First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This pilot study is testing whether letting people eat their regular diet right after colon surgery is safe and can improve their quality of life. Ten adults scheduled for colon removal will be followed for 30 days. The goal is to see if simplifying diet advice is feasible and doesn't lead to more hospital readmissions or complications.
