In modern perioperative care, speed and quality of recovery are as crucial as the procedure itself. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols offer a structured, evidence-based approach to improving patient outcomes by reducing surgical stress and supporting faster rehabilitation. These protocols encompass multimodal strategies, including optimized anesthesia, fluid management, early nutrition, and patient engagement throughout the surgical journey. By minimizing opioid use and promoting early mobilization, ERAS reduces postoperative complications and hospital stay durations. The success of ERAS depends on multidisciplinary collaboration, aligning surgical teams, anesthesiologists, and nursing staff around unified recovery goals. As more institutions adopt and customize ERAS pathways, the shift toward patient-centered surgical recovery is becoming a defining standard in operative care worldwide.
