Background:
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols improve recovery after colorectal surgery but include NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors that may increase gastrointestinal bleeding risk. We evaluated the association between ERAS and postoperative bleeding in IBD patients undergoing colorectal resection.
Methods:
A prospectively maintained registry was reviewed for elective IBD-related colorectal resection with anastomosis before and after ERAS protocol implementation. Outcomes included postoperative bleeding, transfusion, intervention, length of stay, and 30-day readmission.
Results:
The cohort included 964 patients (466 ERAS, 498 non-ERAS). Bleeding without sequelae (14% vs 5%, p < 0.001) and bleeding with sequelae (5% vs 2%, p = 0.01) were more common in the ERAS group. Transfusion and intervention rates did not differ. On multivariable analysis, ERAS was independently associated with bleeding with sequelae (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.2-5.7; p = 0.02).
Conclusions:
ERAS use in IBD colorectal surgery was associated with increased postoperative bleeding. Most events were self-limited and did not require transfusion or intervention.

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
