Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Prostate cancer ranks second among all malignances in men and has become a significant threat to men's health. Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) has become a standard treatment for prostate cancer. How to improve recovery following RARP surgery is worth investigating. The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway involves a series of evidence-based procedures. It is aimed to reduce the systemic stress response to surgery and shorten the length of hospital stay. This randomized trial aims to investigate the impact of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Pathway on early outcomes after RARP surgery.
