Effect of Implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery on 3-year Survival After Colorectal Surgery for Cancer

Effect of Implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocol on 3-year Survival After Colorectal Surgery for Cancer - a Retrospective Cohort of 1001 Patients

Several recent studies have shown that the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol reduces morbidity and mortality and shortens the length of stay compared to conventional recovery strategy (pre-ERAS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the implementation of this protocol on 3-year overall survival and postoperative outcome in patients undergoing colorectal resection for cancer.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Aadult patients, who had undergone resection for colorectal cancer or a precancerous lesion and were cared for using the ERAS protocol or received conventional care (pre-ERAS).
• Informed patients
