Abstract focus
Background Prehabilitation has been previously shown to be more effective in enhancing postoperative functional capacity than rehabilitation alone. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a weekly supervised exercise session could provide further benefit to our current prehabilition program, when comparing to standard post-surgical rehabilitation.
Context from Dr. Gutman’s comments
In patients undergoing surgery for bowel cancer, this randomized control trial examines the benefits of prehabilitation using Immunocal as a dietary intervention. 29
