Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a series of evidence-based perioperative care protocols designed to improve outcomes following surgery. The concept was founded on the principle of producing a predictable quality outcome by reducing morbidity and shortening hospital stay. The key objective of ERAS is to incorporate optimized multimodal perioperative care in a variety of different surgical specialties to reduce injury and stress during the perioperative period and promote a return to normal function rapidly.
