Overview
Brief Summary
An enhanced recovery program has been developed to provide for colon cancer patients faster and more personalized postoperative treatment. Most of the previous studies have showed that the efficacy of the enhanced recovery program on both subjective and objective physical recovery of patients. However, such studies are rarely conducted in South Korea. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a postoperative enhanced recovery program in patients who underwent laparoscopic colon cancer surgery at a tertiary hospital in Korea.
