Placenta previa might induce critical hemorrhage during caesarean section. ⋯ There was no perioperative complication in these patients. Common iliac artery balloon occlusion could reduce blood loss during caesarean section in patients with placenta previa.

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols aim to improve patient care, reducing complication rates, and shortening hospital stay following colorectal surgery in Europe. In cooperation of colorectal surgeons and anesthesiologists, ERAS protocols were initially introduced in our hospital to the patients who underwent open colorectal resection in July 2010. ⋯ Introduction of ERAS as collaboration of surgeons and anesthesiologists resulted in facilitating communication of surgeons and anesthesiologists.
