COLORECTAL SURGERY ENHANCED RECOVERY PROGRAMME - Draft Guidelines
This document provides guidelines for an Enhanced Recovery Programme for patients undergoing colorectal surgery at Harrogate District Hospital. The programme aims to improve patient recovery after surgery and reduce morbidity by enabling earlier discharge without compromising safety. Key elements of the programme include extensive pre-operative counselling and nutrition, minimally invasive surgery techniques, multimodal pain control including epidurals, early mobilization and feeding, and targeted discharge goals. Successful implementation requires a multidisciplinary team approach involving surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, physiotherapists and other specialists.
