The Contribution of Accelerated Recovery (mERAS) Approach to Postoperative Recovery in Pediatric Laparoscopic Surgery Cases
Sponsor: Emel Yürük
Summary
Pediatric laparoscopic surgery is a gold standard across all ages, offering benefits like smaller incisions, faster recovery, and better cosmetic outcomes. However, because children require more precise hemodynamic and respiratory management than adults, specialized perioperative care is essential. This study aims to evaluate the impact of a multidisciplinary Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) approach on children aged 4-12, specifically measuring its effect on postoperative pain, nausea, thirst, fear levels, and the overall recovery process.

mERAS Protocol
mERAS Protocol Patient Group 1. Preoperative Period: Preparation and Education Within the scope of the mERAS protocol, both the child and their family are evaluated with a holistic approach in the preoperative period and prepared for the surgical process; this process is structured in accordance with the current ERAS guidelines for pediatric applications. Education and Counseling The child and their family will receive detailed information covering the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative processes. The child will be educated on preparing for the surgical experience using age-appropriate audiovisual materials; the family will be informed about the basic components of the recovery process, expected outcomes, and the contributions of the ERAS protocol. In addition, regular internal training for the surgeon, nurses, and anesthesia team will be provided to increase the applicability of the protocol and team cohesion.
