[Early nutrition support for intestinal insufficiency syndrome in spine surgery]
Abstract:
Paresis of the gastrointestinal tract resulting in the intestinal insufficiency syndrome (IIS) is a postoperative risk factor in spinal surgery. One hundred and twenty patients with fractures at L1-L2 spine level, isthmic spondylolisthesis, osteochondrosis and with sever neurological symptoms were examined and treated. The intestinal motor-evacuation malfunction, hypermetabolism, microbial translocation and immunity impairments are observed in IIS. Early nutritional support is indicated for the IIS prevention and treatment. Enteral feeding with new balanced mixtures containing fibers is effective.
