The purpose of the study is to assess the efficiency of the use of the Peptamen compound in the early post-operative period in patients with moderate and serious degrees of protein-energetic insufficiency, who underwent gastrectomy due to stomach cancer. Two groups of patients were studied differing by the method of nutritional support. The use of the Peptamen compound in the early post-operative period leads to the improvement of the absorption of nutrients, increase in the functional activity of the intestine and immunomodulation, and as a result of this, to the reduction of post-operative complications and fast restoration of homeostasis. | lld:pubmed |
