Our patients' operations take centre stage. That's why we have a standardised programme for them with one goal: to get them home healthy again quickly after their operation. "Enhanced Recovery", accelerated recovery after surgery - a special programme for our patients' operations!
How?
- All specialisms help to ensure that our patients recover as quickly as possible after their operation
- Our patients take centre stage and are also jointly responsible for their own recovery
- With our Enhanced Recovery Programme, patients are actively involved in their recovery
- Good preparation for the operation starts at home - we give patients advice on how they can best prepare for it:
- Nutrition
- Exercise
- Wound healing
- Medication
- Information on
Experiences of our patients
- "The Enhanced Recovery Programme made me feel very comfortable before the operation. I had my tasks to carry out and information to read through. After the operation, I received excellent care from the team and was able to eat and move around without pain again early on!" Mr W., 50 years old
- "The entire programme prepared me very well for the operation. The afternoon after the operation I was already sitting on the edge of the bed and was given protein-rich food to drink. I received all-round support and was motivated to move around, so I was soon back home healthy again!" Mrs M., 62 years old
Key points
- This unique concept was introduced for all our patients who have undergone liver, pancreatic or bowel surgery at Ulm University Hospital.
- Fast-track or enhanced recovery protocols are frequently reported in Germany, but adherence is not met in all criteria.
- Our approach at Ulm University Hospital goes beyond this. Not only the protocols, but the entire process has been significantly modernised.
We support patients individually before and after the operation: digitally or analogue.
Our Enhanced Recovery Team takes on the task of supporting patients throughout the entire treatment pathway.
