Overview

Objective: To describe the implementation process and evaluate the success of compliance with the recommended ERAS protocol in the Czech healthcare system. Methods: The study included 163 patients from March to September 2022, a total of 7 months. Patients were divided into three groups according to the type of surgery. Clinical protocol: Oncogynecology, hysterectomy and laparoscopy. The implementation was realized in three phases (preparation, implementation of the protocol itself and evaluation). Results and conclusions: The cumulative adherence rate was 90% or more in all three groups. Based on the pilot results at our department, we evaluated the ERAS concept as a well-implemented tool for gynaecological departments in the Czech healthcare system.
