Enhanced recovery after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy: a prospective, historically controlled, propensity-matched clinical study.

Conclusion: It is feasible to implement an enhanced recovery protocol after VATS lobectomy. Although the pathway is still early in its development in Canada, implementation of an ERAS pathway after VATS lobectomy was associated with decreased length of stay, with no observable increase in complication or readmission rates.
