Overview

Brief Summary

Prospective, interventionist, controlled and randomized study to test the effectiveness of multimodal prehabilitation protocol in patients who will undergo gynecological surgery.

Detailed Description

Prospective, interventionist and randomized controlled trial in a 1: 1 ratio, open to the multidisciplinary team but blind to surgeons and anaesthesiologists. The aim is to test the effectiveness of a multimodal prehabilitation protocol in patients with diagnosed or suspicious gynaecological cancer, who will undergo gynaecological surgery. The multidisciplinary prehabilitation program will be applied to the intervention group. For the group participating in the prehabilitation and for the control group, the protocol and specific recommendations for gynecological cancer defined by the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) guidelines will be applied.
