ENHANCED RECOVERY AFTER SURGERY (ERAS®) PROTOCOLS
Refining orthopedic care with ERAS® — a multimodal perioperative care pathway designed to enable rapid recovery for patients undergoing surgery.
At the Hanche Genou Clinic, what sets us apart is our comprehensive approach to patient care. We combine an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) protocol with minimally invasive surgical techniques, enabling faster recovery and the ability to walk as early as the day after surgery.
Our goal is to provide patients with the support they need, improve outcomes, minimize complications, and deliver a superior overall experience.

WHAT IS AN ENHANCED RECOVERY AFTER SURGERY (ERAS®) PROTOCOL?
ERAS is a transformative approach to orthopedic surgical care. The protocol meticulously standardizes preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative procedures to accelerate recovery. By integrating global best practices and the latest evidence, ERAS improves multiple aspects of patient care, including nutrition, postoperative mobility, fluid management, and pain control.
KEY ELEMENTS OF ERAS® PROTOCOLS
Preoperative counseling:
This aspect of ERAS focuses on preparing patients for surgery through education and psychological support. It involves setting expectations, reducing anxiety, and ensuring that patients are fully informed about the procedure, its benefits, and potential risks.
Nutritional optimization:
Before surgery, patients are assessed and provided with nutritional plans to enhance their overall health and immune function. This step ensures that patients enter surgery in optimal condition, which can support a faster and more robust recovery.
Pain reduction:
Pain management is essential to recovery. ERAS includes tailored pain control plans that use a combination of medications to effectively manage pain while minimizing side effects, contributing to a smoother and more comfortable recovery.
Early mobilization:
Encouraging patients to move shortly after surgery is a key element of ERAS. This practice reduces the risk of complications such as blood clots and respiratory issues and plays a vital role in promoting faster functional recovery.
