The ERAS® Society Handbook for Obstetrics & Gynecology cover

The ERAS® Society Handbook for Obstetrics & Gynecology covers all aspects of enhanced recovery care for disciplines of general gynecology, gynecologic oncology, urogynecology and obstetrical surgery. Written by renowned experts in the field, chapters discuss foundational knowledge on ERAS and provide specific worked examples, ERAS order sets, and practical implementation tools. This book is an indispensable resource to researchers interested in ERAS, but it is also ideal for anesthesiologists, gynecologists and obstetricians interested in initiating an ERAS program. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a global surgical quality improvement initiative that originated in colorectal surgery and has now spread to numerous other disciplines, including gynecology (benign and malignant) and obstetrics (caesarean delivery). ERAS is associated with improvements in clinical outcomes (reduction in length of hospital stay, complications, readmissions), cost savings for the healthcare system, and patient satisfaction, hence the addition of this comprehensive resource on the topics is a welcomed addition to the available literature.

*4 stars* "This book provides a comprehensive overview of enhanced surgical recovery after surgery (ERAS) and best practices in obstetric and gynecologic surgery…. The purpose is to provide a complete and concise resource for ERAS in obstetric and gynecologic surgical care. It guides the readers through the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases of ERAS care.... These are worthwhile objectives in the current clinical climate as ERAS has become the standard of surgical care. This book clearly meets these objectives providing a singular valuable resource for ERAS in obstetrics and gynecology. This book is suitable for OB-GYN residents, fellows, and medical students and for practicing OB-GYN specialists and subspecialists who provide surgical care. The writing is clear and concise. The book is referenced appropriately…. The authors’ provision of a clearly marked summary at the end of each chapter enables the readers to quickly distill the essentials of ERAS. The tables and figures are easy to identify and illuminate the written text. This book is a comprehensive reference for the application of ERAS in obstetrics and gynecology. Its content is timely as ERAS has become the standard of surgical care and is becoming more widely adopted by the year. I welcome this edition to my library.
