Preoperative Nutritional Support in Esophagectomy or Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Esophagectomy, Pancreaticoduodenectomy

In brief

We are proposing to evaluate the benefit of preoperative nutritional support with Impact Advanced Recovery in the most vulnerable group of elective gastrointestinal surgery patients who may experience a complication, esophagus and pancreas resections, and hypothesize that oral supplementation with 3 servings (0.75 L) Impact Advanced Recovery will reduce postoperative stay by 10-20% and reduce the incidence of major complications by 25%.
