    Purpose Of ReviewEnhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols and interventional locoregional anesthesia (LRA) techniques continuously evolve. This review outlines the latest recommendations for the use of regional anesthesia in ERAS protocols and emerging interventional analgesia techniques.Recent FindingsResearch in ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia has led to a refinement of the traditional techniques and the introduction of a number of new approaches to complement ERAS strategies. The efficacy and versatility of LRA enable its use in an increasing number of ERAS indications.SummaryThe implementation of ERAS protocols in different surgical procedures reduces overall complications and recovery time. Multimodal analgesia strategies with regional anesthesia techniques are some of the key interventions contributing to the improvement in postoperative outcomes.Copyright © 2021 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
