Abstract
Background: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols have emerged as a multidisciplinary strategy aimed at optimizing patient outcomes and accelerating recovery across various surgical specialties. These evidence-based pathways encompass preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases, incorporating tailored interventions to minimize surgical stress, enhance pain management, promote early mobilization, and prevent complications. Objective: This descriptive review aims to provide an overview of ERAS principles and their application within distinct surgical domains, highlighting key components such as patient education, nutritional optimization, pain management, early mobilization, and strategies to mitigate postoperative complications. Conclusions: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols offer a comprehensive framework for optimizing surgical outcomes and expediting patient recovery across diverse surgical specialties. By tailoring interventions to specific procedural demands, ERAS emphasizes early mobilization, effective pain management, and timely intervention to prevent complications. Through a multifaceted approach, ERAS continues to revolutionize surgical care, enhancing patient well-being and advancing the paradigm of perioperative management.
