Abstract:

A common complication after colorectal cancer surgery is delirium, which has a high incidence and remains challenging to treat and prevent. At present, there are fewer reports on postoperative delirium in colorectal cancer at home and abroad, and more in-depth diagnostic and treatment research is needed. In this article, we review the clinical features, pathogenesis, assessment tools, treatment and prevention methods of postoperative delirium in colorectal cancer in order to promote the early identification and optimal treatment of postoperative delirium in colorectal cancer, and to improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients.

Key words: colorectal cancer, postoperative delirium, pathogenesis, assessment tools, treatment
