Core Tip	Although enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol in colorectal surgery has been promoted as standard of care, its thorough application is still scarce, due to difficulties in overcoming cultural and organizational barriers that can undermine its start-up and diffusion. This study is focused on the prospective evaluation of compliance to a full-items ERAS protocol, through the progressive steps of its implementation at a large University Hospital from the “pilot study” phase to the current status of “standard of care”. Results achieved confirm that ERAS protocol implementation allows quicker postoperative recovery and shortens the hospitalization, compared to historical series, the higher is the compliance-rate.
