Multimodal prehabilitation Program: A tailored intervention will be prescribed if specific physical, nutritional or psychological impairments will be identified during the assessment phase. Based on the data obtained during the multimodal assessment, different domains and levels of care will be prescribed, focusing on exercise training, and/or nutrition optimization, and/or distress-coping techniques. Different combinations of three domains will be utilized to maximize their synergistic anabolic effect. The duration of program will be set at 4 weeks. All activities will be performed in dedicated suites at each site, under supervision of qualified health professionals.
The importance of postoperative rehabilitation on physical performance and recovery is well-recognized. However, the preoperative period constitutes a unique opportunity to address comorbidities and modifiable risk factors, improve functional capacity and address deficiencies in physiologic reserve, which might otherwise preclude surgery or significantly impede recovery.
Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a multimodal program of prehabilitation in patients undergoing major oncological gastrointestinal surgery. The hypothesis is that severe post-operative complications within 30 days will be reduced in the treatment group compared to the control group.
