Applicability of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocols in the Therapeutic Endoscopy Suite

This study aims to investigate the impact of implementing ERAS protocols on patient outcomes in therapeutic endoscopy, focusing on patients undergoing ESD. Although considered a less invasive alternative to conventional surgical resection, ESD can still result in significant physiological stress, postoperative discomfort, and potential complications. By exploring the application of ERAS principles to therapeutic endoscopy and evaluating their effectiveness, this study aims to address the current lack of knowledge in this field and promote the adoption of ERAS principles in managing ESD patients. Ultimately, the goal is to assess if the implementation of the ERAS process in these therapeutic endoscopy procedures can reduce procedure-related complications, improve patient outcomes, and enhance after-procedural recovery.
