Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a general concept which aims at obtaining a rapid return to normal physiological activities after the procedure. ERAS is particularly well adapted for caesarean delivery as it encourages early mobilization and early drinking and feeding, rapid withdrawal of catheters, and at the end may reduce hospital length of say. By improving maternal status, ERAS has the ability to increase maternal satisfaction and enhance maternal-neonatal bonding. Components of ERAS protocols require understanding of all healthcare providers working in the maternity unit and should be associated with interprofessional management. Although some components are undertaken at the time of the surgical procedure, most are conducted mainly in the postoperative period, in hospital but also after discharge and require home care, requiring wellorganised transition of care.
