Randomized clinical trial of multimodal optimization and standard perioperative surgical care

Multimodal optimization of surgical care has been associated with reduced hospital stay and improved physical function. The aim of this randomized trial was to compare multimodal optimization with standard care in patients undergoing colonic resection.
