Summary

This study tested whether a 20-minute education session before colorectal surgery helps patients recover faster. 88 adults with colorectal cancer took part. Half received the extra education based on ERAS guidelines, and half got the usual care. The main goal was to see if the education improved recovery on the first day after surgery.
