      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: ERAS program A- Before surgery: limit fasting to 6 hours before surgery, consumption of carbohydrate fluids up to 2 hours before surgery, reducing opioid consumption, reducing the volume of fluid intake to normal volume (normovolemic); prescribing anti-emetic drugs before and after surgery to reduce nausea and vomiting, normal blood sugar during the protocol, avoiding of drain usage, B- Postoperative: early oral feeding immediately after becoming conscious, make the patient to walk as soon as possible to prevent from ileus, administration of non-opioid analgesics to reduce pain and ileus and improve nutrition C- Postoperative follow-up: Evaluation for complications of surgery including wound infection, need for readmission. Intervention 2: Control group: routine care before and after surgery which includes the following : using opioids to relieve pain, using drains such as a nasogastric tube (NG-tube), or Foley catheter, in case of needing to keep the patient in fasting situation (NPO).</i_freetext>
