Core Tip This retrospective study demonstrates that systematic early activity intervention following colorectal cancer surgery significantly accelerates intestinal motility recovery (19.3 hours faster first flatus) while reducing complications by 62.5%. The protocol progresses from passive bed exercises within 6 hours to walking after 48 hours post-surgery. Beyond physiological improvements, early mobilization enhanced pain management, improved enteral nutrition tolerance (90.0% vs 72.5%), and reduced nursing workload by 18.6%. The intervention also improved patient psychological well-being and sleep quality. As a non-pharmacological, cost-effective intervention easily implementable within existing enhanced recovery after surgery protocols, early activity intervention represents an evidence-based approach suitable for routine clinical adoption in colorectal cancer surgery recovery.
