Abstract
Background Enhanced recovery after surgery is used in gastrointestinal surgery. This study aimed to access the effects of early liquid drinking (ELD) on gastrointestinal function recovery in patients with gastric cancer (GC) who underwent radical gastrectomy, as high-quality evidence on the outcomes of ELD after gastrectomy is currently lacking. Methods Clinicopathological data of patients with GC from 11 centers were retrospectively analysed. Clinical outcomes were investigated in 555 patients, including 225 who started drinking liquid within 48 h (ELD group) of surgery and 330 who started drinking liquid after flatus resumption (traditional liquid drinking [TLD] group). Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed using a match ratio of 1:1 and 201 patients were selected from each group for the analysis. Primary outcome was time to first passage of flatus. Secondary outcomes included time to first defecation, post-operative hospitalization days, occurrence of short-term post-operative complications, and hospitalization costs. Results After PSM, baseline characteristics were not significantly different between the two groups. The time to first flatus (2.72 ± 1.08 vs 3.36 ± 1.39 days), first defecation (4.34 ± 1.85 vs 4.77 ± 1.61 days), and post-operative hospital stay (8.27 ± 4.02 vs 12.94 ± 4.43 days) were shorter in the ELD group than in the TLD group (all P < 0.05). The ELD group had lower hospitalization costs than the TLD group ([7.83 ± 2.44 vs 8.78 ± 3.41] × 104 RMB, P = 0.041). No significant differences were observed in the incidence of post-operative complications. Conclusions Compared with TLD, post-operative ELD could promote rapid recovery of gastrointestinal function and reduce hospitalization costs; moreover, ELD does not increase the risk of post-operative complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early oral feeding has been shown to be safe and effective for most surgeries, while surgeons and nurses are still hesitant to implement it in gastric cancer patients who undergo gastrectomy. OBJECTIVES This review aimed to investigate the safety and feasibility of early versus delayed oral feeding in gastric cancer patients after gastrectomy. DESIGN A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. DATA SOURCES The literature search was performed in 7 databases from inception to March 7, 2021. REVIEW METHODS Randomized controlled trials that compared the effects of early oral feeding and delayed oral feeding in gastric cancer patients who undergo gastrectomy were included. The primary outcome was hospital days, and secondary outcomes included hospital costs, postoperative complication rates, feeding intolerance rates, annal exhaust time, albumin levels and prealbumin levels. According to the presence of heterogeneity, fixed or random effect meta-analysis was applied. RESULTS Nine trials involving 1087 gastric cancer patients who undergo gastrectomy were pooled in this systemic review and meta-analysis. The results showed that early oral feeding significantly decreased hospital days (mean difference = -1.50, 95% confidence interval = -1.91 to -1.10, P < 0.001) and hospital costs (mean difference = -4.21, 95% confidence interval = -5.00 to -3.42, P < 0.001) compared to delayed oral feeding, while the incidences of postoperative complications (risk ratio = 0.96, 95% confidence interval = 0.72 to 1.26, P = 0.76) and feeding intolerance (risk ratio = 0.95, 95% confidence interval = 0.79 to 1.15, P = 0.62) were comparable between the two groups. In comparison to delayed oral feeding, early oral feeding was associated with shorter annal exhaust time (mean difference = -0.61, 95% confidence interval = -0.81 to -0.40, P < 0.001) and higher levels of albumin (mean difference = 3.77, 95% confidence interval = 2.42 to 5.12, P < 0.001) and prealbumin (mean difference = 18.11, 95% confidence interval = 15.33 to 20.88, P < 0.001). Furthermore, the results of distal gastrectomy subgroup analysis indicated that hospital days were shorter in the early oral feeding group than in the delayed oral feeding group. CONCLUSIONS For gastric cancer patients who undergo gastrectomy, early oral feeding was associated with shorter hospital days and lower hospital costs, but early oral feeding did not increase the incidences of postoperative complications or feeding intolerance. Moreover, early oral feeding also decreased the annal exhaust time but increased the levels of albumin and prealbumin.

