Prospective data analysis evaluates recovery quality in colorectal surgery with enhanced recovery protocols, indicating improved outcomes.

Key Points

  • This analysis examines the effects of enhanced recovery protocols on patient reported recovery after colorectal surgery.
  • Prospective enrollment of 158 patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery.
  • Patients treated under traditional care and optimized management with an enhanced recovery protocol were compared.
  • Quality of recovery assessed using the QoR-15 questionnaire on postoperative days 2 and 5.
  • ERP group reported significantly higher QoR-15 scores on postoperative days 2 and 5 compared to traditional care.
  • ERP resulted in reduced duration of hospital stay (6 vs. 8 days) and faster mobilization times.
