ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: The enhanced recovery program (ERP) is a management mode whose objective is to reduce the risk of complications and allow the patient to recover more quickly all its functional capacities and to reintegrate at most quickly and safely in his usual environment. This intentionally synthetic document aims to disseminate in the urological community the main points of the ERP recommendations for cystectomy. This work, coordinated by AFU, involves several other partners. The full document is available on the "Urofrance" website. Another article will follow on organizational measures. METHOD: The development of the recommendations is based on the method "formalized consensus of experts" proposed by the HAS. The report is based on a systematic review of the literature (January 2006-May 2017), two rounds of iterative quotations and a national proofreading. Levels of proof of conclusions and gradation of recommendations are based on the HAS grid. RESULTS: The bibliographic strategy made it possible to retain 298 articles. Only the recommendations that obtained a strong agreement after the two rounds of iterative listing were retained. The recommendations presented here are in chronological form (before, during, after hospitalization). Twenty-six key points on the technical and organizational measures of ERP have been identified. CONCLUSION: The result of the literature review, supplemented by expert opinion, suggests a significant clinical interest in the application and dissemination of ERP for cystectomy, despite the limited data available for this indication.
