Anesthesiologists play a pivotal role in facilitating recovery of patients undergoing colorectal surgery, as many Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) elements are under their direct control. Successful implementation of ERAS programs requires that anesthesiologists become more involved in perioperative care and more aware of the impact of anesthetic techniques on surgical outcomes and recovery. Key to achieving success is strict adherence to the principle of aggregation of marginal gains. This article reviews anesthetic and analgesic care of patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery in the context of an ERAS program, and also discusses anesthesia considerations for emergency colorectal surgery.

Abstract

Anesthesiologists play a pivotal role in facilitating recovery of patients undergoing colorectal surgery, as many Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) elements are under their direct control. Successful implementation of ERAS programs requires that anesthesiologists become more involved in perioperative care and more aware of the impact of anesthetic techniques on surgical outcomes and recovery. Key to achieving success is strict adherence to the principle of aggregation of marginal gains. This article reviews anesthetic and analgesic care of patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery in the context of an ERAS program, and also discusses anesthesia considerations for emergency colorectal surgery.
