Institutional Development of an Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) Protocol for Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery

Introduction: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) or simply enhanced surgical recovery (ESR) is a comprehensive paradigm spanning preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care to minimize the perioperative morbidity from surgery. ERAS initiatives have been previously published in spinal neurosurgery but little attention has been given to the use of ERAS after endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery.
