This study evaluates the effect of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol on early postoperative recovery in women undergoing elective cesarean section. Eighty-four pregnant women, aged 18 years or older, at 37 weeks of gestation or beyond, without chronic medical conditions, and classified as ASA I-II, were enrolled. Participants were randomly assigned to either: ERAS group - received the ERAS protocol, including early oral intake, early mobilization, multimodal analgesia, and enhanced perioperative care Control group - received standard perioperative cesarean section care The study compared breastfeeding initiation time, gas passage, oral intake, mobilization time, and postoperative pain scores (VAS) between the two groups. The aim is to determine whether ERAS can accelerate recovery, reduce pain, and improve maternal comfort after elective cesarean delivery.
