Patients often suffer from considerable postoperative pain and indigestion, which prolongs their in-hospital stay. Almost 10% of patients develop postoperative complications. The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program has proven its efficacy in elective surgery and could hypothetically improve LA outcomes. Currently, there is no ERAS program for LA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A modified ERAS (mERAS) protocol was studied in a prospective, randomized nonblinded clinical trial. The mERAS group consisted of 50 patients; the control group, of 54 patients. The mERAS protocol included a patient information brochure; minimizing drain use; local anesthesia; low-pressure pneumoperitoneum; early mobilization and oral diet. The primary outcome was postoperative length of stay (pLOS).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Modified protocol reduced median pLOS to 1.25\u00a0days vs 2\u00a0days in the controls (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.0001).
