Abstract
Purpose: To synthesize the best available evidence on early mobilization following radical surgery for colorectal cancer, both domestically and internationally, with the aim of providing evidence-based guidance for clinical healthcare providers.
Methods: We conducted a literature search using the “6S” evidence model to identify studies on early mobilization following colorectal cancer surgery. Given the limited number of studies exclusively focusing on laparoscopic approaches, we included evidence from broader elective colorectal surgery populations to provide comprehensive guidance. We searched relevant domestic and international websites, evidence-based databases, association websites, and primary literature databases via a computerized system. The search period spanned from the inception of each database to December 19, 2025. Two researchers independently assessed the quality of the literature using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) quality assessment tool, and conducted evidence extraction and synthesis for the included studies.
Results: A total of 19 studies were ultimately included, comprising 4 guidelines, 6 expert consensus documents, 3 systematic reviews, 1 evidence summary, and 5 randomized controlled trials. A total of 23 pieces of evidence were identified across five areas: core principles, preoperative preparation, key elements of activity management, postoperative activity protocols, and activity support.
Conclusion: This study synthesizes the best available evidence regarding early mobilization following laparoscopic radical resection for colorectal cancer. It recommends that nursing staff tailor their approach to individual patients based on clinical circumstances and patient preferences to promote postoperative recovery and enhance the quality of clinical care.
