Our Enhanced Recovery After Surgery program
The goal of our Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program is to reduce the amount of pain our patients feel after surgery, and to promote a fast, healthy recovery. Our doctors will create an individualized nutrition plan for you to ensure you can return to your normal activities after your procedure.
There are many benefits to our ERAS program, including:
- A customized blend of non-opioid medications and temporary nerve blocks, which decrease your chances of developing pneumonia or blood clots
- Help managing your blood pressure and blood sugar levels
- Minimally invasive surgical techniques, which are proven to result in faster recoveries, reduced muscle stiffness, and less overall pain
- Movement soon after surgery, which optimizes your physical condition and decreases your chances of developing post-operative complications
- Shortened pre-surgery fasting period and increased amount of carbohydrates, which improves functionality of the new joint and reduces stress on your body
The post-surgical specialists at Hillcrest South will collaborate with you to maximize the benefits of our recovery program. If you plan to have surgery, make sure to ask your doctor about our ERAS program.
