Nazzani S, et al. - Considering the implementation of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols (ERAS) since 2001, researchers for the first time analyzed the length of stay (LOS) changes over time after major surgical oncology procedures (MSOPs). LOS has decreased for nine out of ten MSOPs in a significant fashion since the implementation of ERAS protocols. Despite seemingly marginal on an annual basis, these gain had a cumulative effect, over the study span, ranging from 7.7% to 49.2%, which can hardly be interpreted as marginal. LOS reduction directly translates in total hospital charges savings.
