Randomized clinical trial of enhanced recovery versus standard care after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Optimized perioperative care within an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol is designed to reduce morbidity after surgery, resulting in a shorter hospital stay. The present study evaluated this approach in the context of sleeve gastrectomy for patients with morbid obesity. ⋯ NCT01303809 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov).
