Global Network a Measurable International Impact
Connecting multidisciplinary teams across the world to set the gold standard in evidence-based surgical care and patient recovery.
Improving perioperative care
A global approach to better surgical recovery
ERAS® represents a paradigm shift in perioperative care, replacing traditional practices with evidence-based best practices when necessary. It is comprehensive in scope, covering all areas of the patient’s journey through the surgical process.
Evidence-Based Guidelines for Perioperative Care
ERAS® Society Guidelines
Developed independently by leading international experts, ERAS® Society Guidelines provide multidisciplinary, evidence-based recommendations across a wide range of surgical specialties.
Our guidelines are designed to standardise clinical best practice, reduce post-surgical complications, and accelerate patient recovery worldwide.
All guidelines are open access and free.
Proven Impact Through Evidence-Based Guidelines
Driven by our multidisciplinary ERAS® Guidelines, evidence-based care pathways consistently transform surgical outcomes—reducing post-surgical complications by 30–50% and shortening hospital length of stay by 30% worldwide
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery
ERAS® is a multimodal perioperative care pathway designed to achieve early recovery for patients undergoing major surgery.
ERAS® represents a paradigm shift in perioperative care in two ways. First, it re-examines traditional practices, replacing them with evidence-based best practices when necessary. Second, it is comprehensive in its scope, covering all areas of the patient’s journey through the surgical process.
The key factors that keep patients in the hospital after surgery include the need for parenteral analgesia, the need for intravenous fluids secondary to gut dysfunction, bed rest caused by lack of mobility.
The central elements of the ERAS® pathway address these key factors, helping to clarify how they interact to affect patient recovery. In addition, the ERAS® pathway provides guidance to all involved in perioperative care, helping them to work as a well-coordinated team to provide the best care.
A decade of ERAS
Tan Tock Seng Hospital in Singapore benefits from implementing ERAS
The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery programme has delivered sustained improvements in reduced hospital stays, readmissions, and patient outcomes.

ERAS implementation program:
an implementation and training program designed for perioperative care teams to implement, reach and maintain a high compliance level to the different ERAS Protocols available.
By combining evidence-based best practices across every stage of the surgical journey, ERAS pathways significantly reduce post-operative complications and promote faster healing. The coordinated care team works together to ensure the safe recovery and return to the daily life as smoothly as possible for all patients.
Registration to open late 2026.
Abstract submission to open early 2027.
