Short-term outcomes of an enhanced recovery after surgery pathway for children with congenital scoliosis undergoing posterior spinal fusion: a case-control study of 70 patients.
Journal of Pediatric Orthopedics. Part B 2023 June 21
Increasing evidence demonstrates the advantages of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol; however, few studies have evaluated ERAS in pediatric patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ERAS in pediatric patients with congenital scoliosis. Seventy pediatric patients with congenital scoliosis underwent posterior hemivertebra resection and fusion with pedicle screws and were prospectively randomly assigned to the ERAS group (n = 35) and control group (n = 35). ERAS management comprised 15 elements including a shortened fasting time, optimized anesthesia protocol, and multimodal analgesia. The control group received traditional perioperative management. Clinical outcome was evaluated by hospital stay, surgery-related indicators, diet, pain scores, laboratory tests, and complications. The surgical outcome showed a similar correction rate in the ERAS group (84.0%) and control group (89.0%; P = 0.471). The mean fasting time was significantly shorter in the ERAS group than in the control group. Compared with the control group, the ERAS group had significantly shorter mean times to postoperative hospital stay, first anal exhaust and defecation, significantly lower mean pain scores in the first 2 days postoperatively (P < 0.05), and a significantly lower mean interleukin-6 concentration on postoperative day 1 (P < 0.001). The incidence of complications was similar in the ERAS group and control group (P > 0.05). The ERAS protocol is effective and safe for pediatric patients with congenital spinal deformity and may significantly improve the treatment efficacy compared with traditional perioperative management methods. Levels of Evidence: III.
