NCT ID NCT07650461
First seen Jun 22, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a structured recovery plan (ERAS) could reduce infections and speed up recovery compared to standard care in 102 adults who had emergency abdominal surgery for a blocked or perforated bowel. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either the ERAS protocol or usual postoperative care. The researchers tracked surgical site infections, hospital stay length, and how quickly bowel function returned.
