Does a trans-institutional transdisciplinary care approach improve hospital stay and functional recovery in frail elderly patients having colorectal surgery?
A trans-institutional transdisciplinary care approach with prehabilitation may reduce hospital stay and improve functional recovery in frail elderly patients undergoing colorectal surgery.
Through a trans-institutional transdisciplinary approach, we managed to achieve a significantly shorter hospital stay in frail patients having colorectal surgery. All elective patients who received prehabilitation achieved full functional recovery.
