Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This pilot study enrolls adults scheduled for colorectal resection and follows them for 30 days after surgery to compare a normal diet with a historical, low-fiber diet. The study collects data on safety, surgical complications, 30-day readmissions, anxiety, and quality of life, plus healthcare resource use. Researchers will analyze whether a regular diet after surgery is safe and how it relates to patient well-being and care needs. Outcomes include morbidity, readmissions, patient-reported experiences, and interactions with the care team. The study uses a historical cohort as a comparator to assess differences in practices and outcomes.
