Abstract

S A T A b st ra ct s recovery was significantly associated with a reduction in the development of pneumonia following elective surgery for colon cancer (p=0.028), but was not associated with a significant difference in the systemic inflammatory response following on postoperative days 1 to 5. CONCLUSION Enhanced recovery was associated with a significant reduction in length of hospital stay. In contrast, the post-operative systemic inflammatory response was similar in the conventional care and enhanced recovery groups. Overall complication rates, both infective and non-infective, were also similar. Enhanced recovery does not appear to be associated with a reduction in the postoperative systemic inflammatory response or overall infective complications.
