Based on a recent study by Li , this editorial examines the significance of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols for elderly patients with gastric cancer. Cancer-related mortality, which is overwhelmingly caused by gastric cancer, calls for effective treatment strategies. Despite advances in the field of oncology, conventional postoperative care often results in prolonged hospital stays and increased complications. The aim of ERAS is to expedite recovery, reduce surgical stress, and improve patient satisfaction. The study of Li showed that, compared to traditional care, ERAS significantly reduces mortality risk, shortens hospital stays, and decreases postoperative complications. These findings support the widespread implementation of ERAS protocols in surgical practice to enhance patient outcomes and healthcare value.
基于李最近的一项研究，本社论探讨了老年胃癌患者术后加速康复（ERAS）方案的意义。与癌症相关的死亡率主要由胃癌导致，这需要有效的治疗策略。尽管肿瘤学领域取得了进展，但传统的术后护理往往导致住院时间延长和并发症增加。ERAS的目的是加快康复、减轻手术应激并提高患者满意度。李的研究表明，与传统护理相比，ERAS显著降低死亡风险、缩短住院时间并减少术后并发症。这些发现支持在外科实践中广泛实施ERAS方案，以改善患者预后和医疗价值。
