Why the study?
Does laparoscopic colorectal surgery increase perioperative insulin resistance, and is preoperative carbohydrate loading necessary?
Does laparoscopic colorectal surgery increase perioperative insulin resistance, and is preoperative carbohydrate loading necessary?
Laparoscopic colorectal surgery does not significantly increase perioperative insulin resistance, suggesting that preoperative carbohydrate loading may not be strictly necessary for these minimally invasive procedures.
Should not yet alter perioperative nutrition protocols in laparoscopic colorectal surgery; leaves open whether preoperative carbohydrate loading can be safely omitted.
