    Early postoperative ambulation is essential in the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol for hepatobiliary surgery.

  • 2

    63.4% of patients in the study were compliant with the early ambulation protocol, with compliance varying by surgical procedure.

  • 3

    Common barriers to compliance included postoperative pain, fatigue, knowledge deficits, and multiple drainage tubes.

  • 4

    Factors associated with non-compliance included surgical magnitude, drainage burden, frailty, age, and absence of a family companion.

  • 5

    Non-compliance was linked to longer hospital stays and higher rates of pulmonary complications and 30-day readmissions.
