ERAS is short for Enhanced Recovery After Surgery. It is an evidence-based program incorporating multimodal interventions in the peri-operative period to reduce postoperative morbidity and expedite recovery. Benefit: Numerous research reports have shown that following the ERAS programme as opposed to a conventional care will have positive effects on recovery. In many operations, recovery time can be shortened by 30% or more and complication rates become lower after surgery. This could mean a shorter stay in hospital and reduced rate of readmission.
