First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether having a nurse coordinator (NEC) helps patients follow the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program after colorectal surgery. Over 200 patients from multiple hospitals took part, with one group having the nurse and the other not. The goal was to see if the nurse improved how well patients stuck to the recovery plan and their quality of life.
