Pathway for enhanced recovery after spinal surgery-a systematic review of evidence for use of individual components

We aimed to delineate the clinical efficacy of individual pathway components in ERSS through a systematic narrative review. Methods We included systematic reviews and meta-analysis, randomized controlled trials, non-randomized controlled studies, and...
