Introduction: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multimodal Perioperative care pathway 
aiming to decrease the stress response during the surgical procedure to facilitate the maintenance of 
preoperative bodily compositions and organ function and to achieve early recovery. Aim of the work:
To compare the outcomes between enhanced recovery and traditional protocols of management after 
colorectal surgery. Patients and methods: This study included 40 patients undergoing colorectal 
surgery, 20 patients managed by enhanced recovery and 20 patients managed by conventional 
protocols. Results: Patients managed by enhanced recovery have the same post-operative 
complications and less duration of hospital stay. Conclusion: Patients managed by enhanced recovery 
have comparable post-operative complications as the patients managed with traditional protocols and 
less duration of hospital stay.
