Reduction of Postoperative Complication Rate with the Use of Early Oral Feeding in Gynecologic Oncologic Patients Undergoing a Major Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract

On the basis of these findings, the policy of EOF should be used after a complex gynecologic oncologic laparotomy.

Effect of early oral feeding after gastric cancer surgery: A result of randomized clinical trial

“…25,26 Recent studies of gynecologic surgery with or without intestinal resection have evaluated the effect of postoperative early oral feeding on QOL at 1 month postoperatively but did not show significant improvement. 24,27 We investigated WOL immediately and at 1 month after operation and found an early improvement in the symptoms of nausea and vomiting in patients with early oral feeding. We assume that this result might be correlated with the faster recovery of bowel movement caused by early oral intake.…”

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery for Advanced Ovarian Cancer: A Systematic Review of Interventions Trialed

“…31 Surgery ranged from radical hysterectomy with retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy 20,21 to cytoreductive surgery with upper abdominal surgery and bowel resection. 16 Patients undergoing bowel resection were excluded in 3 studies. 17,20,21 Details of the early feeding intervention varied substantially between studies.…”

Nutrition in Gynecologic Cancer

“…There was no difference in the rate of postoperative complications including anastomotic leak and a reduction in the hospital stay of 2.2 days in the early feeding group. A meta-analysis by the Cochrane Collaboration published in 2014 included 623 women from 5 randomized prospective controlled trials who underwent open gynecologic surgery [18][19][20][21][22]. The meta-analysis found a 0.92 day decrease in hospital stay associated with early feeding.…”
