Patients’ functional recovery with ERP vs traditional pathway
Editor's Note
An enhanced recovery pathway (ERP) allowed liver surgery patients to return to normal function sooner than a traditional pathway in this study.
Patients on the ERP reported lower immediate postoperative pain scores, fewer complications, and decreased length of stay than those on the traditional pathway.
ERP patients also were more likely to return to baseline functional status and adjuvant cancer therapies in a shorter amount of time.
