OBJECTIVE: We report the application of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) regimens to pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP), aiming to guide the practice of ERAS in pediatric LP.

METHODS: From October 2018, we prospectively implemented a twenty-point ERAS regimen, including a modified LP procedure, for pediatric UPJO patients in a single institution. Data from 2018 to 2021 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The variables gathered included: demographics, preoperative details and recovery elements. Outcomes were postoperative length of stay (POS), readmission rate, operation time and blood loss.

RESULTS: A total of 75 pediatric patients (0-14 years) were included. The mean POS was 2.4 ± 1.4 days, shorter than that in recent studies in China (3.3 ± 1.4 days, 6 (3-16) days). None were redo, and six restenosis (8%) were improved after treatment with ureteral balloon dilatation. The mean operation time was 257.9 ± 54.4 min, and blood loss was 11.8 ± 10.0 ml. In the univariable analysis and multivariable analysis, no external drainage, sacral anesthesia, and withdrawal of the catheter on day one were independently associated with a POS of ≤ 2 d (p < 0.05).

CONCLUSION: The implementation of this ERAS protocol for pediatric LP has resulted in a shorter length of stay without a higher readmission rate. Surgery techniques, drainage management and analgesia are the key to further improvement. ERAS for pediatric pyeloplasty should be encouraged.
