Randomization
The trial was designed by means of
a stratified block randomization (1:1) that was balanced regarding the
surgical options: laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy, laparoscopic
myomectomy, and total laparoscopic hysterectomy. We performed the
randomization using a computer-generated random sequence concealed in
opaque envelopes to minimize selection bias. Patients were allocated to
receive either full ERAS perioperative intervention or limited ERAS
management.
