What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess how adherence to the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol affects patient-reported outcomes, surgical outcomes, and stress responses in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery. Conducted over three years at two hospitals in Greece, the study will enroll consecutive patients who will follow the ERAS pathway, which includes preoperative education, nutritional support, and postoperative care. Data on patient characteristics, surgical techniques, complications, and quality of life will be collected at various time points to evaluate the effectiveness of the ERAS program.
