Abstract
Recent psychosocial advances in colorectal surgery have greatly reduced hospital stay and anxiety and improved postsurgical recovery. The advances have put together education, preoperative care, postoperative care, pain control, mobility, and postsurgical attitude education. This chapter addresses the psychosocial aspects of colorectal surgery care to optimize the experience and healing of patients.
