Prehabilitation results in ‘significantly lower’ complications after CRC resection (Healio)

Key takeaways:

• A 4-week, in-hospital program of exercise, nutritional intervention and psychological support resulted in fewer postoperative complications.
• Prehabilitation also improved functional recovery.

Multimodal prehabilitation reduced the incidence of severe postoperative complications and enhanced functional recovery among patients who underwent elective resection of non-metastasized colorectal cancer, according to data.
