What this trial studies

This single-center randomized study at a tertiary hospital in Dhaka will compare an ERAS perioperative pathway to conventional care in 160 patients undergoing surgery for cervical, uterine, or ovarian cancer. The ERAS pathway includes coordinated preoperative education and optimization, standardized intraoperative anesthesia and fluid strategies, and structured postoperative protocols to accelerate recovery. Key outcomes include length of hospital stay, postoperative complications, readmissions, same-day discharge rates, and patient satisfaction. Patients will be followed through the immediate postoperative period to capture recovery metrics and adverse events.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults aged 18–70 years with diagnosed cervical, uterine, or ovarian cancer who are admitted for surgical management and meet the study eligibility criteria.

Not a fit: Patients with severe comorbidities (such as uncontrolled diabetes, chronic respiratory or liver disease), ASA score ≥4, or severe organ dysfunction/failure are excluded and unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the ERAS program could shorten hospital stays, speed recovery, and reduce postoperative complications and readmissions for patients having gynaecologic cancer surgery.

How similar studies have performed: ERAS pathways have been implemented in colorectal and gynaecologic oncology with prior studies and guidelines reporting reduced length of stay and lower postoperative morbidity.
