Article Synopsis
- Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs improve patient care and outcomes but are not widely studied in resource-limited settings.
- A study at a university hospital in Rwanda evaluated the impact of ERAS on 100 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, demonstrating its feasibility and safety.
- Results showed significant reductions in hospital stays and costs without increasing complications, indicating strong compliance with ERAS principles among patients and healthcare providers.
Background: Laparoscopic surgery is the gold standard for many abdominal surgeries.

The authors assessed patient-reported outcomes and the experience of patients operated on at the University Teaching Hospital of Kigali (CHUK).
