The present systematic review shows that , with the exception of laparoscopic surgery , objective evidence of the effect of individual components of ERAS protocol s in reducing the stress response following colorectal surgery is limited
Abstract Enhanced Recovery or Fast Track Recovery after Surgery protocol s ( ERAS ) have significantly changed perioperative care following colorectal surgery and are promoted as reducing the stress response to surgery .
