Abstract
This paper aims to review the introduction of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) service within complex spinal surgery, with an aim to assess if this is a cost effective way to improve the overall experience of such complex surgery. The ERAS model was defined and followed within a regional centre for complex spinal surgery in the UK. Outcomes such as length of stay (LOS) and satisfaction were measured before and after implementation of the service. LOS was reduced and both patient and staff satisfaction improved following the implementation of the ERAS service. The ERAS model can successfully be implemented within complex spinal surgery, to help improve satisfaction and reduce cost.
