Abstract: In recent years, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been proved to be beneficial in terms of improving the postoperative outcomes, and shortening postoperative hospital stay in the context of gastrointestinal, gynecologic and urologic surgery. However, the role of ERAS for pancreatic surgery is still unclear and controversial, as the complex surgical procedure and high risk of postoperative complications, and moreover,high quality randomized controlled trials are still  lacking.In this article, authors try to discuss the current issues of the feasibility of the application of ERAS in pancreatic surgery.
