Short Term Outcome Following Post Operative Enhanced Recovery Implementation in Patients With Perforated Peptic Ulcer

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of implementing post operative enhanced recovery on perforated peptic ulcer surgery outcome.

The current study anticipated better outcomes in the form of early functional recovery, reduced length of hospital stays, less thirty days post operative morbidity, and better gastrointestinal quality of life after implementing post operative enhanced recovery in patients with perforated peptic ulcer.
