ERAS on Postoperative Recovery After Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy

The ERAS protocol involves a pre-admission patient education using audiovisual videos, the reduction of perioperative fasting time with administration of preoperative carbohydrate loading and early resumption of oral feeding after surgery, multimodal postoperative nausea and vomiting prevention, early removal of the nasogastric tube and urinary catheter, and multimodal analgesia to minimize opioid consumption after surgery.
