Summary

This study tests whether a special recovery plan (ERAS) helps people recover faster after minimally invasive stomach cancer surgery. The plan includes education before surgery, shorter fasting, early eating and walking, and less use of strong painkillers. Researchers will track how many patients meet discharge criteria, such as eating soft food and walking 600 meters, compared to standard care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol
What this could lead to: If it works, this could lead to a standard care plan that helps patients leave the hospital sooner after stomach cancer surgery.
What could go wrong: This is a relatively small trial (308 people) testing a care process, not a new drug. The results may not apply to all hospitals or patients.
