Colorectal procedures are any procedure relating to the colon or rectum and can include a wide range of invasiveness. These procedures include hemorrhoidal banding and excision, bile duct reconstruction, colonectomy, hernia surgeries, liver resection, and bariatric surgery.

In both cases, patients may only drink clear liquids the day before surgery and may not eat or drink anything after midnight the day before surgery.
