Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) Program

The Northwestern Medicine Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to improving the care of women with pelvic floor disorders.

The fellowship-trained and board-certified surgeons of Northwestern Medicine’s Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery division are dedicated to minimizing the negative outcomes of surgery, shortening recovery time, and helping you get back to your life.

The ERAS program:

• Limits opioids in the operating room and minimizes the need for opioids after surgery by using alternate approaches to keep you comfortable
• Allows you to wake up feeling less groggy and ready to go home the same day
• Increases energy and lessens pain after surgery
• Improves your nutrition prior to surgery
• Allows you to wake up from anesthesia with less post-operative nausea and vomiting 

“Having the surgery by the urogynecology team at Northwestern Medicine gave me back my life. In fact, gave me a better life."
