| description | <b>Background and Clinical Significance:</b> 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. <b>Case Presentation:</b> 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. <b>Conclusions:</b> 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. |
