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.
