    AbstractThis study describes the implementation of a multimodal, multidisciplinary, evidence-based ERAS program in oncologic spine surgery, identifies and measures several relevant postoperative recovery outcomes, and demonstrates the feasibility and potential benefit of the program in improving analgesia and decreasing opioid consumption. The study underscores the importance of defining and capturing meaningful, patient-specific, and patient-reported outcomes, and constant evaluation and monitoring of a group's compliance with the program. The study represents the steppingstone for evaluation and improvement of a young ERAS program for spine surgery and serves as a roadmap for further initiatives and larger-scale studies.
