Core Tip	This study explores the development of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program tailored to retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS) surgery through a structured expert survey. Despite growing interest, surgeon concordance on the relevance and feasibility of proposed ERAS items remains limited, even after a one-year interval. These findings underscore the complexity of translating general ERAS principles into RPS-specific protocols and highlight the urgent need for broader multidisciplinary collaboration to establish a standardized, consensus-based pathway. This work lays the groundwork for future efforts aimed at optimizing perioperative care and improving outcomes in RPS patients.
