ERAS programs in the USA have expanded beyond colorectal surgery into multiple other specialties, particularly in larger teaching institutions.

ERAS has expanded to a large extent outside of the colorectal surgery service line with increases notable in orthopedic surgery, obstetric/gynecology, surgical oncology, and urology procedures. Institutions with a higher number of ORs and the presence of an anesthesia and/or surgery residency program are associated with an increased number of ERAS programs.
