Abstract
As a new kind of perioperative management strategy and ideas, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) brings a series of traditional perioperative treatment measures for optimization based on evidence-based medicine. Its primary aim is to decrease surgery-related stress, complications, and also to facilitate recovery with multimodal treatments. The ERAS pathway has been widely applied and proved to be efficient in gastrointestinal, colorectal, orthopedic, thoracic and gynecological surgery. Owing to the complexity of surgical procedure, long operation time and high perioperative complication rate in liver transplantation compared with other surgeries. This new concept has not been widely accepted or recommended in liver transplantation, although some previous studies have validated its safety and effectiveness. This paper overviewed the recent literature on the specific procedures, efficacy, safety and development of ERAS applied in liver transplantation. Key words: Liver transplantation; Enhanced recove-ry after surgery; Perioperative period
