The present systematic review shows that , with the exception of laparoscopic surgery , objective evidence of the effect of individual components of ERAS protocol s in reducing the stress response following colorectal surgery is limited
Abstract Enhanced Recovery or Fast Track Recovery after Surgery protocol s ( ERAS ) have significantly changed perioperative care following colorectal surgery and are promoted as reducing the stress response to surgery .
Shorter hospital stay associated with fastrack postoperative care pathways and laparoscopic intestinal resection are not associated with increased physical activity
Objective Recent prospect i ve studies have shown that ‘ fast track ’ postoperative care protocol s ( FT ) can reduce hospitalization after major intestinal surgery to 4.5 days , as compared to the 7–10 days with traditional management ( TR ) and 2.5 days after laparoscopic surgery ( LC ) . We used computerized actigraphy ( CA ) to evaluate physical activity using TR , FT and LC approaches
