About
Olle Ljungqvist is a pioneering researcher in perioperative care, best known for advancing the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol—a transformative approach that optimizes patient recovery through evidence-based, multimodal care. His work centers on improving surgical outcomes by minimizing metabolic stress, enhancing mobilization, and reducing complications. Ljungqvist’s major contributions include demonstrating how ERAS protocols improve short-term outcomes in colorectal and rectal tumor surgery, as evidenced by his 2021 study (19 citations) comparing robotic, laparoscopic, and open techniques within ERAS. He also investigates the interplay between surgery and metabolic responses, such as insulin resistance and female sex hormones (2018, 3 citations), and the role of immediate postoperative mobilization (2024, 13 citations). His research on acute kidney injury within ERAS programs (2021, 9 citations) further highlights his focus on patient safety. With over 20 citations for his 2016 work on robotic hysterectomy, Ljungqvist’s impact is global, shaping clinical guidelines and inspiring a generation of surgeons and researchers to prioritize recovery-centered care.
