Protocols for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) are a collection of measures taken before and during surgery to improve the likelihood of a patient's full recovery. They will aid the patient in recovering from surgery more quickly and with less negative side effects. It is well-established that ERAS is beneficial in a number of other surgical subspecialties. It was previously believed that spine surgery was too complicated to be able to use ERAS methods. This has all changed, though, in the past ten years, as (ERAS) protocols have become increasingly common in spine surgery. The lumbar spine was the only area where ERAS was initially studied in the context of spine surgery. But ERAS has grown to encompass anterior cervical procedures, spine deformities, malignancies, and senior spine surgery. Longer hospital stays, reduced overall hospital expenses, less opioid intake during perioperative and postoperative periods, and decreased complication rates in spine surgery have all been demonstrated by ERAS. In this narrative review, we cover a lot of ground with ERAS in spine surgery, from the advantages of the technique to the different parts of the protocol for preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative measures.
