Brief summary
The implementation of ERAS protocol in elective cranial neurosurgical cases in a tertiary hospital.
Detailed description
In this study, the investigators have integrated the most current data from literature aiming to investigate the effectiveness of a contemporary ERAS protocol for elective cranial neurosurgical cases in a tertiary hospital. The hypothesis is that the implementation of such protocol will shorten the postoperative length of stay, minimize the complication rates, and improve the overall clinical status of patients undergoing elective craniotomy compared to the standard perioperative care
