Abstract

Objective To analyze the clinical value of postoperative enteral nutrition (EN) in patients with gastric carcinoma. Methods Ninety patients with gastric carcinoma who underwent operation and required nutrition support were randomly divided into enteral nutrition (EN) group and parenteral nutrition (PN) group, and received isonitrogenic and isocalorie nutrition. Nutritional status were closely monitored before and after operation. Results The changes of body weight, arm muscle circumference(AMC), triceps skinfold(TSF) and hemoglobin were more obvions in PN group, but there was no significant difference between two groups (P 0.05). Decreases of albumin and glutamine were more evident in PN group than those in EN group (P=0.02,0.009). The morbidity rate was 8.9%in EN group, and was 26.7%in PN group (P=0.03). Conclusion Compared with PN support, EN can reduce the postoperative complications and improve the effect of the operation.
