Core Tip
Core Tip: This retrospective study compared early enteral nutrition (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery [ERAS] protocol) with traditional parenteral nutrition in 66 patients undergoing gastrointestinal perforation repair. The observation group (n = 34) showed shorter times to first flatus and bowel movement, higher nutritional (prealbumin, albumin, hemoglobin) and immune markers (immunoglobulin A [IgA], IgM, IgG), and lower C-reactive protein levels on postoperative day 5 vs the control group (n = 32). Adverse reactions were lower in the observation group (8.82% vs 28.13%). Early enteral nutrition under ERAS improves recovery, nutritional status, immune function, and reduces inflammation with better safety.
