Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative management methods that reduce surgery-associated invasiveness and improve the quality of postoperative recovery are being promoted as enhanced recovery after surgery programs in various areas. Early enteral nutrition and mobilization are essential elements for enhanced recovery after surgery; however, their safety and feasibility are unclear in head and neck surgery with free tissue transfer reconstruction. This study aimed to clarify these uncertainties. METHODS This is a retrospective before-after study. From 2018 to 2022, 187 and 173 patients received conventional management on or before April 2020 and early management on or after May 2020, respectively. The conventional management and early management groups received enteral nutrition and mobilization on postoperative days 2 and 1, respectively. The primary outcome for safety assessment was the incidence of complications. The secondary outcome was the compliance rate of conventional management or early management for feasibility assessment and the length of hospital stay. RESULTS The clinical tumour-node-metastasis stage and American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status showed significant differences between the groups. In multivariable analysis, the early management group demonstrated a significantly lower incidence of treatment-required complication classified Clavien-Dindo Grade 2 and above (odds ratio = 0.57; 95% confidence interval = 0.31-0.92) and lower wound infection (odds ratio = 0.53; 95% confidence interval = 0.31-0.92). The early management group had lower compliance rate than the conventional management group; however, no statistically significant difference was observed (79.8% vs. 85.0%, P = 0.21). CONCLUSION Early management is safe and feasible following head and neck surgery with free tissue transfer reconstruction. It could reduce the complication rate and is considered a useful postoperative management method.

Abstract
Many patients undergo small bowel and colon surgery for reasons related to malignancy, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), mesenteric ischemia, and other benign conditions, including post-operative adhesions, hernias, trauma, volvulus, or diverticula. Some patients arrive in the operating theatre severely malnourished due to an underlying disease, while others develop complications (e.g., anastomotic leaks, abscesses, or strictures) that induce a systemic inflammatory response that can increase their energy and protein requirements. Finally, anatomical and functional changes resulting from surgery can affect either nutritional status due to malabsorption or nutritional support (NS) pathways. The dietitian providing NS to these patients needs to understand the pathophysiology underlying these sequelae and collaborate with other professionals, including surgeons, internists, nurses, and pharmacists. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the nutritional and metabolic consequences of different types of lower gastrointestinal surgery and the role of the dietitian in providing comprehensive patient care. This article reviews the effects of small bowel resection on macronutrient and micronutrient absorption, the effects of colectomies (e.g., ileocolectomy, low anterior resection, abdominoperineal resection, and proctocolectomy) that require special dietary considerations, nutritional considerations specific to ostomized patients, and clinical practice guidelines for caregivers of patients who have undergone a surgery for local and systemic complications of IBD. Finally, we highlight the valuable contribution of the dietitian in the challenging management of short bowel syndrome and intestinal failure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intestinal anastomosis is a surgical procedure crucial for restoring the integrity of the digestive system and finds widespread application in addressing diverse gastrointestinal disorders such as tumors, inflammatory conditions, and traumatic injuries. The timing of restarting feeding after the surgery is a debated topic due to its potential impact on patient recovery. Early enteral feeding, administered soon after surgery, aims to counteract the negative effects of prolonged fasting and improve outcomes. OBJECTIVE This study analyzed the early and late enteral feeding following gastrointestinal anastomosis surgery. METHODS Forty patients undergoing abdominal surgery were prospectively randomized into early or late feeding groups. Demographics, laboratory values, operative time, blood loss, transfusion rates, nasogastric tube (NGT) removal, hospital stay, gastrointestinal recovery, postoperative body mass index (BMI), and complications were compared. Data was organized in Excel and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, IBM Corp., Version 27.0, Armonk, NY). Qualitative data were presented with numbers and percentages, while parametric quantitative data used means, standard deviations, and ranges. Non-parametric quantitative data were represented with medians and interquartile ranges. Chi-square tests were used for comparing two qualitative groups with predicted counts less than 5, while independent t-tests and Mann-Whitney tests were employed for comparing two quantitative groups with parametric and non-parametric distributions, respectively. The analysis used a 95% confidence interval, a 5% margin of error, and considered P values less than 0.05 as significant. RESULTS Early feeding was associated with significantly shorter NGT removal times (p=0.005) and hospital stays (p=0.001) than late feeding. Postprandial potassium levels were higher in the early group (p=0.007), while CRP levels were significantly lower (p=0.004). No significant differences were found in operative time, blood loss, transfusion rates, gastrointestinal recovery, postoperative BMI, or complication rates between groups. CONCLUSIONS Early enteral feeding appears safe and effective after gastrointestinal anastomosis surgery, potentially reducing hospital stay and improving inflammatory markers without increasing adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery protocols are becoming standard practice after major colorectal surgery. An increasing body of evidence suggests that early feeding should be encouraged; however, whether a clear liquid diet or solid diet should be given immediately after surgery is undetermined. OBJECTIVE Evaluate whether regular diet was superior to clear liquid diet beginning on postoperative day 0 after major colorectal surgery. DESIGN Superiority trial design. SETTING Urban tertiary center. PATIENTS Consecutive patients undergoing abdominal colorectal surgery from September 2017 to June 2018. INTERVENTIONS Eligible patients received either 1) clear liquid diet on postoperative day 0 with advancement to regular diet on postoperative day 1 or 2) regular diet on postoperative day 0 and continuing for the duration of patients' recovery. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary end point was diet tolerance, defined by the absence of vomiting by postoperative day 2. RESULTS A total of 105 patients were randomly assigned with 53 in the clear liquid diet group and 52 in the regular diet group. All randomly assigned patients were included in the analysis. The rate of diet tolerance by postoperative day 2 was similar between groups. Rates of ileus, antiemetic usage, narcotic usage, time to return of bowel function, and pain/nausea/bloating scores were similar between the 2 groups. Significantly more patients in the clear liquid diet group (91%) tolerated their diet than did the regular diet group (71%) on postoperative day 0 ( p = 0.01). LIMITATIONS Diet tolerance was only monitored during inpatient stay. The rate of postoperative ileus was difficult to capture as its clinical definition encompassed a wide range of symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Regular diet immediately after abdominal colorectal surgery was not superior to a clear liquid diet with respect to diet tolerance by postoperative day 2. Furthermore, starting regular diet on postoperative day 0 was not associated with any outcome benefits compared to clear liquid diet.

La creciente evidencia sugiere la alimentación temprana debe ser estimulada, sin embargo, no se ha determinado si se debe administrar una dieta de líquidos claros o una dieta sólida inmediatamente después de la cirugía.OBJETIVO:Evaluar si la dieta regular fue superior a la dieta de líquidos claros a partir del día cero del postoperatorio tras una cirugía mayor colorrectal.DISEÑO:Diseño de prueba de superioridad.AJUSTE:Centro terciario urbano.PACIENTES:Pacientes consecutivos sometidos a cirugía abdominal colorrectal desde septiembre de 2017 hasta junio de 2018INTERVENCIONES:Los pacientes elegibles recibieron ya sea 1) dieta de líquidos claros en el día 0 del postoperatorio con avance a la dieta regular en el día 1 del postoperatorio o 2) dieta regular en el día 0 del postoperatorio y continuaron durante la recuperación de los pacientes.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:El criterio principal de valoración fue la tolerancia a la dieta, definida por la ausencia de vómitos en el segundo día posoperatorio.RESULTADOS:Un total de 105 pacientes fueron aleatorizados con 53 en el grupo de dieta de líquidos claros y 52 en el grupo de dieta regular. Todos los pacientes aleatorizados fueron incluidos en el análisis. La tasa de tolerancia a la dieta en el segundo día postoperatorio fue similar entre los grupos. Las tasas de íleo, del uso de antieméticos, del uso de narcóticos, del tiempo de recuperación de la función intestinal y puntajes de dolor/náuseas/distensión abdominal fueron similares entre los dos grupos. Significativamente más pacientes en el grupo de dieta de líquidos claros (91%) toleraron su dieta comparada al grupo de dieta regular (71%) en el día postoperatorio 0 ( p = 0,01).LIMITACIONES:La tolerancia a la dieta solo fue monitorizada durante la estadía hospitalaria. La tasa de íleo postoperatorio fue difícil de registrar debido a que su definición clínica abarcaba una amplia variedad de síntomas.CONCLUSIONES:La dieta regular inmediatamente después de la cirugía abdominal colorrectal no fue superior a una dieta de líquidos claros con respecto a la tolerancia de la dieta en el día 2 del postoperatorio. Además, comenzar una dieta regular el día cero del postoperatorio no se asoció con ningún beneficio en los resultados en comparación con la dieta de líquidos claros. (Traducción-Dr. Osvaldo Gauto ).

