Recover at home after colorectal surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether it is safe and effective to recover at home right after keyhole colorectal surgery, instead of staying in the hospital. It is for people who are stable, have little bleeding, and have enough support at home.
