This focused analysis provides evidence that ERAS protocols can be safely and effectively implemented in elderly patients undergoing emergency PPU repair, resulting in accelerated recovery, improved pain control, and reduced hospital stay without compromising safety. These findings challenge traditional conservative approaches to perioperative care in elderly emergency surgery patients. However, our findings primarily apply to a relatively stable 'young-elderly' subgroup and may not reflect outcomes in frailer or critically ill elderly populations.