Abstract
The anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) procedure involves several surgical specialties, including general, vascular, and spinal surgery due to its unique approach and anatomy involved. It also carries its own set of complications that differentiate it from posterior lumbar fusion surgeries. The demonstrated benefits of treatment guidelines, such as Enhanced Recovery after Surgery in other surgical procedures, and the lack of current recommendations regarding the anterior approach, underscores the need to develop protocols that specifically address the complexities of ALIF. We aimed to create an evidence-based protocol for pre-, intra-, and postoperative care of ALIF patients and implementation strategies for our health system. A 12-member multidisciplinary workgroup convened to develop an evidence-based treatment protocol for ALIF using a Delphi consensus methodology and the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system for rating the quality of evidence and strength of protocol recommendations. The quality of evidence, strength of the recommendation and specific implementation strategies for Methodist Health System for each recommendation were described. The literature search resulted in 295 articles that were included in the development of protocol recommendations. No disagreements remained once the authors reviewed the final GRADE assessment of the quality of evidence and strength of the recommendations. Ultimately, there were 39 protocol recommendations, with 16 appropriate preoperative protocol recommendations (out of 17 proposed), 9 appropriate intraoperative recommendations, and 14 appropriate postoperative recommendations. This novel set of evidence-based recommendations is designed to optimize the patient's ALIF experience from the preoperative to the postoperative period.

Benefits of Early Enteral Feeding with a Locally Prepared Protein-Energy Ration after Surgery for Acute Generalised Peritonitis: A Randomised Trial in Two Hospitals in Bukavu, Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Gastroenterol Res Pract 2023; 2023:1764242. [PMID: 38024526 PMCID: PMC10673662 DOI: 10.1155/2023/1764242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 10/15/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Acute generalised peritonitis (AGP) is a common and serious digestive surgery pathology. Undernutrition exacerbates patient condition and compromises their postoperative prognosis. Early enteral nutrition is recommended to reduce postoperative complications, but its availability and cost are problematic in low-income countries. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of providing early enteral feeding (EEF) to postoperative patients with intestinal perforation AGP using a locally prepared protein-energy food ration in two hospitals in Bukavu, a city of South Kivu, in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Methods A prospective, randomised controlled trial with two groups of patients was conducted to investigate the effects of EEF with a local mixture versus enteral feeding after peristalsis had returned (control group) in patients who underwent laparotomy for AGP caused by ileal perforation. The local mixture consisted of soybean, maize, white rice, and pineapple. The trial included 66 patients with ileal perforation peritonitis. Results The results comparing early enteral fed and nonfed patients showed significant differences in peristalsis recovery time (2.1 (0.6) days vs. 3.8 (1.2) days, p < 0.0001) and length of hospital stay (25.5 (14.9) days vs. 39.4 (25.3) days, p = 0.0046). Bivariate analyses indicated a significant early enteral feeding (EEF) reduced of 9.1% (vs. 36.4%, p = 0.0082) in parietal infections and 3.4% (28.1%, p = 0.009) in fistulas (p = 0.009) when EEF was included. In addition, EEF significantly reduced reintervention rates by 9.1% (p = 0.0003) and eliminated evisceration rates. EEF was also shown to reduce the incidence of malnutrition by 63.6% (p < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis showed that enteral nutrition significantly reduced the time to recovery of peristalsis (p = 0.0278) with an ORa of 0.3 and a 95% CI of 0.1-0.9. Moreover, EEF reduced malnutrition (p = 0.0039) with an ORa of 0.1 and a 95% CI of 0-0.4. Conclusion EEF with locally sourced protein-energy rations can enhance a patient's nutritional status and facilitate postoperative recovery. This procedure is advantageous and involved early enteral nutrition using locally manufactured rations, especially for those operated on for acute generalised peritonitis in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Abstract
Advancements in perioperative care have improved postoperative morbidity and recovery after esophagectomy. The direct start of oral intake can also enhance short-term outcomes following minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (MIE-IL). Subsequently, short-term outcomes may affect long-term survival. This planned sub-study of the NUTRIENT II trial, a multicenter randomized controlled trial, investigated the long-term survival of direct versus delayed oral feeding following MIE-IL. The outcomes included 3- and 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS), and the influence of complications and caloric intake on OS. After excluding cases of 90-day mortality, 145 participants were analyzed. Of these, 63 patients (43.4%) received direct oral feeding. At 3 years, OS was significantly better in the direct oral feeding group (p = 0.027), but not at 5 years (p = 0.115). Moreover, 5-year DFS was significantly better in the direct oral feeding group (p = 0.047) and a trend towards improved DFS was shown at 3 years (p = 0.079). Postoperative complications and caloric intake on day 5 did not impact OS. The results of this study show a tendency of improved 3-year OS and 5-year DFS, suggesting a potential long-term survival benefit in patients receiving direct oral feeding after esophagectomy. However, the findings should be further explored in larger future trials.

Abstract
Malnutrition in visceral surgery is frequent; it calls for screening prior to an operation, and its postoperative occurrence should be sought out and prevented, if possible. Organization of an individualized nutritional support strategy is based on systematic nutritional assessment and adapted to the type of surgery, the objectives being to forestall malnutrition and to reduce induced morbidity (immunosuppression, delayed wound healing, anastomotic fistulas…). Nutritional support is part and parcel of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), and has shown effectiveness in the field of visceral surgery. Oral feeding should always be privileged to the greatest possible extent, complemented if necessary by nutritional supplements. If nutritional support is required, enteral nutrition should be favored over parenteral nutrition. As for the role of pharmaco-nutrition or immuno-nutrition, it remains ill-defined. Lastly, each type of visceral surgery entails specific modifications of the anatomy of the digestive system and is liable to have specific functional consequences, which should be known and taken into account in view of effectively tailoring nutritional support.

Jayakumar TK, Rathod KJ, Eradi B, Sinha A. Outcomes of Early Oral Feeding Compared to Delayed Feeding in Children after Elective Distal Bowel Anastomosis. J Indian Assoc Pediatr Surg 2023; 28:392-396. [PMID: 37842224 PMCID: PMC10569283 DOI: 10.4103/jiaps.jiaps_19_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Conventionally, oral feeds after distal bowel anastomosis surgery (ileostomy/colostomy closure) are delayed until after bowel peristalsis is established. The safety of an early feeding regimen is not established in children. This study compared early feeding regimens with delayed feeding in children undergoing elective intestinal anastomosis surgeries. Materials and Methods In this retrospective multicentric cohort study, children undergoing elective distal bowel anastomosis surgery were divided into Group A (oral feeds allowed within 6 h) and Group B (delayed feeds). The two groups were compared for the incidence of abdomen distension, vomiting, surgical site infection, duration of analgesia, length of hospital stay, and readmission rate. Results During the study, 58 patients were included: Group A (n = 26) and Group B (n = 32). The duration of analgesia (1.9 vs. 4.01 days) and length of hospital stay (3.38 vs. 5.0 days) were significantly less in Group A. Abdominal distension (7.7% vs. 15.6%), vomiting (11.5% vs. 15.6%), surgical site infection rate (3.8% vs. 12.5%), and readmissions (0% vs. 3.1%) were less in Group A, but statistically not significant. Conclusion Early feeding after the elective restoration of distal bowel continuity can be safely practiced in the pediatric population. It is associated with a reduced need for analgesia and shorter hospital stay.

Early vs delayed enteral nutrition or parenteral nutrition in hospitalized patients: An umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized trials. Nutr Clin Pract 2023; 38:564-579.

