Implementing prehabilitation within an ERAS® pathway

Challenges, lessons learned, and outcomes in pancreatic surgery


What is this webinar about?

A surgeon, two ERAS® nurse coordinators and an adapted physical activity specialist on how they built prehabilitation into their ERAS® pathway.

Speakers from Besançon University Hospital, a high-volume pancreatic surgery center, share how it works in practice and what they have learned since prehabilitation became part of their pancreatic surgery pathway.
