Effect of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery in Reducing the Incidence of Postoperative Urinary Retention After Surgery for Benign Anorectal Conditions: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery in Reducing the Incidence of Postoperative Urinary Retention After Surgery for Benign Anorectal Conditions: a Randomized Controlled Trial
This study aims to assess the role of Enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS) protocol in reducing postoperative urine retention (POUR) after surgery for benign anorectal conditions.
This study aims to assess the role of Enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS) protocol in reducing postoperative urine retention (POUR) after surgery for benign anorectal conditions.
Patients of both sexes aged between 18 and 90 years old presented; with benign anorectal conditions including chronic anal fissure, hemorrhoids, and fistula-in-ano will be eligible for the study.
Eligible patients will be randomized in equal proportions to RRAS or ROUTINE pathways. The ERAS pathway was developed based on the available guidelines and protocols it includes 14 items.
Patients allocated to ERAS pathway must fulfill all the 14 items. The ROUTINE pathway will represent the routine practice which may include certain ERAS items or those who will not fulfill the 14 items.
For the end points of the study, all patients will be followed-up by a phone call 72 hours postoperatively then in the outpatients' department for a period of a total of 30 days postoperatively. However, patients will be advised to visit the outpatients' department at any other time during the trial if they developed any unfavorable event.
The primary outcome will be the 72-hours postoperative urinary retention after anorectal surgery.
