Most of the evidence for enhanced recovery programs (ERPs) in colorectal surgery relies on nonrandomized studies with control groups either historical or operated on at different facilities. The aim of this study was to investigate ERP in coeval groups admitted in different wards at the same hospital. A prospective cohort of consecutive patients ( = 100) undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal resection completing a standardized ERP (ERP group) was compared with patients ( = 100) operated with traditional perioperative care in the same period at the same institution (non-ERP group).

- The enhanced recovery program for surgical patients leads to faster recovery and reduced hospital stays, making it a beneficial approach for colorectal surgeries.
- A study comparing 100 patients in the program to 100 from before its implementation showed significant differences in recovery time and reduced nursing workload, with no added complications.
- Overall, the program resulted in lower costs per patient while maintaining high levels of protocol adherence and patient satisfaction.
Objective: Enhanced Recovery Programs (ERPs) have been introduced to accelerate postoperative recovery and are mainly focused on decreasing the surgical stress response. Limited data are available regarding the implementation of ERPs in patients who undergo abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair using the retroperitoneal approach. The aims of this study were: (1) to evaluate the implementation of an ERP in patients who underwent elective retroperitoneal AAA repair; and (2) to define independent predictors of prolonged hospital length of stay (LOS) in these patients.
