The patients were divided into two groups: 91 cases were collected in a traditional group, which adopted traditional perioperative care, and 107 cases were collected in an MTNG group, which adopted MTNG measures. The differences in the clinical data including postoperative recovery, unplanned readmission rate, the implementation rate of nursing measures, the degree of a patient’s understanding of the disease, and patient compliance and satisfaction with nursing care during hospitalization were compared and analyzed between the two groups.Results: The MTNG group reflected a lower pain degree and hospitalization expenses (P 0.05). The implementation rate of nursing measures and the degree of patients understanding the disease, and patient compliance and satisfaction with nursing care were higher in the MTNG group (P < 0.05).Conclusion: The MTNG approach, based on ERAS with the LEER model, was conducive to the safe and rapid postoperative recovery of patients, the precise and efficient implementation of ERAS measures, the improvement of medical treatment satisfaction among patients.Keywords: LEER model, enhanced recovery after surgery, multi-target nursing
