Background: Enhanced recovery after surgery protocol is applied to the conventional perioperative techniques to improving surgical outcomes. Aim of Study: Was to assess the effect of enhanced recovery after surgery protocol on hospital stay and satisfaction of women undergoing abdominal hysterectomy. Design: A quasi experimental design was adopted in this study. Setting: The study was conducted at Obstetric and Gynecological department in Benha University Hospital. Sample: A purposive sample of 148 women undergoing abdominal hysterectomy divided into two groups. Tools of data collection: Data were collected by using three tools included: a structured interviewing questionnaire, follow up after surgery sheet and the women satisfaction with nursing care quality questionnaire. Results: Majority (81.1%) of the study group spent only 2 days after surgery while half (50.0%) of the control group spent from 3-4 days after surgery. 91.9% of the study group was satisfied with care provided compared to 48.6% of the control group. Conclusion: Women undergoing abdominal hysterectomy who received enhanced recovery after surgery protocol had shorter period of hospital stay and better women's satisfaction than women who received routine perioperative care.
