About this trial

This prospective randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols in patients undergoing elective hysterectomy. ERAS is an evidence-based perioperative approach designed to reduce surgical stress, accelerate recovery, and improve clinical outcomes. Participants will be randomized to receive either ERAS-based care or conventional perioperative management. The study will assess whether ERAS implementation reduces hospital stay and improves postoperative recovery without increasing complications.
