Abstract:

During the past half century, surgeons have demonstrated the greatest interest and have made the most concerted effort in developing innovative, comprehensive, and effective methods for providing adequate nutritional support to patients in the widest range of clinical conditions and situations. Several factors account for the continual stimulation of thoughtful surgeons and physicians to maintain or improve the nutritional status of their patients.
