Enhanced Recovery after Elective Craniotomy for Brain Tumours

J Pak Med Assoc. 2019 May;69(5):749-751.

Abstract

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is aimed at accelerated rehabilitation after surgery, and involves a multidisciplinary approach. Significant work has been published on this concept with regards to abdominal surgeries, however, the idea is relatively new for those undergoing neurosurgical procedures. We have reviewed literature on ERAS in patients undergoing craniotomy for brain tumours.
