| Purpose of the guideline: | Esophageal cancer surgery, including esophagectomy and radical lymph node dissection, is a complex operation with high morbidity and mortality. Currently, an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program covering preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care has been designed specifically for esophageal cancer surgery and has been shown to improve patient outcomes associated with this complex surgery. This patient guide aims to provide reliable perioperative ERAS recommendations for esophageal cancer surgery to help patients and caregivers undergoing esophageal cancer surgery understand the relevant knowledge, participate in the ERAS process to make healthcare decisions, and improve patient outcomes. |