Abstract
We conducted an umbrella review to summarize the existing evidence on the effect of early enteral nutrition (EEN) compared with other approaches, including delayed enteral nutrition (DEN), parenteral nutrition (PN), and oral feeding (OF) on clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients. We performed a systematic search up to December 2021, in MEDLINE (via PubMed), Scopus, and Institute for Scientific Information Web of Science. We included systematic reviews with meta-analyses (SRMAs) of randomized trials investigating EEN compared with DEN, PN, or OF for any clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients. We used "A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews" (AMSTAR2) and the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for assessing the methodological quality of the systematic reviews and their included trial, respectively. The certainty of the evidence was rated using the "Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation" (GRADE) approach. We included 45 eligible SRMAs contributing with a total of 103 randomized controlled trials. The overall meta-analyses showed that patients who received EEN had statistically significant beneficial effects on most outcomes compared with any control (ie, DEN, PN, or OF), including mortality, sepsis, overall complications, infection complications, multiorgan failure, anastomotic leakage, length of hospital stay, time to flatus, and serum albumin levels. No statistically significant beneficial effects were found for risk of pneumonia, noninfectious complications, vomiting, wound infection, as well as number of days of ventilation, intensive care unit days, serum protein, and pre-serum albumin levels. Our results indicate that EEN may be preferred over DEN, PN, and OF because of the beneficial effects on many clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of early oral feeding (EOF) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) combined with "non-tube no fasting"-enhanced recovery after minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE). METHODS This retrospective study investigated patients who underwent nCT combined with non-tube no fasting-enhanced recovery after MIE in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Ward I, of the authors' hospital from January 2014 to August 2017. These patients were divided into an early oral feeding (EOF) group (n = 112) and a late oral feeding (LOF) group (n = 69). The postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The study enrolled 181 patients (112 patients in the EOF group and 69 patients in the LOF group). No significant differences were found between the two groups in the incidence rates of complications such as anastomotic leakage (P = 0.961), pneumonia (P = 0.450), respiratory failure (P = 0.944), heart failure (P = 1.000), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (P = 0.856), and unplanned reoperation (P = 0.440), whereas the time to the first postoperative flatus/bowel movement (P < 0.001) and the postoperative length of stay (P < 0.001) were significantly better in the EOF group than in the LOF group.. CONCLUSIONS In this study, EOF after nCT combined with non-tube no fasting-enhanced recovery after MIE did not significantly increase complications, but significantly shortened the time to the first postoperative flatus/bowel movement and the postoperative length of stay.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate enteral nutrition as a component of postoperative rehabilitation after reconstructive esophageal and gastric surgeries. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 217 patients who underwent reconstructive esophageal and gastric surgeries between 2010 and 2020. In the main group (n=121), patients underwent postoperative enhanced recovery program (ERAS). Early enteral feeding including micro-jejunostomy and early oral feeding was essential for postoperative management. The control group included 96 patients who were treated in traditional fashion. The primary endpoint was length of hospital-stay (LOS) and ICU-stay. Restoration of gastrointestinal function (peristalsis, stool, oral nutrition), anastomotic leakage rate and other complications comprised secondary endpoints. RESULTS Both groups did not differ by sex, age, body mass index, diagnosis and comorbidities. There was significant reduction in postoperative LOS in the ERAS group (14 (12; 15.8) and 9 (6.3; 12) days, p<0.0001). In the same group, we observed less in ICU-stay (4.7 (3.6; 5.6) and to 3.5 (2; 4) days, p<0.001), earlier recovery of peristalsis and X-ray control of anastomosis in patients with and without anastomotic leakage. Incidence of respiratory complications was lower in the ERAS group (p=0.034). Overall postoperative morbidity and mortality were similar. CONCLUSION Early enteral and oral feeding after esophageal and gastric reconstructive surgery reduces hospital-stay and accelerates postoperative rehabilitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multimodal approach that streamlines patient processes before, during, and after surgery. The goal is to reduce surgical stress responses and improve outcomes; however, the impact of ERAS programmes in paediatric abdominal surgery remains unclear. The authors aimed to review the effectiveness of ERAS on clinical outcomes in children undergoing abdominal surgery. METHOD CINAHL, CENTRAL, Embase, ProQuest, PubMed, and Scopus were searched for relevant studies published from inception until January 2021. The length of hospital stay (LOS), time to oral intake, time to stool, complication rates, and 30-day readmissions were measured. Meta-analyses and subgroup analyses were conducted using RevMan 5.4 with a random-effects model. RESULTS Among 2371 records from the initial search, 111 articles were retrieved for full-text screening and 12 were included for analyses. The pooled mean difference (MD) demonstrated reduced LOS (MD -1.96; 95 per cent c.i. -2.75 to -1.17), time to oral intake (MD -3.37; 95 per cent c.i. -4.84 to -1.89), and time to stool (MD -4.19; 95 per cent c.i. -6.37 to -2.02). ERAS reduced postoperative complications by half and 30-day readmission by 36 per cent. Subgroup analyses for continuous outcomes suggested that ERAS was more effective in children than adolescents. CONCLUSION ERAS was effective in improving clinical outcomes for paediatric patients undergoing abdominal surgery.

Abstract
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs have been developed by combining several evidence-based techniques for perioperative care, with the intention of reducing the stress response and organ dysfunction, thus allowing improved clinical results. ERAS programs have been widely adopted for colorectal surgery; however, their adoption for upper gastrointestinal surgery has been challenging even though good results have been reported in the literature. Our intent was to investigate the adoption of ERAS programs for resective gastric surgery in Italy. A survey was conducted among 20 departments of surgery belonging to the Italian Group for Research on Gastric Cancer (GC). Analysis of our survey showed that several evidence-based practices and many items of the ERAS guidelines for gastric surgery are not implemented in real practice in Italian centers dedicated to GC. This situation may be related to the hesitation of surgeons to introduce radical changes to the traditional postoperative management after gastrectomy. A multidisciplinary approach to the perioperative care of these patients is not routinely applied in many Italian centers. A strict collaboration of all clinicians involved in the perioperative care of patients undergoing gastrectomy for GC is key for the future implementation of ERAS in gastric surgery in our departments.

Abstract
The effects of long-term fasting on the prognosis and hospital economy of hospitalised patient have not been established. To clarify the effects of long-term fasting on the prognosis and hospital economy of hospitalised patients, we conducted a prospective observational study on the length of hospital stay of patients hospitalised at thrity-one private university hospitals in Japan. We conducted a prospective observational study on the effects of fasting period length on the length of hospital stay and outcome of patients hospitalised for 3 months in those hospitals. Of the 14 172 cases of hospitalised patients during the target period on the reference day, 770 cases (median 71 years old) were eligible to fast for the study. The length of hospital stay for fasting patients was 33 (4-387) days, which was about 2·4 times longer than the average length of hospital stay for all patients. A comparative study showed the length of hospital stay was significantly longer in the long-term-fasting (fasting period > 10 d; n 386) group than in the medium-term-fasting (< 10 d; n 384) group (median 21 v. 50; P < 0·0001). Although the discharge to home rate was significantly higher in the medium-term-fasting group (71·4 % v. 36·5 %; P < 0·0001), the mortality rate was significantly higher in the long-term fasting group (10·8 % v. 25·8 %; P < 0·0001). It was verified that the longer the fasting period during hospitalisation, the longer the length of hospital stay and lower home discharge rate, thus indicating that patient quality of life and hospital economy may be seriously dameged.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is an increasingly recognised condition of loss of muscle mass and function. The European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People 2 (EWSOP2) updated their definition in 2018, emphasising the importance of low muscle strength in diagnosis. Acute sarcopenia has been arbitrarily defined as sarcopenia lasting less than 6 months. This review highlights the pathophysiology involved in muscle wasting following surgery, focussing on hormonal factors, inflammation, microRNAs, and oxidative stress. Biomarkers such as GDF-15, IGF-1 and various microRNAs may predict post-surgical muscle loss. The impact of existing sarcopenia on various types of surgery and incident muscle wasting following surgery is also described. The gaps in research found include the need for longitudinal studies looking in changes in muscle strength and quantity following surgery. Further work is needed to examine if biomarkers are replicated in other surgery to consolidate existing theories on the pathophysiology of muscle wasting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study evaluates the effect of preoperative macrogol on gastrointestinal recovery and functional recovery after liver surgery combined with an enhanced recovery programme in a randomized controlled setting. METHODS Patients were randomized to either 1 sachet of macrogol a day, one week prior to surgery versus no preoperative laxatives. Postoperative management for all patients was within an enhanced recovery programme. The primary outcome was recovery of gastrointestinal function, defined as Time to First Defecation. Secondary outcomes included Time to Functional Recovery. RESULTS Between August 2012 and September 2016, 82 patients planned for liver resection were included in the study, 39 in the intervention group and 43 in the control group. Median Time to First Defecation was 4.0 days in the intervention group (IQR 2.8-5.0) and 4.0 days in the control group (IQR 2.9-5.0), P = 0.487. Median Time to Functional Recovery was day 6 (IQR 4.0-8.0) in the intervention group and day 5 (IQR 4.0-7.5) in the control group, P = 0.752. No significant differences were seen in complication rate, reinterventions or mortality. CONCLUSION This randomized controlled trial showed no advantages of 1 sachet of macrogol preoperatively combined with an enhanced recovery programme, for patients undergoing liver surgery.

