Comprehensive economic evaluation of enhanced recovery after surgery in hepatectomy

Abstract Background Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is attracting extensive attention and being widely applied to reduce postoperative stress and accelerate recovery. However, the economic benefits of ERAS are less clarified at the social level. We aimed to assess the economic impact of ERAS...
