Penn's 'enhanced recovery' protocol reduces opioid use in spinal surgery patients

(University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine) A novel 'Enhanced Recovery After Surgery' (ERAS) protocol developed by Penn Medicine for patients undergoing spinal and peripheral nerve surgery significantly reduced opioid use. The new study published in the Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine showed that when an ERAS protocol was employed, fewer patients needed pain medications one month after surgery.
