About this study

Official title: Implementation of an Enhanced Recovery Program After Laparoscopic Colon Cancer Surgery

An enhanced recovery program has been developed to provide for colon cancer patients faster and more personalized postoperative treatment.

However, such studies are rarely conducted in South Korea. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a postoperative enhanced recovery program in patients who underwent laparoscopic colon cancer surgery at a tertiary hospital in Korea.
