Core Tip This study introduces fastest recovery after surgery as an optimized protocol building upon enhanced recovery after surgery. In patients who underwent gastrointestinal tumor surgery, fastest recovery after surgery achieved a remarkably short median postoperative stay of approximately 22.4 hours without increasing complication rates; moreover, it also significantly improved early quality of life and patient satisfaction. This effect represents a significant advancement in perioperative care, thus demonstrating that further acceleration of recovery beyond traditional enhanced recovery after surgery is both feasible and safe in carefully selected patients.
