Core Tip
Core Tip: Improved adherence to enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS®) protocols have reduced the occurrence of overall and major complications. The implementation of ERAS® allows early access to adjuvant therapies ERAS® protocols may reduce surgical stress and modulate immune response There is a lack of consensus regarding the cut-off point for compliance with the ERAS® components. More studies are needed to show us the real role of ERAS® in oncological results in the field of liver surgery.
