About this trial

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? What are the implementation barriers for a full-scale randomized controlled trial? Participants will follow a standardized protocol for their care befor, during and after surgery. However, the care after surgery will be conducted at home using telemedicine.
