Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocols in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

This 60-minute webinar will focus on the role of orthognathic surgery in facial gender affirmation. Because orthognathic surgery at its core is based on gender norms, it can be considered a type of gender confirmation surgery for all patients. In transgender patients, the use of orthognathic surgery to sculpt more masculine or feminine facial features requires an understanding of specific surgical nuances and techniques. Attendees will learn about these orthognathic surgery techniques that enhance masculine and feminine facial features.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

Discuss the concept of ERAS, the goals of implementation, the history of development and the nascent nature of ERAS in oral and maxillofacial surgery specifically.
Describe the specific techniques in the preop, intraop and postop timeframes that may facilitate enhanced recovery.
Identify OMS-specific literature on the topic of ERAS.
Distinguish strategies that may be suitable for implementation inpatient surgeries.
Identify how to implement ERAS techniques for use in outpatient or minor procedures.
