Enhanced recovery is a modern evidence-based approach that helps people recover more quickly after having major surgery.  Research has shown that the earlier a person gets out of bed and starts walking, eating and drinking after having an operation, the shorter their recovery time will be.

​

The surgery itself is no different but the way in which your pain is managed pre-operatively and post-operatively has been improved.

This has resulted in patients mobilising more quickly with less pain, and they are often home after just a few days.

Surgical drains are avoided, as is the use of urinary catheters, but each patient is an individual who needs will be carefully assessed.
