ABSTRACT = {<b>Introduction:</b> The principles of enhanced recovery 
after surgery (ERAS) protocols have been developed to 
optimize care and facilitate recovery after major surgery. 
The purpose of this systematic review is to present an upto-date assessment of the perioperative cares in complex 
urological surgery from the available evidence and ERAS 
group recommendations.<br/>
<b>Materials and methods:</b> Systematic searches of PubMed, 
Embase, Cochrane library and conference abstracts and 
bibliographies databases. <br/>
<b>Results:</b> A total of six studies were identified that 
met the inclusion criteria. Two examined the role of 
ERAS in radical cystectomy, and the rest examined 
its role in renal surgery (open, laparoscopic or partial 
nephrectomy). These studies demonstrated a reduction 
in duration of inpatient stays with no increase in 
morbidity in ERAS groups compared with traditional 
care.<br/>
<b>Conclusions:</b> ERAS protocols can reduce the length 
of hospital stay after major urological surgery, without 
increasing morbidity or mortality.},
