🏥 Revolutionizing #BreastReconstruction Recovery 🌟

Our Enhanced Recovery Protocol transforms the journey to healing after breast reconstruction. Starting pre-surgery, our focus on #painmanagement sets the stage for a smoother experience.

During surgery, our "blocks" technique injects long-acting local anesthetic to ensure comfort even before waking up. For #DIEPflap reconstruction, we've seen remarkable improvements in abdominal comfort.

Post-op, a tailored blend of Celebrex, low-dose gabapentin, and extra-strength Tylenol suffices for most patients. Narcotics are reserved for breakthrough pain, as our #ERAS protocol significantly reduces their necessity.

But that's not all! Our required pre-surgery drink accelerates anesthesia processing, eases nausea, speeds up bowel function, and enhances overall healing. Say goodbye to extended hospital stays – thanks to PRMA's Enhanced Recovery Protocol, our DIEP flap patients now typically leave within just 2 days.
