Abstract: Objective:To explore the safety and feasibility of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery（ERAS）in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods:194 gastric cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy in our hospital were enrolled in this randomized controlled trial.The subjects were randomly divided into the ERAS program group（n=98），and the conventional control group（n=96）.The clinical characteristics，recovery variables，and complications of patients were analyzed.Results:In the ERAS group，the removal time of abdominal drainage tube，the time of gastric tube removal，the time of anus recovery，exhaust defecation，oral fluid diet time，halfflow diet time and hospital stay were significantly shortened，and the hospitalization cost was significantly reduced.There was statistical difference between the two groups（P<0.05）.The incidence of intestinal obstruction，delayed gastric emptying，and incision infection was lower in the ERAS program group than in the control group，with a significant difference（P<0.05）.Conclusion:The concept of enhanced recovery after surgery is safely and effectively applied to laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
