An Enhanced Recovery Program for Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Surgical Oncology Patients Improves Outcomes After Surgery

In brief

This study evaluates the impact of implementing an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol on postoperative outcomes in pediatric and adolescent/young adult oncology patients undergoing major surgical procedures. The multidisciplinary approach aims to minimize physiologic stress and accelerate recovery in this specialized patient population.

• ERAS protocols use multidisciplinary teams to reduce perioperative stress and accelerate recovery in surgical oncology patients
• Enhanced recovery programs can be successfully adapted for pediatric, adolescent, and young adult oncology populations
• Standardized perioperative pathways improve postoperative outcomes in major oncologic operations across age groups
• Multidisciplinary coordination is essential for implementing effective enhanced recovery protocols in pediatric surgical oncology
