Preoperative Immunonutrition in Normonourished Patients Undergoing Fast-track Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery

NCT04692545 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 173

Last updated 2021-01-05

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Immunonutrition (IN) appears to reduce infective complications and in-hospital length of stay (LOS) after gastrointestinal surgery. More specifically, it seems to be beneficial also in colorectal cancer surgery. Potential benefits of combining preoperative IN (PIN) with protocols of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in reducing LOS in laparoscopic surgery are yet to be determined.
