Zhang Z, et al. - Researchers herein examined how implementation of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program affects postoperative recovery and the long-term prognosis in patients who underwent hepatectomy. A total of 1,143 patients who underwent hepatectomy from January 2015 to December 2018 in Huadong Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, were included in this retrospective study.
