Integrating Telerehabilitation into the Prehabilitation and Rehabilitation Pathway in Colorectal Cancer: A Case Series.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a global health challenge with significant postoperative complications and functional declines. Telerehabilitation offers an accessible alternative to improve preoperative physical condition and postoperative recovery. Five CRC patients scheduled for laparoscopic surgery participated in an asynchronous telerehabilitation multimodal program, including two weeks of prehabilitation and four weeks of postoperative rehabilitation. Delivered via a digital platform with remote physiotherapist support, the intervention improved functional capacity and muscle strength preoperatively, with partial recovery noted post-surgery. Integrating telerehabilitation into the CRC surgical pathway is feasible and may enhance functional outcomes and quality of life. Further studies are required to confirm these preliminary findings.
