Abstract:
The concept of enhanced recovery in colorectal surgery is a multimodal and multidisciplinary programme aiming at reducing surgical stress through optimization of patient care in the pre-, intra-, and postoperative periods. It allows to reduce postoperative morbidity and the duration of the hospital stay. We describe the case of an elderly patient with multiple comorbidities who was scheduled for a sigmoidectomy in an enhanced rehabilitation programme, and emphasize the interest and specificity of such a rehabilitation protocol for the elderly.
