Key points |
Traditional unstructured perioperative care is still common |
The ERAS protocol is an evidence-based structured perioperative regime |
The ERAS program improves postoperative recovery and reduces morbidity |
More research is needed on cost-effectiveness, long-term outcomes, |
quality of life, and patient-related outcomes |
Regional and national strategies to support the implementation of evidence-based perioperative care in general health care are warranted |
