After propensity score-matched analysis (PSM), 464 pairs of well-matched patients were generated for comparative study. Incomplete ERAS reduced the incidence of postoperative complications (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.002), both mild (6.7% vs. 10.8%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.008) and severe (3.2% vs. 6.0%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.008). Statistically, incomplete ERAS reduced indirect surgical complications (27,5.8% vs. 59, 12.7) but not local complications (19,4.1% vs. 19, 4.1%).
