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.
May shorten hospital stay and aid recovery in frail elderly colorectal patients; leaves open randomized confirmation of benefit.
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.
