Enhanced recovery protocols and patient care components are outlined to optimize postoperative convalescence and speedier recovery after colorectal surgery.
This review outlines protocols and components of patient care aimed at enhanced and speedier recovery after colorectal surgery.
Does not support immediate practice change after colorectal surgery; leaves open efficacy pending prospective randomized validation.
Current discourse in science of surgery is largely dictated by patient reported outcomes. Surgery has come a long way from being the life saving to limb saving . Even clinical and functional outcomes have stabilized and follow a standard clinical pathway . There are efforts still going on to make patient return to his/her normal life at the earliest. This postoperative convalescence is being addressed by various protocols aimed at enhanced and speedier recovery after the surgery. This is specifically important in colorectal surgery . This article outlines the important components of the patient care for speedier recovery after colorectal surgery.
