Implementation of the ERAS in Colorectal Cancer Patients: a Single Arm Study

The goal of this study is to implement and investigate the efficacy of an Early Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol in South Korean colorectal cancer patients. The primary outcome will be the postoperative time taken to achieve the 'discharge criteria'. Secondary outcomes will include adherence, hospital stay, early complications, mortality, pain scores, re-admission and quality of life questionnaire scores. As a single arm study, all participants will be treated according to an ERAS protocol, which includes components such as early ambulation, minimal fasting, multimodal pain control and omission of- or early removal of invasive catheters.
