Abstract
Cesarean section is the most common major obstetric surgery in the world. Although a safe application today, it can cause some complications. Accelerated recovery protocols (ERAS) have been developed to minimize postoperative complications and provide early recovery in patients. Cesarean is the first and only surgical intervention in obstetrics and perinatology using the ERAS protocol. Many studies about the ERAS protocol in cesarean determined that it reduced the duration of hospital stay by 2-3 days and the morbidity and complication rate by 30-50%. Evidence-based studies for preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care are included in the guidelines created by the ERAS association specific to the cesarean. This review aims to share evidence-based care and results within the scope of ERAS for cesarean operations and to provide a guide for cesarean care in this context.
