Achieving adequate calorie intake after total gastrectomy is crucial for nutritional recovery. Patients consuming over 2,000 Kcal daily showed significant improvements in weight and nutritional markers post-surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Nutritional Science

Context:

  • Total gastrectomy for gastric cancer presents significant challenges to postoperative nutritional status.
  • Effective dietary management and monitoring are essential for patient recovery after major gastrointestinal surgery.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the relationship between calorie intake and nutritional status in patients following total gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
  • To assess the impact of dietary interventions on key nutritional parameters in the first postoperative year.

Summary:

  • This study followed 28 patients post-total gastrectomy, monitoring their food intake and nutritional status for one year.
  • Average calorie intake increased significantly from 1,431.8 Kcal/day at one month to 2,225.4 Kcal/day at one year.

  • Patients exceeding 2,000 Kcal/day showed significant improvements in body weight, serum albumin, and total iron-binding capacity.

    • Impact:

    • Malnutrition is not an unavoidable outcome of total gastrectomy.
    • Optimizing calorie intake is directly linked to improved nutritional parameters and patient recovery.
    • Findings support tailored dietary guidance for gastric cancer patients undergoing gastrectomy to enhance outcomes.
