Why still in hospital after laparoscopic colorectal surgery within an enhanced recovery programme?

Enhanced recovery after surgery programmes in elective colorectal surgery have been developed and implemented widely, but a subgroup of patients may still require longer hospital stays than expected. The aim of this study was to identify and describe factors compromising early postoperative recovery by asking ‘why is the patient still in hospital today?’ after laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery within an enhanced recovery after surgery programme.
