Enhanced recovery after surgery: the current state in spinal neurosurgery

Abstract

The last decade of the XXI century was marked by the active development and introduction into clinical practice of the technology of Enhanced recovery after surgery. It allows you to ensure a quick and high‑quality recovery after surgery, reduce the number of complications, reduce the time of hospitalization and medical costs without increasing repeated hospitalizations, postoperative morbidity and the need for observation in the intensive care unit, minimize differences in the provision of perioperative care in various medical institutions and improve the quality of medical care to the population.Aim. To describe the history of development and current state of Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS or fast‑track), to present the ERAS Society protocol for spine surgery in adults and a consolidated protocol in children, and also have determined the results of the implementation of ERAS in various sections of spinal neurosurgery.
