Area of Science:

  • Nutrition Science
  • Surgical Nutrition
  • Clinical Nutrition

Background:

  • Intravenous and enteral nutrition are well-studied in perioperative care.
  • Literature on perioperative oral nutrition is limited, despite its potential importance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight novel concepts in preoperative oral feeding, challenging traditional overnight fasting.
  • To demonstrate the tolerability and benefits of immediate postoperative oral nutrition.
  • To emphasize the value of routine liquid supplements and discharge dietary advice for surgical patients.

Main Methods:

  • This is a review of existing literature and new concepts regarding perioperative oral nutrition.
  • Analysis of tolerability of immediate postoperative oral intake.
  • Evaluation of the role of liquid supplements and dietary counseling post-discharge.

Main Results:

  • Preoperative oral feeding can be a viable alternative to overnight fasting.
  • Patients generally tolerate significant amounts of oral nutrition immediately after surgery.
  • Liquid nutritional supplements can be routinely administered after elective procedures.
  • Dietary advice for malnourished patients upon hospital discharge is beneficial.

Conclusions:

  • Perioperative oral nutrition warrants greater attention and research.
  • Early oral feeding and targeted nutritional support can enhance surgical recovery.
  • Optimizing oral nutrition strategies can improve patient outcomes and reduce malnutrition.
