NCT06128798

Brief Summary

This is a randomised controlled clinical trial . The investigators aim to compare the effects of preoperative immune modulating enteral nutrition and standard oral nutrition supplement on clinical outcomes of the patients undergo colorectal cancer surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. 1.Does immunonutrition preoperatively facilitate earlier return of Gastrointestinal function?
  2. 2.Does immunonutrition significantly reduce risk of post-operative surgical site infections?
  3. 3.Does immunonutrition significantly reduce duration of hospital stay in patients undergoing colorectal surgery?
