What the study is about

This is an observational study to look at the impact of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery system for colorectal surgery (Group 1) in shortening hospital length of stay, reducing postoperative narcotic consumption, lowering Visual Analog Scale scores, decreasing the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and reducing 30-day readmission when compared to patients who had colorectal surgery performed at UAMS prior to the implementation of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery system (Group 2).

This is a retrospective study using de-identified records and therefore will not require subject enrollment and is NOT Human Subjects Research.

Being studied: Enhanced Recovery protocol

Conditions: ColoRectal Cancer and Inflammatory Bowel Disease