Early postoperative feeding following surgery for upper gastrointestinal cancer: A systematic review. J Hum Nutr Diet 2021; 35:33-48. [PMID: 34089207 DOI: 10.1111/jhn.12930] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2021] [Revised: 05/06/2021] [Accepted: 05/14/2021] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
Nutrition post major upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancer surgery is a significant consideration known to affect postoperative recovery and the ability to tolerate adjuvant treatment. This systematic review assessed the effect of early oral feeding (EOF), compared to traditional timing of oral feeding, following major surgery for UGI cancer on postoperative complications, postoperative length of hospital stay (LOS), nutritional status and quality of life (QOL). The literature was searched up to March 9th 2020 using CINHAL, PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science databases. Quality assessment was completed using the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics quality criteria checklist. Fifteen articles were included, consisting of seven randomised controlled trials, six cohort studies and two non-randomised trials, with a total of 2517 participants. The type and timing of EOF varied considerably across studies with limited reporting of energy and protein intakes from oral or enteral feeding. Fourteen studies assessed postoperative complications of which 13 reported no difference between EOF and standard care. Fourteen studies assessed postoperative LOS and of these, 13 reported a reduced length of stay in the EOF group. Four of 15 studies assessing nutritional status found no difference between groups. Three of 15 studies assessed QOL with inconsistent findings. This review found EOF reduced postoperative LOS and did not increase postoperative complications. However, the optimal timing for the introduction of EOF could not be established. Furthermore, the type of EOF varied considerably making comparison across studies challenging and demonstrates a need for internationally standardised definitions.

World J Gastroenterol 2020; 26:5508-5519. [PMID: 33024401 PMCID: PMC7520607 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v26.i36.5508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2020] [Revised: 06/10/2020] [Accepted: 08/29/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) is a heavy burden in China. Nutritional support for GC patients is closely related to postoperative rehabilitation. However, the role of early oral feeding after laparoscopic radical total gastrectomy in GC patients is unclear and high-quality research evidence is scarce.
AIM To prospectively explore the safety, feasibility and short-term clinical outcomes of early oral feeding after laparoscopic radical total gastrectomy for GC patients.
METHODS This study was a prospective cohort study conducted between January 2018 and December 2019 based in a high-volume tertiary hospital in China. A total of 206 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical total gastrectomy for GC were enrolled. Of which, 105 patients were given early oral feeding (EOF group) after surgery, and the other 101 patients were given the traditional feeding strategy (control group) after surgery. Perioperative clinical data were recorded and analyzed. The primary endpoints were gastrointestinal function recovery time and postoperative complications, and the secondary endpoints were postoperative nutritional status, length of hospital stay and expenses, etc.
RESULTS Compared with the control group, patients in the EOF group had a significantly shorter postoperative first exhaust time (2.48 ± 1.17 d vs 3.37 ± 1.42 d, P = 0.001) and first defecation time (3.83 ± 2.41 d vs 5.32 ± 2.70 d, P = 0. 004). In addition, the EOF group had a significant shorter postoperative hospitalization duration (5.85 ± 1.53 d vs 7.71 ± 1.56 d, P < 0.001) and lower postoperative hospitalization expenses (16.60 ± 5.10 K¥ vs 21.00 ± 7.50 K¥, P = 0.014). On the 5th day after surgery, serum prealbumin level (214.52 ± 22.47 mg/L vs 204.17 ± 20.62 mg/L, P = 0.018), serum gastrin level (246.30 ± 57.10 ng/L vs 223.60 ± 55.70 ng/L, P = 0.001) and serum motilin level (424.60 ± 68.30 ng/L vs 409.30 ± 61.70 ng/L, P = 0.002) were higher in the EOF group. However, there was no significant difference in the incidence of total postoperative complications between the two groups (P = 0.507).
CONCLUSION Early oral feeding after laparoscopic radical total gastrectomy can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, improve postoperative nutritional status, reduce length of hospital stay and expenses while not increasing the incidence of related complications, which indicates its safety, feasibility and potential benefits for gastric cancer patients.

Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study is to explore the safety and feasibility of early oral feeding (EOF) on short-term postoperative outcomes. Trial design: A prospective randomized non-inferiority trial. Materials and methods: From August 27, 2015 to March 31, 2017, 100 consecutive patients with gastric cancer in Xijing Hospital were recruited. Patients undergoing total laparoscopic radical gastrectomy (TLRG) received either EOF group or delayed oral feeding (DOF group). The endpoints were anastomotic leakage, the recovery of bowel function, the postoperative complications and costs. The process of randomization used a computer-generated sequence that was kept in a sealed envelope by a nurse that did not participate in the trial. None of the participants, administrators of interventions and those assessing outcomes was blinded. Results: Ultimately, 51 patients were in EOF group and 49 in DOF group, which both are comparable. The postoperative hospital stay in EOF group was significantly lower than DOF group (5.18±1.47 days vs 6.18±2.46 days, P=0.016). Furthermore, there was a trend for a reduction in the time of first flatus (10.3 hrs) and defecation (12.7 hrs) in EOF group compared to DOF group, but it was not statistically significant. Meanwhile, there were no significant differences in postoperative complications between two groups. One patient in the EOF group developed a fistula in the surgical remnant, which was recorded as other leakages; there was no difference between the two groups (P=0.582). Conclusion: EOF does not seem to be more harmful than DOF, and might significantly improve the short-term outcomes for patients receiving TLRG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early oral feeding (EOF) is believed to be a crucial item of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs. Though this is widely accepted for colorectal surgery, evidence for early oral feeding after gastrectomy is scarce. The aim of this review is to assess the evidence of safety and benefits of early oral feeding after gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer. METHODS A systematic literature search of Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane was performed for eligible studies published till September 2018. Studies were analyzed and selected by predetermined criteria. RESULTS After having assessed 23 eligible articles, a total of four randomized controlled trials (RCT) remained who fully met all requirements to be included in this review. All four RCTs compared early oral feeding (n = 320) with conventional care (n = 334) after gastrectomy. In all four studies, EOF was associated with a decreased length of hospital stay ranging from -1.3 to -2.5 days when compared to conventional care. A faster time to first flatus was recorded in all four studies in the EOF group, ranging from -6.5 hours to -1.5 days. Furthermore, EOF does not increase postoperative complication risk when compared to conventional care. CONCLUSION Current evidence for early oral feeding after gastrectomy is promising, proving its safety, feasibility and benefits. However, most studies have been conducted amongst an Asian population. Well powered and larger randomized controlled trials performed amongst a Western population is needed.

Abstract
Background Perioperative enteral nutrition (EN) enriched with immune-modulating substrates is preferable for patients undergoing major abdominal cancer surgery. In this study, perioperative EN enriched with immune-modulating nutrients such as arginine, glutamine, and omega-3 fatty acids was evaluated for its anti-inflammatory efficacy in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma or gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) receiving curative surgery. Materials and Methods This prospective, randomized, double-blind study recruited 34 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma or gastric GIST undergoing elective curative surgery. These patients were randomly assigned to the study group, receiving immune-modulating nutrient-enriched EN, or the control group, receiving standard EN from 3 days before surgery (preoperative day 3) to up to postoperative day 14 or discharge. Laboratory and inflammatory parameters were assessed on preoperative day 3 and postoperative day 14 or at discharge. Adverse events (AEs) and clinical outcomes were documented daily and compared between groups. Results No significant differences were observed between the two groups in selected laboratory and inflammatory parameters, or in their net change, before and after treatment. AEs and clinical outcomes, including infectious complications, overall complications, time to first bowel action, and length of hospital stay after surgery, were comparable between treatment groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusion Immune-modulating nutrient-enriched EN had no prominent immunomodulation effect compared with that of standard EN.

