Inulin supplement before colorectal surgery outcomes
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking inulin (a fiber supplement) before elective colorectal cancer surgery can improve surgery outcomes. It may help with recovery and gut-related side effects by changing how the intestines respond around the operation.
