Abstract

Fast track surgery is a specific perioperative procedure. Its aim is to reduce the number of complications, to improve the comfort and satisfaction of treated patients and to shorten the time of their hospital stay. In this paper we present randomized clinical trials relating to fast track surgery including patients after colorectal resection.

Keywords: colorectal resection; fast track; surgery.
