Abstract

The traditional practice of fasting until transit has been proven to be of no benefit and is now being changed. Early postoperative oral nutrition is recommended in most guidelines of major nutrition associations and in recovery enhancing programs around the world. We conducted a controlled clinical trial in 30 patients undergoing distal gastrectomy for cancer who were randomly divided into 2 groups. The intervention group received early oral nutrition within 24-48 hours after surgery. The control group was fed as routine regimen of the Hospital. The results showed that early oral feeding enhanced bowel function recovery with shorter annal exhaust time and defecation time statistically significant, while the incidences of postoperative complicationsand feeding intolerance were comparable between the two groups, there were no cases of anastomotic leakage. In comparison to delayed oral feeding, early oral feeding was higher levels of prealbumin significantly.
