Nutrition has very important role to play during health and disease state in human beings. Neonates and younger children are more prone to develop nutritional deficiencies. They have very critical reserves and are rapidly growing. Any surgical insult leads to multiple nutritional problems. Careful planning of nutritional management in a surgical patient is mandatory. Nutritional support should start from the day when the child develops the surgical condition to withstand stress of disease and surgical procedure. In the postoperative period nutritional support should start as early as possible. Start with small amount and build up gradually till the normal enteral nutrition (EN) is tolerated. When EN is not tolerated parenteral nutrition (PN) should be considered. Parenteral nutrition on short term basis is very important to tide over the crisis due to postoperative complications. Parenteral nutrition on long term basis is required in short bowel syndrome resulting from resection of large part of the gut. During PN, enteral nutrition should be continued in small amounts in order to maintain the integrity of mucosal lining of the gut. Enteral nutrition is more physiological and can provide adequate amount of immunonutrients, minerals and vitamins.
