1. Minimally Invasive Surgeries: Techniques like laparoscopic and robotic surgeries involve smaller incisions, leading to faster recovery times and shorter hospital stays. 2. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS): ERAS protocols are designed to speed up recovery through optimized preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care. 3. Outpatient Chemotherapy and Radiation: Advances in chemotherapy and radiation therapy allow many treatments to be administered on an outpatient basis, reducing the need for inpatient care. 4. Telemedicine: Virtual consultations and remote monitoring enable patients to receive medical advice and follow-ups from the comfort of their homes.
