Enhanced recovery pathways or fast-tracking following surgery can decrease the rate of postoperative complications and hospital length of stay. The objectives of this study were to implement an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway for patients undergoing a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy, to assess the safety and efficiency of this protocol by measuring associated postoperative outcomes, and to compare the outcomes for patients in the ERAS group with the outcomes for patients in a propensity-matched control group.
