Despite advancements in surgical and anesthetic care, the implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols in colorectal surgery still provides benefits. This single-center study compared patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery under an ERAS program to those receiving standard care and found that ERAS led to a reduction in non-surgical complications, shorter length of stay, and lower costs. These findings highlight the continued importance of implementing ERAS protocols in specialized colorectal centers.
