Abstract

Although current opinion favours the use of enteral over parenteral nutrition, the clinical benefits of early postoperative nutrition in patients undergoing elective surgery have never been clearly shown. We aimed to test the hypothesis that postoperative enteral nutrition is better (fewer postoperative complications) than parenteral nutrition containing similar energy and nitrogen amounts (112 kJ kg(-1) day(-1) and 1.4 g aminoacid kg(-1) day(-1)).
