Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) significantly benefits patients with peptic perforation, reducing hospital stays and accelerating recovery.

• Median hospital stay was 3 days in the ERAS group versus 5 days in conventional care.
• Patients walked within 21 hours post-surgery, compared to 48 hours in the conventional group.

Implementing ERAS can lead to quicker recoveries and potentially lower complication rates.

• Infection rates showed a trend favoring ERAS, with lower surgical site infections (5 vs 10) and pneumonia (1 vs 5).
