Study Arms (2)

Early oral nutrition

EXPERIMENTAL

An early oral nutrition with supplements and increased progressively according to an established schedule, start 48 hours after total gastrectomy.

Other: Early oral nutrition

control group

NO INTERVENTION

In our center, the classical postoperative management consisted in one week period of non oral intake and total parenteral nutrition. At the 7 day, an oral contrast image is performed to prove the correct function of the anastomosis, in witch case, a three days progressive oral diet is begin.

Interventions

An early oral nutrition with supplements and increased progressively according to an established schedule, start 48 hours after total gastrectomy.

Early oral nutrition
