Trends in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in thoracic surgery from a bibliometric insight

ERAS-related research in thoracic surgery has been increasing steadily, highlighting it as a rapidly evolving and promising field.

Many existing ERAS studies in thoracic surgery lack high-quality evidence, underscoring the urgent need for rigorously designed research with robust methodological standards.
