Objective: To review the literature on enhanced recovery programmes in head and neck surgery. Method: A systematic review was performed in May 2013. Results: Thirteen articles discussing enhanced recovery after laryngectomy, neck dissection, major ablative surgery and microvascular reconstruction were identified. Articles on general pre-operative preparation and post-operative care were also reviewed. Conclusion: Considerable evidence is available supporting enhanced recovery in head and neck surgery that could be of benefit to patients and which surgeons should be aware of.
