Enhanced recovery revisited: what day case hysterectomies can learn from Team GB elite athletes.

The article discusses the potential benefits of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways for day case hysterectomies, drawing parallels with the principles of marginal gains used by elite athletes. It highlights the importance of preoperative patient education, minimal access approaches, and early mobilization for improved outcomes. The authors emphasize the need for multidisciplinary collaboration, patient selection, and ERAS principles to facilitate rapid recovery and discharge. The text also addresses challenges in implementing day case hysterectomies and suggests strategies for successful adoption of ERAS programs. [Extracted from the article]
