What is the expected postoperative recovery after colorectal cancer surgery?

- Patients are likely to stay in hospital for 3 to 5 days.
- Oral liquids are started immediately after the operation.
- Solid diet is usually started a day later.
- Once the patient passed stools, discharge to home can be done.

- We like to mobilise the patient immediately after surgery and have physiotherapists in hospitals to help with this.
