In the researchers’ words
The goal of this feasibility study is to investigate whether a virtual Hospital at Home is safe and possible for patients undergoing planned minimally invasive colorectal surgery. The study aims to answer the following main questions: What are the patient- and next-of-kin-related effects, as well as the clinical and organizational effects, of home-based admission?
