The Effect of Preoperative Education Based on ERAS Protocols on Postoperative Recovery in Patients Undergoing Colorectal Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 7 Jan 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This randomized controlled trial describes the design and conduct of ERAS-based preoperative education in patients with colorectal cancer undergoing colorectal surgery. The study is conducted in the general surgery clinics of Izmir City Hospital. Eligible patients are randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving structured preoperative ERAS-based education supported by an educational booklet or a control group receiving standard preoperative care routinely provided in the clinic. Postoperative recovery outcomes are predefined in the study protocol. The primary outcome is postoperative recovery on the first postoperative day, measured using the Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) questionnaire. Secondary outcomes include postoperative hospital length of stay, total length of hospital stay, reoperation during hospitalization, and 30-day readmission related to postoperative complications.
