Abstract:
Postoperative nutrition support for patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple's procedure) may be complicated due to gastrointestinal tract dysfunction (gastroparesis, dumping, and malabsorption) subsequent to the procedure. Clinical management of these patients may be adversely affected by procedure-specific knowledge deficits (method of gastrointestinal [GI] reconstruction), common and expected surgical complications, and the available route for alimentation. It is the aim of this report to provide the reader with an overview of the procedure, common postoperative nutrition issues, and available interventions.