Abstract
Background Feeding jejunostomy was routinely placed during esophagectomy to ensure postoperative enteral feeding. Improved anastomosis technique and early oral feeding strategy after esophagectomy has led to question the need for the routine placement of feeding jejunostomy. The aim of this study is to evaluate role of feeding jejunostomy during Ivor Lewis operation.
Methods We retrospectively reviewed 414 patients who underwent the Ivor Lewis operations from January 2015 to December 2018. Results 61 patients (14.7%) received jejunostomy insertion. The most common indication for jejunostomy was neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT). 48 patients (79%) had jejunostomy removed within 60 days after the surgery and the longest duration of jejunostomy inserted state was 121 days. About two-third of the patients with jejunostomy had never prescribed with an enteral feeding product. Among 353 patients without intraoperative feeding jejunostomy, 11(3.1%) received delayed jejunostomy insertion. Graft-related problems (6 patients), cancer progression (3 patients), acute lung injury (1 patient), and swallowing difficulty (1 patient) were reasons for delayed feeding jejunostomy insertion. Complication rate was relatively high as 24 patients (33.3%) out of 72 patients with jejunostomy insertion had complications and 7 patients (9.7%) visited ER more than twice with jejunostomy-related complications. Conclusion Only 3.6% patients who underwent the Ivor Lewis operation during 4-year span had anastomosis leakage. Although one-third of the patients with jejunostomy were benefited with alternative method of feeding after discharge, high complication rate regarding jejunostomy should be also considered. We believe feeding jejunostomy should not be applied routinely with prophylactic measures and should be reserved to very carefully selected patients with multiple high-risk factors.

The effect of early oral postoperative feeding on the recovery of intestinal motility after gastrointestinal surgery: Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0273085. [PMID: 35980900 PMCID: PMC9387793 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0273085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2021] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Given the ever-shorter length of hospital stay after surgical procedures, nowadays it is more important than ever to study interventions that may have an impact on surgical patients’ wellbeing. According to the ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocols) program, early feeding must be considered one of the key components to facilitate early recovery while improving outcomes and patients’ overall experiences. To date, the international literature has reported that early postoperative feeding compared with traditional (or late) timing is safe; nevertheless, small clinical outcomes effects has been reported, also for recovery of gastrointestinal function. Therefore, the effectiveness of early postoperative feeding to reduce postoperative ileus duration remains still debated. Objective To analyse the effects of early versus delayed oral feeding (liquids and food) on the recovery of intestinal motility after gastrointestinal surgery. Search methods Pubmed, Embase, Cinahl, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and the ClincalTrials.gov register will be searched to identify the RCTs of interest. Study inclusion Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing the effect of early postoperative versus late oral feeding on major postoperative outcomes after gastrointestinal surgery will be included. Data collection and analysis Two review authors will independently screen titles and abstracts to determine the initially selected studies’ inclusion. Any disagreements will be resolved through discussion and consulting a third review author. The research team members will then proceed with the methodological evaluation of the studies and their eligibility for inclusion in the systematic review.

Abstract
PURPOSE Feeding a ventral hernia repair (VHR) patient before the return of bowel function (ROBF) can lead to distention and emesis. Many patients spontaneously diurese after surgery. We hypothesized that this auto-diuresis would signal ROBF. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 395 patients who underwent open, laparoscopic, or mixed VHR were evaluated for correlation between fluid status and ROBF or discharge. ROBF within 24 hours and discharge within 24 hours or 48 hours were used as outcome measures. RESULTS Patients remained an average 3.59 days after surgery in the hospital and the average ROBF was on day 2.99. The first shift of ≥700 mL of urine predicted ROBF (P=0.03) and discharge (P=0.04) within 24 hours. The first shift output of ≥500 mL predicted discharge within 48 hours (P=0.02). CONCLUSION Auto-diuresis after surgery is correlated to ROBF and discharge. Accurate fluid measurement can predict bowel function and allow early diet and discharge.

Abstract
Children who require surgical interventions are subject to physiologic stress, necessitating a period of healing when nutrition needs may temporarily change. Providing appropriate nutrition to children before and after surgery is an important part of minimizing surgical morbidity. There is a clear link between poor nutrition and surgical outcomes, therefore providing good reason for ensuring an appropriate nutrition plan is in place for children requiring surgery. This review will address recent research investigating nutrition considerations for pediatric surgical patients with a focus on practical tools to guide decision making in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods.

Abstract
Background and study aims Endoscopic methods of delivering uninterrupted feeding to the jejunum include direct percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy (DPEJ) or PEG with jejunal extension (PEG-J), validated from small individual studies. We aim to perform a meta-analysis to assess their effectiveness and safety in a variety of clinical scenarios. Methods Major databases were searched until June 2021. Efficacy outcomes included technical and clinical success, while safety outcomes included adverse events (AEs) and malfunction rates. We assessed heterogeneity using I 2 and classic fail-safe to assess bias. Results 29 studies included 1874 patients (983 males and 809 females); mean age of 60 ± 19 years. Pooled technical and clinical success rates with DPEJ were 86.6 % (CI, 82.1-90.1, I 2 73.1) and 96.9 % (CI, 95.0-98.0, I 2 12.7). The pooled incidence of malfunction, major and minor AEs with DPEJ were 11 %, 5 %, and 15 %. Pooled technical and clinical success for PEG-J were 94.4 % (CI, 85.5-97.9, I 2 33) and 98.7 % (CI, 95.5-99.6, I 2 < 0.001). The pooled incidence of malfunction, major and minor AEs with DPEJ were 24 %, 1 %, and 25 %. Device-assisted DPEJ performed better in altered gastrointestinal anatomy. First and second attempts were 87.6 % and 90.2 %. Conclusions DPEJ and PEG-J are safe and effective procedures placed with high fidelity with comparable outcomes. DPEJ was associated with fewer tube malfunction and failure rates; however, it is technically more complex and not standardized, while PEG-J had higher placement rates. The use of balloon enteroscopy was found to enhance DPEJ performance.

Abstract
We performed a meta‐analysis to evaluate the effect of rapid rehabilitation on the curative effect of gastrointestinal surgery subjects. A systematic literature search up to October 2021 was done and 31 studies included 4448 subjects with gastrointestinal surgery at the start of the study: 2242 of them were provided with rapid rehabilitation and 2206 were standard care. They were reporting relationships about the effect of rapid rehabilitation on the curative effect of gastrointestinal surgery subjects. We calculated the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the effect of rapid rehabilitation on the curative effect of gastrointestinal surgery subjects using the dichotomous method with a random‐ or fixed‐effect model. Rapid rehabilitation had significantly lower complications (OR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.54‐0.71, P < .001) and wound infection (OR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.55‐0.98, P = .03) compared with standard care in subjects with gastrointestinal surgery. However, rapid rehabilitation had no significant effect on the anastomotic leak (OR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.66‐1.22, P = .49), obstruction (OR, 0.92; 95% CI, −0.64 to 1.31, P = .65), and hospital re‐admission (OR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.57‐1.08, P = .13) compared with standard care in subjects with gastrointestinal surgery. Rapid rehabilitation had significantly lower complications and wound infection, and had no significant effect on the anastomotic leak, obstruction, and hospital re‐admission compared with standard care in subjects with gastrointestinal surgery. Further studies are required to validate these findings.

