Early mobilization is considered as an important strategy to enhance postoperative recovery. However, direct association between very early mobilization and improved recovery needs randomized control trials to prove. This study proposes the program of walking out from operating room (WOFOR) after surgery, which means that encouraging patients to walk out from the operating room and return to the ward by walking under the condition of painlessness, clear consciousness and normal muscle strength of lower limb. The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effect of WOFOR on the postoperative recovery of patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
