Regular Diet After Colorectal Surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether patients can safely eat a regular diet right after colorectal surgery (surgery to remove part of the colon or rectum), rather than waiting. Researchers want to see if this speeds up recovery and improves outcomes.

Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled to have colorectal surgery (removal of part of your colon or rectum)
