Abstract

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is being increasingly recognized as a potential protocol to improve patient outcomes. Several specialties have investigated the utility of this protocol and have implemented it in its various forms. However, the role of ERAS in neurosurgery remains elusive. Herein, the author presents the argument for and against the implementation of ERAS protocol in neurosurgical patients.
