Early discharge after colorectal surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether it's safe and beneficial for patients to leave the hospital sooner after planned colorectal surgery. It aims to see if early discharge can help you recover at home with proper support.

This trial tests whether patients can safely recover at home instead of staying in the hospital after colorectal surgery. If you qualify, you'll receive care at home, which may help you feel more comfortable and recover faster.
This study tests whether it is safe for patients to go home the same day after robotic colon surgery. If you are healthy enough and have help at home, you may be able to recover there instead of staying in the hospital overnight.
This study tests whether a same-day surgery approach for colorectal cancer is safe and effective. It uses small incisions and special pain management to help you recover faster at home with a caregiver nearby.
This study tests whether a nurse-led program that helps patients get up and walk soon after colorectal surgery improves recovery. It may help you feel better faster and leave the hospital sooner.
This study looks at whether a specific internal stitch connection (an anastomosis) helps your bowel start working sooner and may help you leave the hospital earlier after right colon surgery. It’s mainly for adults having planned, minimally invasive right hemicolectomy.
This study compares early discharge from the hospital with follow-up care at home versus the usual hospital stay after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. It aims to see if going home early with home care is safe and reduces costs.
