Core Tip
Core Tip: This study demonstrated the critical role of early enteral nutritional support in the postoperative recovery of patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal tract tumors. This strategy not only helped to improve patient nutritional status, accelerate postoperative recovery, and reduce the incidence of complications but also improved patient quality of life by enhancing immune function and protecting intestinal function. Early enteral nutritional support becomes an important component of postsurgical care for gastrointestinal tumors and helps to improve the overall outcome of patients.
