Enhanced Recovery in Esophageal Surgery

Esophageal surgery remains the main treatment for esophageal cancer. Despite constant improvements, morbidity of esophagectomy remains high. For several years, enhanced rehabilitation programs have been used to reduce the impact of surgery on the patients to support a faster recovery. This study analyses the first results of newly implemented enhanced program after esophagectomy within the framework of an academic center.
