Sampling method: NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE
Study population: Any patient schedules for colorectal surgery with the ERP at CHU Liège (Belgium). Patients age must be greater than 18 years. There is no maximum limit of age.

Brief summary: This observational study will evaluate the patient reported outcomes and postoperative patient-related quality of recovery in 150 patients undergoing colorectal surgery within an enhanced recovery program at CHU Liège. The QoR15 survey will be performed preoperatively and repeated postoperatively at hospital or via telephone calls on Day + 1, Day +2; Day + 3, Day 7 and Day + 14. The total score and the score at the subsections will be correlated with the medical and surgical characteristics of the patients.

Detailed description: For several years, we have been applying the concept of Enhanced Recovery Program (ERP) for colorectal surgery at CHU Liége (Belgium). Since October 2015, the University Hospital of Liège has been labelled as reference center for ERP after colorectal surgery by a French-speaking organization GRACE (French-speaking group for Enhanced Recovery after Surgery; www.grace-asso.fr). Despite the benefits for the patient and the economic benefits of such programs, few studies have investigated postoperative patient-related quality of recovery of patients who have had ERP.

This observational study will evaluate the patient reported outcomes and postoperative patient-related quality of recovery in 150 patients undergoing colorectal surgery according to an ERP at CHU Liège.The QoR15 survey will be performed preoperatively and repeated postoperatively at hospital or via telephone calls on Day + 1, Day +2; Day + 3, Day 7 and Day + 14. The total score and the answers at the subsections will be correlated with the medical and surgical characteristics of the patients.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* •any patient scheduled for colorectal surgery within an ERP at CHU Liège

Primary outcomes:
measure: Difference of Quality of recovery-15 (QoR-15) score between the preoperative scopre at Day 0 and postoperative score at Day 1 and its link between length of stay and occurrence of complication.
