Enhanced postoperative recovery: good from afar, but far from good?
Why the study?
Despite positive results from ERAS programmes, challenges remain regarding implementation, post-discharge recovery, study design, and controlling peri-operative pathophysiological responses.

Implication
ERAS may safely shorten stays and cut complications without raising readmissions; leaves open optimisation of peri-operative responses and post-discharge recovery.

Intervention
Enhanced postoperative recovery programmes (ERAS)
While ERAS programmes have successfully reduced hospitalization and complications, future efforts must address peri-operative pathophysiological responses and post-discharge recovery barriers.
