Abstract

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols have revolutionized the approach to perioperative care in various surgical specialties. They reduce complications, improve patient outcomes, and shorten hospital lengths of stay. Implementation of ERAS protocols for neurosurgical procedures has been relatively underexplored and underutilized due to the unique challenges and complexities of neurosurgery. This narrative review explores the barriers to, and pioneering strategies of, standardized procedure-specific ERAS protocols, and the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in neurosurgery and neuroanesthsia, patient-centered approaches, and continuous quality improvement initiatives, to achieve better patient outcomes. It also discusses initiatives to guide future clinical practice, research, and guideline creation, to foster the development of tailored ERAS protocols in neurosurgery.
