Perioperative Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Clinical Pathway for Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy with Unilateral Laminotomy for Bilateral Decompression.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveUnilateral biportal endoscopy with unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression (UBE-ULBD) is a widely utilized minimally invasive surgical technique for treating lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) clinical pathway in improving perioperative and short-term clinical outcomes for patients undergoing UBE-ULBD for LSS.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted on the clinical data of patients who underwent UBE-ULBD surgery for LSS from May 2022 to April 2024. Since the implementation of the ERAS clinical pathway in our department in May 2023, all eligible patients were divided into the ERAS group (May 2023-April 2024) and the traditional group (May 2022-April 2023). The two groups were analyzed for Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores for lower extremities at preoperative, 6, 24, and 48 h postoperatively and on the day of discharge. In addition, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and walking distances were assessed preoperatively, at 3 months postoperatively, and at 6 months postoperatively. Other parameters evaluated included the time to first ambulation after surgery, total length of hospital stay (LOS), postoperative LOS, perioperative opioid consumption, postoperative rehydration volume, and the incidence of postoperative complications.
resultCompared to the traditional group, patients in the ERAS group demonstrated significantly lower pain scores at 6 and 24 h postoperatively, earlier ambulation, shorter total LOS and postoperative LOS, reduced postoperative rehydration volume, and perioperative opioid application (p < 0.05). No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of lower extremities VAS scores before surgery, at 48 h postoperatively, and on the day of discharge. No statistically significant differences were observed in ODI scores before surgery, at 3 months postoperatively, and at 6 months postoperatively, as well as walking distances (p > 0.05). Furthermore, the incidence of complications was comparable between the two groups (p > 0.05).
conclusionThe UBE-ULBD surgery under the guidance of the ERAS program, through multidisciplinary collaboration and comprehensive measures, can significantly optimize perioperative management, improve postoperative recovery quality, and achieve satisfactory perioperative and short-term clinical outcomes.
