Abstract
Abstract Background: Patient undergoing major gastro-intestinal tract surgery are at risk of nutritional depletion due to surgical stress, inadequate nutritional intake and subsequent increase in metabolic rate. The aim of this work is to evaluate the outcome of early oral feeding, balanced analgesia and enforced mobilization, which are integral parts of fast track rehabilitation program of colorectal surgery, versus delayed oral feeding and regular forms of mobilization and pain control in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. Patients and methods: These study was a prospective randomized clinical trial included 40 patient’s undergoing colorectal surgery. Results: Group II showed a high statistically significant operation time than Group I. (p<0.001). Group II showed a high statistically significant NPO while Group I showed a high Oral liquid diet, Full liquid diet and Regular diet (p<0.001). Conclusion: The application of an enhanced recovery program for “elective” colorectal surgery has consistently been shown to decrease postoperative complication, shorten length of hospital stay, facilitate patient recovery, shorten convalescence, and lower healthcare cost.