Abstract
The significant advances that have been reached, in the last decades, in the treatment of gastric cancer, contributed to the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) with the aim to reduce the surgical stress, accelerate postoperative recovery, and reduce the length of hospital stay. The most important items included in the ERAS protocols are the pre-operative patient education, early mobilization and immediate oral intake from the first postoperative day. The aim of this narrative review is to focus the attention on the possible advantages of ERAS program on perioperative functional recovery outcomes after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Abstract
Rational:
The metabolic response to surgical trauma is enhanced by prolonged preoperative fasting, contributing to increased insulin resistance. This manifestation is more intense on the 1st and 2nd postoperative days and is directly proportional to the size of the operation.
Aim: To compare whether preoperative fasting abbreviation and early postoperative refeeding associated with intraoperative and postoperative fluid restriction interfere in the evolution of patients undergoing gastrojejunal bypass.
Methods: Eighty patients indicated for Roux-en-Y gastrojejunal bypass were selected. They were randomly divided into two groups: Ringer Lactate (RL) group, who underwent a 6 hours solids fasting, with the administration of 50 g of maltodextrin in 100 ml of mineral water 2 hours before the beginning of anesthesia; and Physiologic Solution (PS) group, who underwent a 12 hours solids and liquids fasting. Anesthesia was standardized for both groups. During the surgical procedure, 1500 ml of ringer lactate solution was administered in the RL and 2500 ml of physiological solution (0.9% sodium chloride) in the PS. In both groups, the occurrence of bronchoaspiration was analyzed during intubation, and the residual gastric volume was measured after opening the abdominal cavity. In the postoperative period in Group RL, patients started a liquid diet 24 hours after the end of the operative procedure; whilst for PS group, fasting was maintained for the first 24 hours, it was prescripted 2000 ml of physiological solution and a restricted liquid diet after 36 hours. Each patient underwent CPK, insulin, sodium, potassium, urea, creatinine, PaCO2, pH and bicarbonate dosage in the immediate postoperative period, and 48 hours later, the exams were repeated.
Results: There were no episodes of bronchoaspiration and gastrojejunal fistulas in either group. In the analysis of the residual gastric volume of the PS and RL groups, the mean volumes were respectively 16.5 and 8.8, which shows statistical significance between the groups. In laboratory tests, there was no difference between groups in sodium; PS group showed a higher level of serum potassium (p=0.029); whilst RL group showed a higher urea and creatinine values; CPK values were even for both; PS group demonstrated a higher insulin level; pH was higher in PS group; sodium bicarbonate showed a significant difference at all times; PaCO2 values in RL group was higher than in PS. In the analysis of the incidence of nausea and flatus, no statistical significance was observed between the groups.
Conclusions: The abbreviation of preoperative fasting and early postoperative refeeding of Roux-en-Y gastrojejunal bypass with the application of ERAS or ACERTO Project accelerated the patient’s recovery, reducing residual gastric volume and insulin level, and do not predispose to complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The strategy of increasing the postoperative enteral nutrition dose to the target goal has not yet been clarified. This study aimed to determine whether an immediate goal-dose enteral nutrition (IGEN) strategy is non-inferior to a gradual goal-dose enteral nutrition (GGEN) strategy in reducing infections in patients undergoing abdominal surgery involving the organs of the digestive system. METHODS This randomized controlled trial enrolled postoperative patients with nutritional risk screening 2002 scores ≥3 from 11 Chinese hospitals. Energy targets were calculated as 25 kcal/kg and 30 kcal/kg of ideal body weight for women and men, respectively. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to IGEN or GGEN group after enteral tolerance was confirmed (30% of the target on day 2). The IGEN group immediately started receiving 100% of the caloric requirements on day 3, while the GGEN group received 40% progressing to 80% of target on day 7. The primary endpoint was the infection rate until discharge, based on the intention-to-treat population. RESULTS A total of 411 patients were enrolled and randomized to the IGEN and GGEN groups, and five patients did not receive the allocated intervention. A total of 406 patients were included in the primary analysis, with 199 and 207 in the IGEN and GGEN groups, respectively. Infection was observed in 17/199 (8.5%) in the IGEN group and 19/207 (9.2%) in the GGEN group, respectively (difference, -0.6%; [95% confidence interval (CI), -6.2%-4.9%]; P = 0.009 for non-inferiority test). There were significantly more gastrointestinal intolerance events with IGEN than with GGEN (58/199 [29.1%] vs. 32/207 [15.5%], P < 0.001). All other secondary endpoints were non-significant. CONCLUSIONS Among postoperative patients at nutritional risk, IGEN was non-inferior to GGEN in regards to infectious complications. IGEN was associated with more gastrointestinal intolerance events. It showed that IGEN cannot be considered to be clinically directive. ClinicalTrials.gov (#NCT03117348).

Abstract
In hospitals through Europe and worldwide, the practices regarding hospital diets are very heterogeneous. Hospital diets are rarely prescribed by physicians, and sometimes the choices of diets are based on arbitrary reasons. Often prescriptions are made independently from the evaluation of nutritional status, and without taking into account the nutritional status. Therapeutic diets (low salt, gluten-free, texture and consistency modified, …) are associated with decreased energy delivery (i.e. underfeeding) and increased risk of malnutrition. The European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) proposes here evidence-based recommendations regarding the organization of food catering, the prescriptions and indications of diets, as well as monitoring of food intake at hospital, rehabilitation center, and nursing home, all of these by taking into account the patient perspectives. We propose a systematic approach to adapt the hospital food to the nutritional status and potential food allergy or intolerances. Particular conditions such as patients with dysphagia, older patients, gastrointestinal diseases, abdominal surgery, diabetes, and obesity, are discussed to guide the practitioner toward the best evidence based therapy. The terminology of the different useful diets is defined. The general objectives are to increase the awareness of physicians, dietitians, nurses, kitchen managers, and stakeholders towards the pivotal role of hospital food in hospital care, to contribute to patient safety within nutritional care, to improve coverage of nutritional needs by hospital food, and reduce the risk of malnutrition and its related complications.

Is Preoperative Serum Albumin Predictive of Adverse Surgical Outcomes in Maxillofacial Fracture Repair? J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2021; 80:286-295. [PMID: 34861205 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2021.10.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2021] [Revised: 10/21/2021] [Accepted: 10/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Malnutrition has been recognized as a predictor of postoperative adverse outcomes across many surgical subspecialties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between serum albumin and adverse outcomes in patients undergoing operative repair of maxillofacial fractures. METHODS The authors utilized the 2011 to 2018 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) databases to identify patients with facial fractures undergoing operative repair. The primary predictor variable was preoperative serum albumin level. Outcome variables included complications and other adverse outcomes occurring within 30 days of the index operation. Descriptive, bivariate, and multiple logistic regression statistics were utilized to evaluate the relationship between serum albumin and adverse outcomes. RESULTS During the study period 1211 subjects underwent operative repair of a facial fracture and had a documented serum albumin level. Of these subjects, 1037 (85.6%) had normal albumin levels and 174 (14.4%) had hypoalbuminemia. A total of 90 subjects experienced a complication (7.43%), although albumin level was not associated with surgical complications or any complication. In bivariate analysis, subjects with hypoalbuminemia were significantly more likely to have an extended length of stay (P ≤ .001), adverse discharge disposition (P ≤ .001), and be readmitted (P = .002). In multivariate analysis, hypoalbuminemia was an independent predictor of an extended length of stay (P ≤ .001, 95% CI 2.50 to 7.62), adverse discharge disposition (P = .048, 95% CI 1.01 to 3.75), and readmission (P = .041, 95% CI 1.03 to 3.47). CONCLUSIONS Serum albumin was not an independent predictor of complications after maxillofacial trauma repair. However, it was an independent predictor of other adverse outcomes including extended length of stay, adverse discharge disposition, and readmission. Targeted nutritional optimization may represent an opportunity to improve outcomes in this demographic.

Abstract
AIM To systematically review literature and to assess the status of the ERAS protocol in pediatric populations undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. METHODS Literature research was carried out for papers comparing ERAS and traditional protocol in children undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. Data on complications, hospital readmission, length of hospital stay, intraoperative fluid volume, post-operative opioid usage, time to defecation, regular diet, intravenous fluid stop, and costs were collected and analyzed. Analyses were performed using OR and CI 95%. A p value <0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS A total of 8 papers met the inclusion criteria, with 943 included patients. There was no significant difference in complication occurrence and 30-day readmission. Differently, length of stay, intraoperative fluid volume, post-operative opioid use, time to first defecation, time to regular diet, time to intravenous fluid stop, and costs were significantly lower in the ERAS groups. CONCLUSIONS ERAS protocol is safe and feasible for children undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. Without any significant complications and hospital readmission, it decreases length of stay, ameliorates the recovery of gastrointestinal function, and reduces the needs of perioperative infusion, post-operative opioid administration, and costs.

Abstract
The primary goal of this retrospective study was to evaluate the effect of postoperative appetite return in cats premedicated with maropitant citrate. Medical records of 75 cats admitted for gastrointestinal (GI) and urogenital (UG) surgeries were reviewed and analyzed. Buprenorphine analgesia was used with 36 cats (48%) premedicated with maropitant and 39 cats (52%) that were used as a control group. No significant differences in postoperative appetite return were reported with maropitant premedication compared to controls. Age, breed, preoperative weight, surgery type, surgery and anesthesia times, and total hospitalization time were also evaluated and were not reported to be significantly associated with postoperative appetite return. Presenting complaints of hyporexia or anorexia were significantly associated with earlier postoperative appetite return. Results of this study suggest that cats treated with buprenorphine for GI or UG surgeries do not have postoperative appetites return sooner when premedicated with maropitant.

Abstract
Early oral feeding is the preferred mode of nutrition for surgical patients. Avoidance of any nutritional therapy bears the risk of underfeeding during the postoperative course after major surgery. Considering that malnutrition and underfeeding are risk factors for postoperative complications, early enteral feeding is especially relevant for any surgical patient at nutritional risk, especially for those undergoing upper gastrointestinal surgery. The focus of this guideline is to cover both nutritional aspects of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) concept and the special nutritional needs of patients undergoing major surgery, e.g. for cancer, and of those developing severe complications despite best perioperative care. From a metabolic and nutritional point of view, the key aspects of perioperative care include the integration of nutrition into the overall management of the patient, avoidance of long periods of preoperative fasting, re-establishment of oral feeding as early as possible after surgery, the start of nutritional therapy immediately if a nutritional risk becomes apparent, metabolic control e.g. of blood glucose, reduction of factors which exacerbate stress-related catabolism or impaired gastrointestinal function, minimized time on paralytic agents for ventilator management in the postoperative period, and early mobilization to facilitate protein synthesis and muscle function.

