It was 1st described in open heart surgery, then modified and applied successfully in colorectal surgery. FT program was described in liver resection for the 1st time in 2008. Although the program has become widely accepted, it has not yet been considered the standard of care in liver surgery.<h4>Objectives</h4>we performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of using the FT program compared to the traditional care (TC), on the main clinical and surgical outcomes for patients who underwent elective liver resection.<h4>Methods</h4>PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Cochran databases were searched to identify eligible articles that compared FTMedicinee4154https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC4956800biostudies-literatureFast track program in liver resection: a PRISMA-compliant systematic review and meta-analysis.PMC4956800Vivarelli MNicolini DMocchegiani FAhmed EAColetta MVincenzi PMontalti RVecchi AfalseFast track program in liver resection: a PRISMA-compliant systematic review and meta-analysis.<h4>Background</h4>FT program (FT) is a multimodal approach used to enhance postoperative rehabilitation and accelerate recovery.
