Identifies factors that influence prolonged nutritional support post-surgery, suggesting cost-saving interventions for patients.
This study identified factors associated with prolonged nutritional support after oesophagogastric surgery. As practice evolves towards minimally invasive surgery and enhanced recovery protocols with low complication rates, short-course adjuvant feeding may not be necessary for patients who progress promptly to appropriate oral intake. A tailored treatment pathway, excluding routine use of perioperative feeding adjuncts for low-risk patients may lead to considerable cost savings.
