Optimizing Surgical Outcomes: The Role of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocols in Improving Recovery and Reducing Hospital Stays in Pakistan.

Background Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) procedures are increasingly recognized for their ability to improve surgical outcomes and shorten hospital stays, particularly in resource-constrained environments like Pakistan. This study underscores the transformative potential of ERAS protocols in not only enhancing patient recovery but also optimizing healthcare resource utilization in such settings. The research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ERAS protocols in reducing postoperative complications and hospital stays among surgical patients in Pakistan, with a focus on their impact on overall recovery and healthcare efficiency.
