[The possibility and feasibility of implementation of enhanced recovery after surgery program in pancreatic surgery]

Although the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)had been raised for nearly 20 years, the application of ERAS in pancreatic surgery is still restricted because of great trauma and high incidence of postoperative complications.ERAS have demonstrated significantly accelerated postoperative recovery in pancreatic resections.Large amounts of researches confirmed that using an ERAS protocol in pancreatic surgery could help reduce overall morbidity and shorten postoperative length of hospital stay and reduce in-hospital costs. Systemic standard operating procedure could improve executive ability of the ERAS system, including establishing multi-disciplinary team, making management processes, developing verification regime, guarding against medical risks, increasing patient engagement, setting discharge criteria, improving re-admission system.In conclusion, ERAS can be realized in pancreatic surgery and will get substantial development in future.
