Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) Protocol in Colorectal Resections: A Prospective Observational Study of Implementation and Outcomes at a Tertiary Referral Center
The implementation of the ERAS® protocol in colorectal cancer surgery is feasible in a resource-constrained setting, with acceptable compliance rates. Higher compliance was associated with shorter hospital stay and reduced overall complication rates. The protocol can be safely applied to patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgeries, potentially improving outcomes and resource utilization.
