What is already known:
Preoperative education or counselling has always been an important part of a comprehensive ERAS programme. It makes a lot of sense to do it but there is limited good quality evidence for its inclusion.
What this paper adds:
This is the first randomized clinical trial comparing normal and extended counselling within an ERAS programme for colorectal surgery. The group with extended counselling had a higher level of adherence to the elements which resulted in a 2 day reduction in length of stay. A simple but important study highlighting the importance of a good preoperative educational programme.
