Implementing enhanced recovery after thoracic surgery (ERATS) in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) is problematic.

During the postoperative phase, 13 patients (13%) were excluded secondary. These complication rates were lower in the ERATS group: lack of reexpansion (14.63% vs 16.10%: p\u2009=\u20090.72), pleural effusion (0% vs 10.86%, p\u2009=\u20090.05), and prolonged air leak (17.07% vs 30.43%, p\u2009=\u20090.14). The pain level decreased significantly in the ERATS group from postoperative H3 ( p\u2009=\u20090.006). This difference was significant at H6 ( p\u2009=\u20090.001), H24 ( p\u2009=\u20090.05), H48 ( p\u2009=\u20090.01), discharge ( p\u2009=\u20090.002), and after 15 days ( p\u2009=\u20090.01), with a decreased analgesic consumption. The length of hospital stay was shorter in the ERAS group (median six days vs seven days, p\u2009=\u20090.17).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study provides an adapted ERATS protocol, applicable regardless of the surgical approach or the type of resection and suitable for LMIC hospital's conditions.
