title: [Critical role of enhanced recovery after surgery during the perioperative management].
abstract: Perioperative management includes all the treatments during pre-, intra-, and post-operative periods. The enhanced recovery after surgery applies a series of evidence-based perioperative measures to accelerate patients' recovery by reducing both physical and mental stress caused by surgical operation. Compared with traditional perioperative management, it decreases the rate of complication and re-admission, and shortens the length of hospitalization without any impact on safety. The principle, strategy, and technique of enhanced recovery after surgery will be integrated into the perioperative management of all the patients in the future.
