Summary

A prospective randomized controlled study compared the effects of perioperative immunonutrition and standard enteral nutrition (EN) on postoperative short-term outcomes of patients with head and neck (HNC).

Five days before surgery and the postoperative day 10, immunonutrition support was given to the intervention group (n=17), and standard EN support was given to the control group (n=17). Body analyses were made, food consumption records were taken, NRS-2002 and quality of life scales were applied, and biochemical parameters were recorded.

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Experimental (Immunonutrition) Group

Immunonutrition was given to the patients in the intervention group and ready-to-use liquid in addition to their normal nutrition 5 days before the operation. The patients were instructed to consume three enteral products per day as taken between meals. In the postoperative period, feeding was started in the first 24 hours with the NG tube placed during the operation. The ready-to-use immunonutrition product was given to the patients in the intervention group.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Active Comparator Group ( Standard enteral nutrition)

Standard enteral nutrition was given to patients in the control group in addition to their normal nutrition 5 days before the operation. The patients were instructed to consume three enteral products per day between meals. In the postoperative period, feeding was started in the first 24 hours with the NG tube placed during the operation. Liquid standard enteral nutrition was given to the patients in the control group.
