthesia management are part of ERAS protocol. Optimization of elective spinal or cranial surgery patients and use of the ERAS protocols will help to minimize post-operative morbidity and mortality. This review discusses the role of ERAS protocols in both spinal surgery and craniotomy operations.
