Surgical interventions, such as restoring the health of patients and eliminating their existing symptoms, the surgical process can have many negative effects on the patient. In order to minimize these complications, the Accelerated Recovery Protocol After Surgery (ERAS) has also found widespread use in obstetric surgery. The ERAS protocol consists of different evidence-based practices at each stage, before, during, and after surgery. Stool and gas extraction, especially colorectal reported that chewing gum has a positive impact on the time/ can be used after pelvic surgical procedures, perioperative care guide contains reported in ERAS protocols, evidence-based, inexpensive, easily applied, and easily tolerated a practice that is emphasized.
