Résumé

Pediatric spinal fusion surgery is a complex procedure that poses challenges in perioperative management. The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) approach is an evidence-based, multidisciplinary strategy to optimize patient care in an individualized, multidisciplinary way. Despite the benefits of ERAS protocol implementation, the role of ERAS in pediatric spine surgery remains understudied. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the current literature regarding pediatric spinal surgery ERAS protocols and their ability to decrease the LOS, pain, time-to-stand, and complications. A systematic review was conducted using PRISMA guidelines. Statistical analyses were performed using Cochrane's RevMan (version 5.4). 17 studies totaling 2,733 patients were included in this analysis. Patients treated in an ERAS protocol had significant reductions in LOS (p < 0.001), time-to-stand (p < 0.001), total complications (p = 0.02), and estimated blood loss (p = 0.001). ERAS protocol implementation can significantly enhance outcomes for pediatric patients receiving spinal surgery. Consequently, ERAS protocols have the potential to lower healthcare expenses, increase access, and set a new standard of care. Future research should be conducted to expand pediatric ERAS protocols to a diverse range of spinal pathologies and assess the long-term advantages of this practice.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Pediatric spinal fusion surgery is a complex procedure that poses challenges in perioperative management. The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) approach is an evidence-based, multidisciplinary strategy to optimize patient care in an individualized, multidisciplinary way. Despite the benefits of ERAS protocol implementation, the role of ERAS in pediatric spine surgery remains understudied.
AIM OBJECTIVE
This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the current literature regarding pediatric spinal surgery ERAS protocols and their ability to decrease the LOS, pain, time-to-stand, and complications.
METHODS METHODS
A systematic review was conducted using PRISMA guidelines. Statistical analyses were performed using Cochrane's RevMan (version 5.4).
RESULTS RESULTS
17 studies totaling 2,733 patients were included in this analysis. Patients treated in an ERAS protocol had significant reductions in LOS (p < 0.001), time-to-stand (p < 0.001), total complications (p = 0.02), and estimated blood loss (p = 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
ERAS protocol implementation can significantly enhance outcomes for pediatric patients receiving spinal surgery. Consequently, ERAS protocols have the potential to lower healthcare expenses, increase access, and set a new standard of care. Future research should be conducted to expand pediatric ERAS protocols to a diverse range of spinal pathologies and assess the long-term advantages of this practice.
