Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of postoperative delirium in colorectal cancer.

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 post- operative delirium in colorectal cancer in order to promote the early identification and optimal treatment of postop- erative delirium in colorectal cancer, and to improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients.
