Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Program (ERAS)

Know What To Expect

The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Program (ERAS) uses a combination of the latest research and best practice guidelines to optimize surgical outcomes. ERAS maintains an important focus on patient participation throughout all the phases of surgical preparation, care, and recovery.

ERAS is a patient centered, evidenced-based program and team approach with defined pathways for each phase of surgical care including the pre-surgery, during surgery, and post-surgery. The goal of ERAS is to ensure that your surgery is a success, and you get back to doing what you love faster.

There are some easy-to-follow steps that you can take to be an active participant in your surgical care.
