Defining and Achieving High-Quality Colon Cancer Surgery

Abstract:
There have been extensive efforts to improve the quality of colon cancer surgery to reduce variation in practice and improve outcomes. Providing the most appropriate care begins with following guidelines for preoperative diagnostics and staging, which should lead to risk stratification, high-quality counselling, and even prehabilitation before an operation. Intraoperatively, adherence to standardized surgical protocols can enhance delivery of high-quality care, and documenting using synoptic formats can reduce ambiguity. Participating in programs that track data and provide feedback can further allow hospitals and surgeons to identify patterns and opportunities to improve the care they deliver.