Siotos C, Stergios K, Naska A, Frountzas M, Pergialiotis V, Perrea DN, Nikiteas N. The impact of fast track protocols in upper gastrointestinal surgery: A meta-analysis of observational studies. Surgeon 2018; 16:183-192. [PMID: 29337046 DOI: 10.1016/j.surge.2017.12.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2017] [Revised: 10/01/2017] [Accepted: 12/01/2017] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fast track surgery has been implemented in colorectal procedures during the last decade and is accompanied by significant improvement in patient outcomes during the early postoperative period. However, to date, its adoption in upper gastrointestinal surgery remains a matter of debate. In this context, we aimed to summarize the existing evidence in the international literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched Medline, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov and Cochrane Central Register databases for published randomized controlled trials. The meta-analysis was performed with the RevMan 5.3.5 software. MAIN FINDINGS Thirty studies were finally included in the present meta-analysis. The post-operative morbidity was not influenced by the implementation of fast track surgery (FTS) (OR 0.84, 95% CI 0.64-1.09). However, in cases treated with laparoscopic surgery fast track surgery seemed to reduce morbidity by 50% (p = .006). The overall mortality of patients was low in the majority of included studies and was not influenced by fast track surgery (OR 1.12, 95% CI 0.50-2.52). The duration of postoperative hospitalization was significantly reduced with the adoption of FTS (MD -2.24, 95% CI -2.63 to -1.85 days). Concurrently, the overall cost was significantly reduced in cases treated with FTS (MD -982.30, 95% CI -1367.68 to -596.91 U.S dollars). CONCLUSION According to the findings of our meta-analysis suggest that FTS seems to be safe in patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal surgery and reduce both the days of postoperative hospitalization and the overall cost. This observation should be taken into account in future recommendations to enhance the implementation of FTS protocols in current clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There are currently no standardized guidelines for adequately determining the fasting period following gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The aim of this study was to determine the appropriate fasting period. METHODS The enrolled patients were randomized into a short and a long-fasting group. In the short-fasting group, patients had fasted until the day after the ESD. In the long-fasting group, patients had fasted until 2 days after the ESD. A second-look endoscopy was performed immediately prior to starting to eat meals. The primary end-point was the measurement of discomfort-related ESD after starting meals such as epigastric pain, heartburn, regurgitation, nausea and vomiting. Secondary end-points included the bleeding rate after starting meals, hospital stay, patient satisfaction and hemostasis upon second-look endoscopy. RESULTS We analyzed data from 101 of 110 randomized patients. Both groups demonstrated similar baseline characteristics. There were no significant differences in reports of epigastric pain, heartburn, regurgitation, nausea and vomiting after starting meals. Both groups demonstrated similar hemostasis rates upon second-look endoscopy (26% vs 31.4%, P = 0.551) and bleeding rate (4% vs 0%, P = 0.149). The duration of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the short-fasting group (4.3 days vs 5.1 days, P < 0.001), and patient satisfaction was greater (P = 0.003) than in the long-fasting group. CONCLUSIONS A short fasting protocol does not cause discomfort related to ESD or influence post-ESD bleeding. Moreover, the short fasting protocol results in shorter hospital stays and greater patient satisfaction.

Abstract
Comprehensive surveys on perioperative care in Japan, including that in community or private hospitals, have not been reported, and current trends remain unclear. The present survey was designed to investigate current routines for perioperative care in patients who undergo surgery for gastric cancer in Kanagawa, Japan. A questionnaire was designed specifically to obtain information on perioperative routines in patients with gastric cancer throughout Kanagawa. A total of 55 hospitals in Kanagawa responded. Most hospitals perform antimicrobial prophylaxis every 3 hours intraoperatively, use a postoperative drainage tube, use a urinary catheter for only 2 days after surgery, administer epidural anesthesia, and encourage early mobilization. Liquid intake until 3 hours before surgery is not allowed in most hospitals. Most hospitals do not routinely provide preoperative nutrition support, perform bowel mechanical preparation, administer prophylaxis against thromboembolism, place a postoperative nasogastric tube, attempt to maintain normovolemia, or administer planned nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The day of restarting drinking or eating varies considerably. Many elements of perioperative management, especially postoperative oral nutrition, have yet to be standardized for patients with gastric cancer in Japan. There are great gaps between clinical practice and evidence-based practice in fluid management and drain usage.

Abstract
The incidence and mortality of gastric cancer have been steadily decreased over the past few decades. However, gastric cancer is still one of the leading causes of cancer deaths across many regions of the world, particularly in Asian countries. In previous studies, nutrition has been considered one of significant risk factors in gastric cancer patients. Especially, malnourished patients are at greater risk of adverse clinical outcomes (e.g., longer hospital stay) and higher incidence of complications (e.g., wound/infectious complications) compared to well-nourished patients. Malnutrition is commonly found in advanced gastric cancer patients due to poor absorption of essential nutrients after surgery. Therefore, nutritional support protocols, such as early oral and enternal feeding, have been proposed in many studies, to improve unfavorable clinical outcomes and to reduce complications due to delayed application of oral nutritional support or parental feeding. Also, the supplied with enternal immune-enriched diet had more benefits in improving clinical outcomes and fewer complications compared to a group supplied with control formula. Using nutritional screening tools, such as nutritional risk index (NRI) and nutritional risk screening (NRS 2002), malnourished patients showed higher incidence of complications and lower survival rates than non-malnourished patients. However, a long-term nutritional intervention, such as nutritional counseling, was not effective in the patients. Therefore, early assessment of nutritional status in patients using a proper nutritional screening tool is suggested to prevent malnutrition and adverse health outcomes. Further studies with numerous ethnic groups may provide stronger scientific evidences in association between nutritional care and recovery from surgery in patients with gastric cancer.
