Multidisciplinary Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Pathway for Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a multimodal multidisciplinary bundle aiming to provide the best evidence-based care to the patient in order to improve recovery by reducing the surgical stress. The principles of ERAS have been successfully applied in many surgical disciplines, including hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. The present chapter will review the current evidence in favor of ERAS for liver and pancreas surgery with focus on the multidisciplinary interaction between healthcare professionals involved in the patient's perioperative care.
