Enhanced recovery pathway in open and minimally invasive colorectal cancer surgery: a prospective study on feasibility, compliance, and outcomes in a high-volume resource limited tertiary cancer center.

Background: Enhanced recovery program (ERP) has demonstrated improved postoperative outcomes with increased compliance to pathway. However, there is scarce data on feasibility and safety in resource limited setting. The objective was to assess compliance with ERP and its impact on postoperative outcomes and return to intended oncological treatment (RIOT).

Impact of enhanced recovery pathway in 408 gallbladder cancer resections.

Background: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the sixth most common gastrointestinal malignancy with poor prognosis. Enhanced Recovery Pathway (ERP) is associated with improved outcomes following abdominal surgical procedures. Currently, there is no study evaluating ERP in patients undergoing GBC surgery.
