The Development and Current Practices for Enhanced Recovery Following Colorectal Resection in The United Kingdom
Journal Title: International Journal of Surgery and Research (IJSR) - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Enhanced recovery following colorectal resection is a set of interventions which, when combined, lead to early return of gut function, fewer complications and a shorter length of stay. It divides the patient’s journey into stages and ensures the surgical stress inflicted onto the patient is minimised and normalisation can occur as soon as possible. There has been much research into this new and advancing field with several meta-analyses confirming its benefit.
