Why the study?
Colorectal surgery has historically been associated with long hospital stays, high costs, and high complication rates, and identifying which components within enhanced recovery bundles are most beneficial remains difficult.
Do enhanced recovery protocols improve patient outcomes in patients undergoing elective colon and rectal surgery?
