Enhance recovery after Surgery (ERAS) or â??fast trackâ?? pathways is a multidisciplinary approach to patients undergoing colorectal surgery design to improve the quality of overall care by expediting the recovery and reducing the hospital stay. These pathways use existing evidence to streamline and standardize the perioperative management of patients to improve pain management to speed up the intestinal recovery to facilitate rapid discharge from hospital and thus to minimize overall complication rate, minimize health cost and improve patient satisfaction. The fast track protocols are evidence based and shown to positively influence the patient outcomes.