Assessment of an integrated knowledge translation intervention to improve nutrition intakes among patients undergoing elective bowel surgery: a mixed-method process evaluation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A large evidence-practice gap exists regarding provision of nutrition to patients following surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the processes supporting the implementation of an intervention designed to improve the timing and adequacy of nutrition following bowel surgery. METHODS A mixed-method pilot study, using an integrated knowledge translation (iKT) approach, was undertaken at a tertiary teaching hospital in Australia. A tailored, multifaceted intervention including ten strategies targeted at staff or patients were co-developed with knowledge users at the hospital and implemented in practice. Process evaluation outcomes included reach, intervention delivery and staffs' responses to the intervention. Quantitative data, including patient demographics and surgical characteristics, intervention reach, and intervention delivery were collected via chart review and direct observation. Qualitative data (responses to the intervention) were sequentially collected from staff during one-on-one, semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were summarized using median (IQR), mean (SD) or frequency(%), while qualitative data were analysed using content analysis. RESULTS The intervention reached 34 patients. Eighty-four percent of nursing staff received an awareness and education session, while 0% of medical staff received a formal orientation or awareness and education session, despite the original intention to deliver these sessions. Several strategies targeted at patients had high fidelity, including delivery of nutrition education (92%); and prescription of oral nutrition supplements (100%) and free fluids immediately post-surgery (79%). Prescription of a high energy high protein diet on postoperative day one (0%) and oral nutrition supplements on postoperative day zero (62%); and delivery of preoperative nutrition handout (74%) and meal ordering education (50%) were not as well implemented. Interview data indicated that staff regard nutrition-related messages as important, however, their acceptance, awareness and perceptions of the intervention were mixed. CONCLUSIONS Approximately half the patient-related strategies were implemented well, which is likely attributed to the medical and nursing staff involved in intervention design championing these strategies. However, some strategies had low delivery, which was likely due to the varied awareness and acceptance of the intervention among staff on the ward. These findings suggest the importance of having buy-in from all staff when using an iKT approach to design and implement interventions.

Abstract
Objective We aimed to determine the physiological and hemodynamic changes in patients who were undergoing hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) cytoreductive surgeries. Methods This prospective, observational study enrolled 21 patients who were undergoing elective cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC at our hospital over 2 years. We collected vital signs, hemodynamic parameters including global end-diastolic volume index (GEVI) and extravascular lung water index (ELWI) using the VolumeView™ system, and arterial blood gas analysis from all patients. Data were recorded before skin incision (T1); 30 minutes before HIPEC initiation (T2); 30 (T3), 60 (T4), and 90 (T5) minutes after HIPEC initiation; 30 minutes after HIPEC completion (T6); and 10 minutes before surgery completion (T7). Results Patients showed an increase in body temperature and cardiac index and a decrease in the systemic vascular resistance index. GEDI was 715.4 (T1) to 809.7 (T6), and ELWI was 6.9 (T1) to 7.3 (T5). Conclusions HIPEC increased patients’ body temperature and cardiac output and decreased systemic vascular resistance. Although parameters that were extracted from the VolumeView™ system were within their normal ranges, transpulmonary thermodilution approach is helpful in intraoperative hemodynamic management during open abdominal cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC.

Abstract
Background: We investigated whether nutritional intervention affected food intake after epilepsy surgery and if intravenous infusions were required in patients with epilepsy. We hypothesized that postoperative food intake would be increased by nutritional intervention. The purpose of this study was to compare postoperative food intake in the periods before and after nutritional intervention. Methods: Between September 2015 and October 2020, 124 epilepsy surgeries were performed. Of these, 65 patients who underwent subdural electrode placement followed by open cranial epilepsy surgery were studied. Postoperative total food intake, rate of maintenance of food intake, and total intravenous infusion were compared in the periods before and after nutritional intervention. Results: A total of 26 females and 39 males (age range 3–60, mean 27.1, standard deviation (SD) 14.3, median 26 years) were enrolled. Of these, 18 females and 23 males (3–60, mean 28.2, SD 15.1, median 26 years) were in the pre-nutritional intervention period group, and eight females and 16 males (5–51, mean 25.2, SD 12.9, median 26.5 years) were in the post-nutritional intervention period group. The post-nutritional intervention period group showed significantly higher food intake (p = 0.015) and lower total infusion (p = 0.006) than the pre-nutritional intervention period group. Conclusion: The nutritional intervention increased food intake and also reduced the total amount of intravenous infusion. To identify the cut-off day to cease the intervention and to evaluate whether the intervention can reduce the complication rate, a multicenter study with a large number of patients is warranted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Complete reporting of systematic reviews of interventions is essential to the interpretation of research findings and the reproducibility of research results. The Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) checklist-and the version specific to systematic reviews (TIDieR-SR)-was created to provide authors and researchers an evidence-based guide for reporting trial and systematic review interventions. In this study, we apply TIDieR-SR to Cochrane systematic reviews of surgical interventions. METHODS We searched the Cochrane Database for relevant systematic reviews. Two investigators applied inclusion/exclusion criteria to all titles/abstracts and full texts. These same investigators extracted all data in duplicate while masked to the other's data. The primary outcome was adherence to TIDieR-SR items. RESULTS Two hundred and thirty-eight systematic reviews were included. Overall, included SRs adhered to a median of 6 (IQR 5-7) out of eight TIDieR-SR items. The item with the lowest adherence was item 7 (share intervention materials, 1/238 (0.4%). DISCUSSION Our results are encouraging, but the generalisability of our findings is compromised by the inclusion of only Cochrane systematic reviews. Future reporting of intervention materials is likely to improve the application of effective surgical interventions in the clinical practice.

Abstract
Objectives Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is associated with postoperative gastroparesis and ileus. In 2015, our practice shifted from using percutaneous gastrostomy tubes (PGT), to nasogastric tubes (NGT) for prophylactic gastric decompression after CRS-HIPEC. This study aimed to compare these methods for length of stay (LOS) and associated complications. Methods Patients that underwent CRS-HIPEC for peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer between 2014 and 2019 were included. Cases were grouped based on receiving NGT or PGT postoperatively. Multivariable linear regression determined the independent effect of decompression method on LOS, thereby adjusting for confounders. Results In total, 179 patients were included in the analyses. Median age was 64 years [IQR:54–71]. Altogether, 135 (75.4%) received a NGT and 44 (24.6%) received a PGT. Gastroparesis occurred significantly more often in the PGT group (18.2 vs. 7.4%, p=0.039). Median LOS was significantly shorter for patients with a NGT (15 [IQR:12–19] vs. 18.5 [IQR:17–25.5], p<0.001). PGT was independently associated with longer LOS in multivariable analysis (Beta=4.224 [95%CI 1.243–7.204]). There was no difference regarding aspiration, pneumonia and postoperative mortality between groups. Conclusions NGT should be preferred over PGT for gastric decompression after CRS-HIPEC as it is associated with fewer gastroparesis and shorter LOS.

Abstract
Background Although current guidelines make consensus recommendations for the early resumption of oral intake after surgery, a recent comprehensive meta-analysis failed to identify any patient-centered benefits. We hypothesized this finding was attributable to pooling studies providing effective protein-containing diets with ineffective non-protein liquid diets. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to investigate the safety and efficacy of early oral protein-containing diets versus later (traditional) feeding after elective lower gastrointestinal tract surgery in adults. Methods PubMed, Embase, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases were searched from inception until 1 August 2019. Reference lists of retrieved studies were hand searched to identify randomized clinical trials reporting mortality. No language restrictions were applied. Study selection, risk of bias appraisal and data abstraction were undertaken independently by two authors. Disagreements were settled by obtaining an opinion of a third author. Majority decisions prevailed. After assessment of underlying assumptions, a fixed-effects method was used for analysis. The primary outcome was mortality. Secondary outcomes included surgical site infections, postoperative nausea and vomiting, serious postoperative complications and other key measures of safety and efficacy. Results Eight randomized clinical trials recruiting 657 patients were included. Compared with later (traditional) feeding, commencing an early oral protein-containing diet resulted in a statistically significant reduction in mortality (odds ratio [OR] 0.31, P = 0.02, I2 = 0%). An early oral protein-containing diet also significantly reduced surgical site infections (OR 0.39, P = 0.002, I2 = 32%), postoperative nausea and vomiting (OR 0.62, P = 0.04, I2 = 37%), serious postoperative complications (OR 0.60, P = 0.01, I2 = 25%), and significantly improved other major outcomes. No harms attributable to an early oral protein-containing diet were identified. Conclusions The results of this systematic review can be used to upgrade current guideline statements to a grade A recommendation supporting an oral protein-containing diet commenced before the end of postoperative day 1 after elective lower gastrointestinal surgery in adults.

