Methods: A systematic review of the PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases was performed in October 2012.
Article Synopsis
- The article reviews enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs specifically for a type of surgery called esophagectomy.
- ERAS helps patients recover faster and have fewer problems after surgery, but there hasn’t been much research on it for esophagectomy.
- The authors found some positive results from past studies, but overall evidence is weak, and they suggest more guidelines and research are needed for better practices.
