Summary

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Program (EP) is widely applied to obtain a reduction in post-operative length of hospital stay and a faster restoration of pre-operative patient conditions. However, in Western countries, adherence to EP in liver surgery is still difficult to achieve due to deep-rooted traditional practices. In our Institute, since 2019, EP has been applied pursuing 18/23 items identified by 2016 guidelines. At all consecutive patients who underwent elective liver surgery in our Institution, EP was proposed and their adherence to ERAS items was measured before, during and after surgery. Data were retrospectively collected and analysed, particularly focusing on EP items. Primary outcome was compliance to EP, defined as at least 80% of accomplished items per patient. Secondary outcome was adherence to each ERAS item, while tertiary outcome was detecting the variables associated with program drop out.
