Summary

The purpose of this study is to address the question of whether or not oral alimentation and ambulation exercise should be begun early in patients following laparoscopic colorectal surgery compared to the classical diet and ambulation which depends on reappearance of functional intestinal transit. Early oral alimentation following laparoscopic colorectal surgery may decrease hospital stay and facilitate earlier discharge with comparable postoperative morbidity.

Eligibility Criteria

  • • Patients between 20 - 80 years old
  • Class ASA (American Society of Anesthesiology) I, II or III, +/- E
  • Patient willing to participate in the study

Exclusion Criteria

  • • Class ASA IV or V patient
  • Documented problem of gastro-intestinal motility
