Core Tip
Core Tip: This study explored the effect of personalized nutritional care on the recovery of immune function in patients who underwent postoperative gastrointestinal (GI) surgery. These findings demonstrate significant improvements in immune function markers, nutritional status, and quality of life (QoL) among patients receiving personalized nutritional interventions. Specifically, there was an increase in CD4+ T-cell counts, decrease in interleukin-6 levels, reduction in postoperative complications, and enhanced QoL scores. This study underscores the importance of tailored nutritional interventions based on individual patient needs, optimizing outcomes following GI surgery.
