Randomized Controlled Trial
Randomized clinical trial on enhanced recovery versus standard care following open liver resection.
Enhanced recovery programmes (ERPs) have been shown to reduce length of hospital stay (LOS) and complications in colorectal surgery. Whether ERPs have the same benefits in open liver resection surgery is unclear, and randomized clinical trials are lacking. ⋯ ISRCTN03274575 (http://www.controlled-trials.com).
