The course was complicated with hemorrhagic shock and infection which were dealt promptly, with good recovery.LessonsIn our case, the multimodal management through ERAS path has helped decrease stress level, decrease complication, decrease morbidity, decrease the length of stay in the hospital, and aid in faster recovery.
