THE ROLE OF ENHANCED RECOVERY AFTER SURGERY (ERAS) PROTOCOLS IN MODERN SURGICAL PRACTICE: ADVANTAGES AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES

Abstract

Abstract
This article reviews the implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols in contemporary surgical practice. ERAS programs are evidence-based perioperative care pathways designed to optimize recovery, minimize surgical stress, and improve patient outcomes. The study analyzes key ERAS components, including multimodal analgesia, early mobilization, and nutritional support, as well as their clinical effectiveness compared to conventional perioperative care.