Early oral feeding is safe and useful after rectosigmoid resection with anastomosis during cytoreductive surgery for primary ovarian cancer. World J Surg Oncol 2021; 19:77. [PMID: 33722264 PMCID: PMC7962404 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-021-02186-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2020] [Accepted: 03/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and clinical usefulness of early oral feeding (EOF) after rectosigmoid resection with anastomosis for the treatment of primary ovarian cancer. Methods We performed a retrospective review of all consecutive patients who had undergone rectosigmoid resection with anastomosis for primary ovarian, tubal, or peritoneal cancer between April 2012 and March 2019 in a single institution. Patient-related, disease-related, and surgery-related data including the incidence of anastomotic leakage and postoperative hospital stay were collected. EOF was introduced as a postoperative oral feeding protocol in September 2016. Before the introduction of EOF, conventional oral feeding (COF) had been used. Results Two hundred and one patients who underwent rectosigmoid resection with anastomosis, comprised of 95 patients in the COF group and 106 patients in the EOF group, were included in this study. The median number of postoperative days until the start of diet intake was 5 (range 2–8) in the COF group and 2 (range 2–8) in the EOF group (P < 0.001). Postoperative morbidity was equivalent between the groups. The incidence of anastomotic leakage was similar (1%) in both groups. The median length of the postoperative hospital stay was reduced by 6 days for the EOF group: 17 (range 9–67) days for the COF group versus 11 (8–49) days for the EOF group (P < 0.001). Conclusion EOF provides a significant reduction in the length of the postoperative hospital stay without an increased complication risk after rectosigmoid resection with anastomosis as a part of cytoreductive surgery for primary ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Maximal cytoreductive surgery is an important prognostic factor in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). To achieve maximal cytoreductive surgery, en bloc pelvic resection with rectosigmoid colectomy can be an effective surgical strategy. This surgical methodology was first described in 1968 as "radical oophorectomy." Since then, it has been adopted by many medical institutions around the world, and its safety has been shown by many studies. However, research on the surgical method is still lacking due to the limited number of prospective comparative studies. We will review the journals on en bloc pelvic resection with rectosigmoid colectomy published to date and discuss its efficacy, complications, and surgical techniques of the procedures.

Early enteral feeding after intestinal anastomosis in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Pediatr Surg Int 2021; 37:403-410. [PMID: 33595685 DOI: 10.1007/s00383-020-04830-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 11/30/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Delayed enteral feeding (DEF) contributes to postoperative complications among children undergoing intestinal surgery. Various recent studies indicate the benefits of early enteral nutrition after intestinal surgery in adults. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates whether early enteral feeding (EEF) is beneficial in children who underwent intestinal anastomosis. METHODS MEDLINE, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched for RCTs that addressed the effect of EEF in children (younger than 18 years old) undergoing intestinal anastomosis. EEF was defined as starting enteral feeding before the 3rd postoperative day. Studies were selected based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. A meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 to estimate odds ratios (ORs) or mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Four RCT studies met the inclusion criteria, comprising 97 cases with EEF and 89 cases with DEF. Enteral feeding started significantly earlier in the EEF group compared to the DEF group (MD = - 2.80; 95% CI - 3.11 to - 2.49; p < 0.00001). Postoperative anastomotic leak rate was unchanged between EEF and DEF groups (OR = 0.86; 95% CI 0.17-4.46; p = 0.86). The EEF group had a shorter length of hospital stay (MD = - 3.38; 95% CI - 4.29 to - 2.48; p < 0.00001), earlier time to bowel movement return (MD = - 0.57; 95% CI - 0.79 to - 0.35; p < 0.00001), lower incidence of surgical infection (OR = 0.27; 95% CI 0.08-0.90; p = 0.03), and faster tolerance of full enteral feeding (MD = - 2.00; 95% CI - 3.01 to - 2.79; p < 0.00001). Incidence of fever (OR = 0.37; 95% CI 0.10-1.31; p = 0.12), emesis, and abdominal distention (OR = 0.63; 95% CI 0.13-3.16; p = 0.58) were not different between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Early enteral feeding after intestinal anastomosis in children does not increase the risk of postoperative anastomotic leak, fever, emesis, and abdominal distention. However, early enteral feeding is beneficial as it promotes the return of bowel function, reduces the length of hospital stay and the incidence of surgical infection in comparison to delayed enteral feeding.

Abstract
Background Evidence is lacking concerning re‐introduction of feed and water following colic surgery. Objectives To describe current approaches of European and American specialists to re‐introduction of feed and water in adult horses following surgical treatment of common intestinal lesions, assuming an uncomplicated recovery. Study design Cross‐sectional survey. Methods Electronic invitations, with a link to the online survey, were sent to 1,430 large animal specialists, including Diplomates of the ECVS, ACVS, ECEIM and ACVIM colleges. Results The response rate was 12.6% including partial respondent data. Responses for each multiple‐choice question were between 123 and 178. Results are expressed as the percentage of the total number of responses and as a range where specific lesions are grouped together. Respondents reported that horses with large intestinal displacements were offered free choice water (63%‐65%) within 3 hours (55%‐63%), whereas horses with a small intestinal strangulating lesion were offered < 2 L water (64%‐74%) 12‐24 hours (28%‐34%) post‐operatively. Horses with a large colon displacement were offered feed within 3 hours of surgery (16%) with the majority offered feed 6‐12 hours (35%‐36%) post‐operatively. Horses with small intestinal strangulating lesions and small colon lesions were offered feed 24‐48 hours (34%‐42%) after surgery. Following small intestinal, small colon or caecal lesions, horses were re‐introduced feed in handfuls (79%‐93%) and initially with grass (41%‐54%). Horses with large colon displacements were mostly fed handfuls (49%‐50%) of forage initially, but a number of respondents would offer larger quantities such as a small bucket (35%‐37%) and predominantly of hay (50%‐51%). Main limitations Low response rate. This study did not take into account common post‐operative complications that may alter the clinical approach. Conclusions This post‐operative colic nutrition survey is the first to describe current clinical practice. Further research is required to investigate nutritional strategies in post‐operative colic cases.

Indian J Anaesth 2020; 64:1025-1031. [PMID: 33542565 PMCID: PMC7852446 DOI: 10.4103/ija.ija_480_20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2020] [Revised: 07/13/2020] [Accepted: 09/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Aims: Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) is an extensive procedure associated with significant morbidity, delay in return of gastrointestinal function and discharge from hospital. Our aim was to assess perioperative factors influencing enteral resumption (ER) and length of stay in the hospital (LOS) in CRS-HIPEC. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted in a major tertiary cancer centre. Sixty-five patients who underwent CRS-HIPEC between July 2014 and March 2019 were included in the study. The perioperative data were collected from patient records. The primary outcome measure was day of oral resumption of 500 ml of clear fluids and secondary outcome was the LOS. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was done for the various continuous and categorical perioperative variables for both ER and LOS to elicit the magnitude of risk for both outcomes. Results: Univariate logistic regression revealed that peritoneal carcinomatosis index score (PCI), duration of surgery, blood loss and postoperative ventilation influenced both ER and LOS. Serum albumin, plasma usage and total peritonectomy affected only the LOS but not ER. Multivariate analysis showed that duration of surgery (P = 0.006) and quantum of intravenous fluid infused (P = 0.043) were statistically associated with ER, while serum albumin level (P = 0.025) and postoperative ventilation (P = 0.045) were independently predictive of LOS. Conclusion: CRS-HIPEC is an extensive surgery and multiple factors are associated with ER; of these, duration of surgery and intraoperative fluid therapy are significant factors. Low serum albumin and prolonged postoperative ventilation are associated with increased LOS.

