The impact of compliance with an enhanced recovery after surgery protocol on short-term outcomes in patients undergoing hepatectomy

High overall compliance with a multimodal ERAS protocol is independently associated with reduced postoperative morbidity and shorter hospital stay following hepatectomy. These findings underscore the importance of strict adherence to ERAS elements throughout the perioperative journey. Efforts should be directed towards optimizing compliance through multidisciplinary teamwork and patient engagement to maximize the benefits of ERAS pathways in liver surgery.
