Gender-ERAS Protocol™ (This page is not yet confirmed!!)
We have introduced the ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocol. From preoperative nutrition and exercise management, intraoperative pain control, to early postoperative mobilization and complication prevention, we establish a standardized care pathway to help patients shorten recovery time and improve safety.
What is ERAS?
ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) is an integrated surgical care model that reduces surgical stress response, lowers complications, and shortens recovery time through standardized protocols and multidisciplinary teamwork.
How do we implement ERAS in gender-affirming surgery?
1
Preoperative Optimization
- BMI Management
- Smoking Cessation Plan
- Exercise and Strength Training
- Nutritional Assessment
- Psychological Preparation and Expectation Management
2
Intraoperative Strategies
- Precise Anesthesia Control
- Multimodal Analgesia
(Reducing opioid use) - Bleeding Control
- Temperature Management
- Reducing Surgical Time
3
Postoperative Management
- Early Mobilization
- Early Oral Intake
- High Fluid Intake
- Standardized Wound Care
- Prevention of Thrombosis and Infection
Benefits of ERAS for Patients
Lower Risk of Complications
Reduced Pain and Nausea
Shorter Hospital Stay
More Stable Postoperative Recovery