Abstract
Postoperative ileus (POI) and postoperative gastrointestinal tract dysfunction (POGD) are well-known complications affecting patients undergoing intestinal surgery. GI symptoms include nausea, vomiting, pain, abdominal distention, bloating, and constipation. These iatrogenic disorders are associated with extended hospitalizations, increased morbidity, and health care costs into the billions and current therapeutic strategies are limited. This is a narrative review focused on recent concepts in the pathogenesis of POI and POGD, pipeline drugs or approaches to treatment. Mechanisms, cellular targets and pathways implicated in the pathogenesis include gut surgical manipulation and surgical trauma, neuroinflammation, reactive enteric glia, macrophages, mast cells, monocytes, neutrophils and ICC's. The precise interactions between immune, inflammatory, neural and glial cells are not well understood. Reactive enteric glial cells are an emerging therapeutic target that is under intense investigation for enteric neuropathies, GI dysmotility and POI. Our review emphasizes current therapeutic strategies, starting with the implementation of colorectal enhanced recovery after surgery protocols to protect against POI and POGD. However, despite colorectal enhanced recovery after surgery, it remains a significant medical problem and burden on the healthcare system. Over 100 pipeline drugs or treatments are listed in Clin.Trials.gov. These include 5HT4R agonists (Prucalopride and TAK 954), vagus nerve stimulation of the ENS-macrophage nAChR cholinergic pathway, acupuncture, herbal medications, peripheral acting opioid antagonists (Alvimopen, Methlnaltexone, Naldemedine), anti-bloating/flatulence drugs (Simethiocone), a ghreline prokinetic agonist (Ulimovelin), drinking coffee, and nicotine chewing gum. A better understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms for short and long-term outcomes is necessary before we can develop better prophylactic and treatment strategies.

Abstract
Malnutrition in gastrointestinal surgery is associated with poorer post-operative outcomes which may be mitigated by delivery of evidence-based nutrition care. This study reports on the development, implementation and evaluation of an evidence-based nutrition care pathway for lower gastrointestinal and pelvic cancer patients. A retrospective cohort study of 40 surgical lower gastrointestinal and pelvic cancer patients pre- and post-implementation of the pathway was conducted. Outcomes assessed were, care pathway adherence, weight change, time to post-operative commencement of nutrition, and post-operative length of stay. Post-implementation of the pathway there were significant improvements in the proportion of patients who received dietetic assessment and education pre-surgery (0% vs 55%, P < .001) at regular intervals during admission (35% vs. 90%, P < .001) and post-discharge (22.5% vs. 81.8%, P < .001). Mean weight change between admission and discharge reduced post-implementation (-3.5%, SD 4.7 vs, -5.6%, SD 4.7; P = 0.08). Post-operative length of stay remained similar (16 day, IQR 11-34.7 vs. 17.5 day, IQR 11.2-25; P = 0.71). Post-implementation a greater proportion of patients commenced oral or enteral nutrition within 24 h, post-operatively (75% vs. 57.5%, P = 0.1). The nutrition care pathway was an effective method for delivering evidence-based nutrition care, resulting in clinically but not statistically significant improvements in outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Past techniques for the repair of complex incisional hernias have been met with unacceptably high recurrence rates and postoperative complications. The transversus abdominis release (TAR) is a versatile and durable solution gaining popularity amongst both abdominal wall specialists and general surgeons. However, several preoperative factors and specific intraoperative pitfalls can have a major impact on patient outcomes. METHODS The authors review the current literature and draw upon their own practice experience to highlight key preoperative and perioperative steps for avoiding common pitfalls or "error traps" often performed by a surgeon new to this surgical technique. RESULTS We discuss preoperative factors that influence the outcomes of patients undergoing incisional hernia repair. We show how a TAR that preserves the neurovascular bundles supplying the rectus complex and dissection in the correct plane prevents the formation of new, challenging unintended hernia defects and provides for wide prosthetic overlap offering the patient a sustainable repair. Lastly, we highlight key postoperative factors that affect a patient's recovery. CONCLUSIONS Avoidance of surgical error traps combined with technique mastery can lead to the successful repair of challenging abdominal wall defects using the TAR approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To put forward a new index (A/G, the postoperative ratio of albumin to blood glucose) associated with complications occurring within 30-day of radical cystectomy and intestinal urinary diversion (RC-IUD). PATIENTS AND METHODS The charts of 565 patients undergoing RC-IUD at our single center between 2008 and 2018 were reviewed. All baseline information and perioperative data were collected. We finally picked up 360 of them with complete postoperative laboratory test results to find a new index. Early complications (within 30-day) after surgery were graded using the standardized Clavien-Dindo scale. Single and multivariate logistic regression determined the association between perioperative variables and post RC-IUD complications. RESULTS A total of 485 men and 80 women with a median age of 61 years and BMI of 24.8 were included. As for intestinal urinary diversion, most patients (n = 513, 90.8%) received ileal conduits, 47 (8.3%) received Ileal orthotopic neobladders and 5 received Mainz pouch bladders (0.9%). Robotic surgeries were conducted in 311(55.0%) patients and other 254 (45.0%) accepted laparoscopic surgeries. Available laboratory markers were obtained from 359 cases. Postoperative complications occurred in 129 patients (22.8%), including 117 (90.7%) Minor (Clavien I or Clavien II events) complications, and 12 (9.3%) major (Clavien III or greater events) complications. A single logistic regression identified 4 variables associated with postoperative complications, including hypertension, surgical procedures, postoperative A/G, operating time, and blood loss. A further multivariate logistic regression identified 2 significant indices: operating time and postoperative A/G. Moreover, we built a receiver operating characteristic curve of A/G to identify a threshold of 3.65 as a new indicator of postoperative complication. CONCLUSIONS We put forward a new index named A/G associated with complications after radical cystectomy, not singular considering albumin or blood glucose any more. This novel related index may provide an early alert for RC-IUD patients thus aiding in directing individual rehabilitation and improving postoperative outcomes after RC-IUD.

Ghosh A, Biswas SK, Basu KS, Biswas SK. Early Feeding after Colorectal Surgery in Children: Is it Safe? J Indian Assoc Pediatr Surg 2020; 25:291-296. [PMID: 33343110 PMCID: PMC7732015 DOI: 10.4103/jiaps.jiaps_132_19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2019] [Revised: 10/12/2019] [Accepted: 04/08/2020] [Indexed: 11/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim of the Study The aim of this study is to assess the role of early feeding after elective colorectal surgery in children and compare the outcome of feeding practice early versus traditional feeding. Study Design A randomized controlled, single-center study was conducted over a period of 3 years (November 2015-October 2018) at a tertiary care center. Materials and Methods Patients (n = 147), after colostomy closure (as elective colorectal surgery), were randomly selected for postoperative feeding initiation and were divided into two groups, namely the control (traditional feeding) group and study group (early feeding). In early group, feeding was initiated on the postoperative day 1 after the removal of nasogastric tube (removed after 16 h of surgery). Postoperative hospital stay and complications were compared among them. Statistical Analysis Used Data were tabulated and analyzed in Microsoft Excel 2010. Results Among 147 patients (boys[70] and girls [77]), the average age of colostomy closure was 4.36 years. Forty-five patients had early feeding and 102 traditional feeding. Average postoperative hospital stay was noted 5.62 ± 1.11 days for "Study group" and 8.1 ± 1.04 days for "Control group." Postoperative complications were found in 17 patients; 11 (7.5%) superficial surgical site infection (9 [8.8%] in control and 2 [4.4%] in study group) and 6 (4%) minor fecal fistulae (5 [4.9%] in control group and 1 [2.2%] in study group). None required any further surgical intervention. No mortality was reported. Conclusions Early feeding initiation after elective colorectal surgery is safe, and postoperative hospital stay is significantly reduced. It is definitely a step forward in the era of fast track surgery in pediatric population.

Greer D, Karunaratne YG, Karpelowsky J, Adams S. Early enteral feeding after pediatric abdominal surgery: A systematic review of the literature. J Pediatr Surg 2020; 55:1180-1187. [PMID: 31676081 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2019.08.055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2019] [Revised: 08/07/2019] [Accepted: 08/25/2019] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Traditionally enteral nutrition has been delayed following abdominal surgery in children, to prevent complications. However, recent evidence in the adult literature refutes the supposed benefits of fasting and suggests decreased complications with early enteral nutrition (EEN). This review aimed to compile the evidence for EEN in children in this setting. METHODS Databases Pubmed, EmBase, Medline and reference lists were searched for articles containing relevant search terms according to PRISMA guidelines. First and second authors reviewed abstracts. Studies containing patients less than 18 years undergoing abdominal surgery, with feeding initiated earlier than standard practice, were included. Studies including pyloromyotomy were excluded. Primary outcome was length of stay (LOS). Secondary outcomes included time to full enteral nutrition, time to stool and postoperative complications. RESULTS Fourteen articles met inclusion criteria - five on neonatal abdominal surgery, three on gastrostomy formation and six on intestinal anastomoses. There were three randomized control trials (RCTs), five cohort studies, four historical control trials, one nonrandomized trial and one case series. Nine studies showed a decreased LOS with EEN. Most studies which reported time to full enteral nutrition showed improvement with EEN; however, time to stool was similar in most studies. Postoperative complications were either decreased or not statistically different in EEN groups in all studies. CONCLUSION Studies to date in a limited number of procedures suggest EEN appears safe and effective in children undergoing abdominal surgery. Although robust evidence is lacking, there are clear benefits in LOS and time to full feeds, and no increase in complications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.
