Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols define evidence-based treatment bundles in order to improve clinical outcomes and were established originally
in elective surgery. Nevertheless, ERAS protocols were also implemented in emergency abdominal surgery, resulting in reduced hospital length of stay (H-LOS) and
morbidity. However, implementation of ERAS in emergency abdominal surgery
was without impact on mortality. Elderly patients undergoing emergency abdominal
surgery are also expected to profit from ERAS programs, however, scientific evidence is currently lacking.
