Implementation and outcomes of an enhanced recovery after surgery pathway for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in East and Central Africa: A prospective non‐randomized controlled trial in Rwanda's Tertiary Teaching Hospital
The implementation of ERAS for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a limited-resource setting is feasible and safe, suggesting the possibility of its potential adoption in other abdominal procedures. A high level of adherence to the ERAS pathway can be achieved with effective patient education and the dedication of healthcare providers.
