ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery)

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a patient-centered program designed to improve surgical outcomes. It involves a set of evidence-based practices that optimize preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care. By carefully planning and coordinating activities—such as pain management, nutrition, and mobilization—ERAS aims to reduce complications, shorten hospital stays, and help patients recover more quickly and comfortably. The approach encourages active patient participation, minimizes unnecessary medications, and promotes early movement and nutrition, all contributing to safer, more efficient recovery processes.
