Abstract
Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) guidelines and protocols have been well established and published for multiple and different surgical procedures that their implementation has led to improving patient outcomes with decreasing morbidity and hospital stay length. Since its introduction in oesophageal surgery, this multimodal and multidisciplinary care process has evolved overtime. Despite the large variation in implemented protocols and protocol components, the fast track care process implementation has showed an improvement in outcomes with reduced hospital stay length. This present review work aimed to give an overview on the evolution of the fast track process and its benefits on the patient outcomes in oesophageal surgery by reviewing the published literature.
