ERAS pathways lead to better outcomes in pancreatic surgery

Implementing Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways significantly improves patient outcomes following pancreatic surgeries. A study of 220 patients revealed that those in the ERAS group experienced markedly reduced postoperative opioid use (58 vs. 148 mg) and lower pain scores (6 vs. 8). Moreover, the ERAS cohort demonstrated a lower overall complication rate, particularly in both robotic and open pancreaticoduodenectomy subgroups. These findings support the safety and effectiveness of ERAS protocols in reducing recovery times.
