This study is a randomized controlled non-inferiority trial designed to evaluate the impact of implementing the 'Early Recovery After Surgery Clinical Pathway (ERAS CP)' on patient-reported pain levels at the time of discharge following Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion (OLIF) surgery
Currently, the effectiveness of the ERAS has been widely confirmed in patients undergoing colorectal resection, and it has been verified to reduce length of hospital stay and complications. However, the ERAS protocol for lumbar fusion surgery is based on a few retrospective studies and remains a consensus statement. Recent retrospective studies targeting patients undergoing lumbar fusion surgery reported that implementing ERAS could accelerate post-operative functional recovery and reduce hospital stay. However, there is still a lack of high-quality evidence based on prospective studies.
Lumbar fusion surgery is known for potentially leading to severe postoperative pain, which poses challenges in consistently applying ERAS components, such as early ambulation or active oral feeding, after surgery. In light of this, the present study aims to validate the non-inferiority of pain levels at discharge within the ERAS group and to reconfirm the effects of ERAS as observed in retrospective studies.
Patients admitted for OLIF will be consecutively screened for eligibility. A computer-generated block randomization will be executed at a 1:1 ratio. In the ERAS group, patients will receive comprehensive education about the treatment process, and a clinical pathway that includes active ambulation and pain control will be protocolized and implemented. Should non-inferiority be demonstrated in both intent-to-treat and per-protocol analyses, non-inferiority will be declared.

| about postoperative 0~1 day (ex. 4 hours after surgery, 18 hours after surgery) |
| Numeric Rating Scale for back pain and leg pain during inhospital status | Pain intensity will be recorded on a scale from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating the maximum pain imaginable. | Daily measurement through the hospitalization period for surgery(ex. at postoperative 1day, at postoperative 2day), Postoperative 1-month |
| Total analgesic consumption | Total dose analgesic used during inhospital status | Daily measurement through the hospitalization period for surgery(ex. at postoperative 1 day, at postoperative 3 day) |
| Patient satisfaction scale | We survey patients using a 4-point scale to gauge their overall satisfaction with the treatment process. On this scale, 4 represents 'very satisfied,' 3 is 'satisfied,' 2 is 'dissatisfied,' and 1 indicates 'very dissatisfied. | 1 day at discharge, Postoperative 1-month |
| Rate of complication related to surgery | We investigate complications related to the surgery. Such complications include vascular damage, ureteral injury, abdominal wall injury, herniation, sympathetic nerve chain damage, leg weakness, and surgical wound infections. | through study completion, an average of 6 month |
| Rate of medical complication | We examine postoperative internal medicine complications. These complications encompass cardiovascular issues, gastrointestinal disturbances, non-surgical site infections, renal problems, and electrolyte abnormalities. | through study completion, an average of 6 month |
