Abstract
Although there have been meta-analyses of the effects of exercise-only prehabilitation
on patients undergoing colorectal surgery, little is known about the effects of nutrition-only
(oral nutritional supplements with and without counseling) and multimodal (oral nutritional
supplements with and without counseling and with exercise) prehabilitation on clinical
outcomes and patient function after surgery. We performed a systemic review and meta-analysis
to determine the individual and combined effects of nutrition-only and multimodal
prehabilitation compared with no prehabilitation (control) on outcomes of patients
undergoing colorectal resection.
