Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocol for Abdominal Wall Reconstruction. A Scoping Review of Items Included in Current Protocols

Key Points

The review aims to assess the items included in current ERAS protocols for abdominal wall reconstruction and identify gaps in the literature.
Conducted a scoping review of existing ERAS protocols related to abdominal wall reconstruction.
Analyzed the heterogeneity and quality of items categorized within these protocols.
Emphasized the retrospective nature of the included studies.
Identified significant variability in protocol items and categories across different publications.
Lack of strong, item-specific recommendations due to limited evidence quality.
Calls for future large-scale studies or registry data to clarify optimal protocol components.

Abstract

This scoping review provides a valuable snapshot of current items in ERAS protocols in AWR. Importantly, given the predominantly retrospective design and heterogeneity in protocol items/categories and the limited quality of evidence, no strong item-specific recommendations can currently be formulated. This calls for further research, particularly large-scale, randomized trials or registry data, to better define the optimal categories (and their items) of ERAS protocols for this patient population.
