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 Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive 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."
