Optimizing short stay surgery for colorectal patients
Day Case Colectomy: Optimizing Short Stay-surgery.
This study tests how laparoscopic colorectal surgery affects heart rate changes in patients to see if it can help improve recovery and reduce complications.

What this trial studies
This study focuses on patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal resection, where heart rate variability (HRV) parameters are measured before and after the surgery. The aim is to evaluate how the surgery and any associated complications affect these HRV parameters, particularly looking for relationships with adverse effects. By monitoring these physiological changes, the study seeks to optimize recovery and minimize complications in short stay surgical settings.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients scheduled for colorectal resection for any pathology.
Not a fit: Patients with arrhythmias that may interfere with HRV measurements will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance recovery protocols for colorectal surgery patients, leading to improved outcomes and reduced hospital stays.
How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on HRV in surgical recovery, this specific approach focusing on short stay surgery is relatively novel.
