Joint Replacement Surgery with ERAS at Pacific Private Hospital
At Pacific Private Hospital, we understand that joint pain can limit your ability to enjoy life to the fullest. That’s why our dedicated orthopaedic team is here to support you every step of the way with our advanced Joint Replacement Surgery program, guided by the proven Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) approach.
What is the ERAS Program?
The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program is an innovative, evidence-based care pathway designed to support patients having a safer and smoother recovery after surgery. It focuses on reducing surgical stress, managing pain effectively, and encouraging early movement and mobility.
By following ERAS principles, our team helps you experience fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, and a smoother recovery — so you can get back to your daily life sooner and healthier.
