Abstract

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multidisciplinary and multimodal program designed to minimize the response to surgical trauma and normalize the patient as early as possible. While managing the perioperative process of the patient, ERAS protocols a change from classical and dogma-based treatments to modern concepts with a radical change. Its basic philosophy is to provide early recovery by supporting mobilization and gastrointestinal functions without causing complications. This protocol consists of many different elements, and when they are applied together, they support each other. Nutrition is an important part of ERAS protocols, and it directly affects clinical outcomes. The recommended perioperative nutritional management algorithm for patients to be operated with ERAS protocols starts with a routine nutritional assessment and aims at early oral/enteral feeding at each stage. The aim of this compilation is to review current perioperative nutritional recommendations in the period in which ERAS protocols are adapted to all areas of surgery.Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multidisciplinary and multimodal program designed to minimize the response to surgical trauma and normalize the patient as early as possible.
