Abstract:
Objectives:To observe the role of peri operational nutritional support in the old patients with gastrointestinal carcinoma. Methods: One hundred and seventeen cases of aged patients with gastrointestinal carcinoma were divided into two groups: nutritional support (NS) group and normal therapy(NT) group. The therapeutic effects of peri operational nutritional support were studied. Results: All patients survived. The rate of complication in group of NT was higher than that of NS group. The recovering time of the gut function after operation and average duration in the hospital of the NT group were longer than that in the NS group. The recovery of body weight, level of plasma albumen and nitrogen balance in NS group was faster than that of NT group. Conclusions:Peri operational nutritional support in the aged patients with gastroenterological carcinoma is of significance, improving the nutritional condition,enhancing the endurance from the surgical trauma and decreasing the rate of postoperative complication.
