Objective. To conduct a systematic review of the literature on the use of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols in spinalsurgery of children and adolescents to determine the existing evidence of the effectiveness of ERAS implementation in clinical practice.Material and Methods. The authors conducted a systematic review of the literature on ERAS in spinal and spinal cord surgery in children and adolescents selected in the databases of medical literature and search resources of PUBMED/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library and eLibrary according to the PRISMA guidelines and the PICOS inclusion and exclusion criteria.Results. A total of 12 publications containing information on the treatment of 2,145 children, whose average age was 14.0 years (from 7.2 to 16.1), were analyzed. In the reviewed publications, the average number of key elements of the ERAS program was 9 (from 2 to 20), and a total of 23 elements used in spinal surgery in children and adolescents were identified. The most commonly used elements were preoperative education and counseling, prevention of infectious complications and intestinal obstruction, multimodal analgesia, refusal of routine use of drains, nasogastric probes and urinary catheters, standardized anesthesia protocol, early mobilization and enteral loading. The introduction of the ERAS protocol into clinical practice allowed to reduce the complication rate in comparison with the control group by 8.2 %(from 2 to 19 %), the volume of blood loss by 230 ml (from 75 to 427 ml), the operation time by 83 minutes (from 23 to 144 minutes), theduration of hospitalization by 1.5 days (from 0.5 to 3 days) and the total cost of treatment by 2258.5 dollars (from 860 to 5280 dollars).The ERAS program was implemented in pediatric clinics in the USA (75 %), France (8 %) and Canada (17 %).Conclusion. The conducted systematic review of the literature allows us to conclude that the technology of enhanced recovery after surgery is a promising technology that improves surgical outcomes and is applicable in pediatric practice. There is a significant shortage of published studies evaluating the implementation of ERAS in pediatric surgical practice in general, and in spinal surgery in particular, which requires further prospective randomized studies to evaluate ERAS in spinal surgery in children and adolescents.
