Core Tip
Core Tip: Gastrointestinal tract surgery is a complex process, with a wide range of operations and large trauma. It is easy to have various infectious complications in postoperative recovery, which affects the efficacy of surgical treatment. Early postoperative nutritional support can provide necessary nutrition, restore intestinal barrier, and reduce complications. However, whether early postoperative nutritional support can significantly improve the nutritional status of patients, different studies have reached different conclusions. This study used literature retrieval and Meta analysis to conduct quantitative analysis. It was found that early enteral nutrition support could shorten the defecation time after gastrointestinal surgery, the overall hospital stay, reduce the incidence of complications, and speed up the rehabilitation process. However, the improvement of nutritional status was not significant.
