Abstract

Enhanced recovery is the application of evidence-based, perioperative medicine to the care of the surgical patient with a goal of best surgical outcomes. In this chapter we review the thoughtful development of this aspect of perioperative medicine, and, specifically, we discuss the aspects of perioperative medicine that have been defined as enhanced recovery for the colorectal surgery patient.
