A clinical comparative study of enteral nutrition and total parenteral nutrition in radical gastrectomy

Objective To investigate the radical gastrectomy enteral nutrition(EN) and parenteral nutrition(TPN) on postoperative recovery of patients with effect.Methods A retrospective analysis of 2004 may to 2011 May after radical operation of gastric cancer patients with 75 cases,divided into enteral nutrition and total parenteral nutrition group,respectively,in the first days before operation and on postoperative day first,day 7 on serum albumin(g/L),serum total lymphocyte count(x109/L) and anal exhaust time,the incidence of postoperative complications and hospital costs were compared.Results Enteral nutrition and total parenteral nutrition group of patients with postoperative nutritional status and the incidence of postoperative complications was not significantly different(P0.05),but the recovery of bowel function than the latter soon,hospitalization costs are lower in the latter(P0.05).Conclusion Enteral nutrition on nutritional support in patients after radical operation of gastric cancer with parenteral nutrition is as safe and effective,but can promote the recovery of intestinal function,decrease the cost of hospitalization.
