Recovery after major gastrointestinal surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well you recover after major or intermediate surgery on your stomach, intestines, colon, or rectum. It measures your ability to do daily activities and how many days you spend at home (instead of the hospital) in the first 30 days after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.

- You are willing and able to sign a consent form to join the study.
- Your medical team can collect all the information needed for the study during and after your surgery.
