 After approval from St Josephs IRB and SUNY Upstates IRB, elective laparoscopic colectomy patients will be identified by the participating surgeons. At the time of preoperative instructions, a letter will be given or sent to the identified patient explaining the study Appendix C. The day of pre-admission testing, the patient will be contacted by a study team member to review the study and will be asked to participate. If they agree, consent will be signed and the subjects will be assigned a number to ensure confidentiality.
