The purpose of this study is to evaluate the health cost and clinical outcome by introducing enhanced recovery (ERAS) compared to conventional recovery in colorectal surgery.

Read the detailed description

Aim of the sudy:

  1. Clinical evaluation: To investigate if patients treated with enhanced recovery have a shorter hospital stay and less morbidity than the patients treated conventionally. Other clinical questions witch might be answered in this study are clinical surgical stress response (insulin resistent), amount of analgetics used and time to normal activity.
  2. Evaluation of quality of life: Instruments used in this sudy to evaluate quality of life are 15 D and qualitative interview.
  3. Economic evaluation: Cost-utility analysis of the clinical studies
  4. Compare patients who received a fast track program with dedicated fast track- and stoma nurse specialist and special focus on counselling and stoma education, compared with patients receiving existing current practice of stoma-education in a traditional care pathway, could reduce the length of hospital stay, readmission and stoma related complications
  5. Further we will tray to generate additional insights into the impact of counselling when groups of patients are otherwise equal in terms of fast-track criteria. We are therefore continuing the enrolling of our colorectal patients in which both study arms contain the same ERAS items; the arms will only differ in terms of perioperative information and guidance as well as follow-up by dedicated nurses.
