Objective  To observe the effect of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) based on evidence medicine in nursing of laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy.

  Methods  A total of 86 patients who underwent laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy were selected as study objects, and they were divided into control group (44 cases with odd number) and ERAS group (42 cases with even number) according to the odd-even number of admission. The control group was treated with routine perioperative nursing, and the ERAS group was treated with ERAS nursing intervention. The extraction time of urinary catheter, the first time of getting out of bed, the recovery time of gastrointestinal function, the length of hospital stay and the incidence of postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.

  Results  The catheter extraction time, gastrointestinal function recovery time and first getting out of bed activity time in the ERAS group were earlier than those in control group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the length of stay and the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups (P>0.05).

  Conclusion  ERAS nursing intervention in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic ovarian cyst surgery during perioperative period is safe and effective, and it can effectively promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function and accelerate postoperative recovery.
