Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)

Recover from surgery quicker and with fewer medications

The goal of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program is to reduce the amount of pain you experience and promote rapid healing after surgery. Through an individualized nutrition plan and advanced surgical and anesthetic techniques, you can return to your normal activities after surgery sooner.

There are many benefits to ERAS including:

Customized blend of non-opioid medications and temporary nerve blocks, reducing pain
Managing blood pressure and blood sugar levels, optimizing physical condition and decreasing chances for post-operative complications
Minimally-invasive surgical approach, improving surgical efficiency and reducing stress on the body
Movement soon after surgery, reducing muscle stiffness, improving functionality of the new joint, decreasing chances for pneumonia or blood clots and allowing you to go home sooner
Shortened pre-surgery fasting period and increased amount of carbohydrates, providing more energy to allow for quicker healing

Your Hillcrest care team will collaborate with you to maximize the benefits of ERAS before, during and after your procedure. If you plan to have surgery, ask your doctor about ERAS. To find a physician that uses the ERAS technique, call 918-579-DOCS (3627).
