Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has shown effectiveness in terms of reducing the hospital stay and cost associated with open liver resection. However, the benefit of ERAS in patients undergoing laparoscopic liver resection is still unclear, and clinical studies on this topic are limited.The ERAS program for laparoscopic liver resection was used in a group of 80 patients (ERAS group). The...

BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multimodal approach to perioperative care that combines a range of interventions to enable early mobilization and feeding after surgery. We investigated the feasibility, clinical effectiveness, and cost savings of an ERAS program at a major U. S. teaching hospital. METHODS Data were collected from consecutive patients undergoing open or l...

Benefits of ERAS protocol have been well documented; however, it is unclear whether the improvement stems from the protocol or shifts in expectations. Interdisciplinary educational seminars were conducted for all health professionals. However, one test surgeon adopted the protocol. 394 patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery from June 2013 to April 2015 with a median age of 63 years were...

Over the last 20 years, a new concept of perioperative patient care based on a construct of evidence-based interventions referred to as 'enhanced recovery after surgery' (ERAS) has been developed. The main pillars of ERAS programs include optimal postoperative pain management and early enteral feeding and mobilization after surgery. Several studies, mostly based on experiences with patients und...

ERAS approach (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) is a multimodal, perioperative pathway designed to achieve early recovery after surgery. ERAS has shown documented efficacy in elective surgery, and the concept of "multimodal" and "multidisciplinary" approach seems still to be of higher importance than each single item within ERAS protocols. New perspectives include the use of ERAS in emergency s...

BACKGROUND There is strong evidence for the use of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol with colorectal surgery. However, in most studies on ERAS, patients with stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC) are commonly excluded. It is not certain if the ERAS protocol combined with laparoscopy improves outcomes in this group of patients as well. The aim of the study is to assess the feasibility o...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programme is a multimodal evidence-based approach to surgical care which begins in the preoperative setting and extends through to patient discharge in the postoperative period. The primary components of ERAS include the introduction of preoperative patient education; reduction in perioperative use of nasogastric tubes and drai...

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs have been shown to decrease postoperative complications and hospital stay in pancreaticoduodenectomy. However, no studies concerned recovery after discharge except readmission. This study evaluated an ERAS program for pancreaticoduodenectomy from hospital to home.A prospective ERAS cohort undergoing elective pancreaticoduodenectomy was compared wi...

Results Mean post-operative length of stay was significantly reduced in the ERAS group, 4.05 (SD 1.43) days compared to 5.4 (SD 1.17) days in the non-ERAS group (p = 0.003). There were no hospital or Intensive Care Unit (ICU) readmissions in either group. Mean ICU length of stay was 1 night in both groups. There was no mortality in either group. The rate of re-operation for bleeding was slightl...
