Study Arms (2)

Preoperative Immunonutrition

EXPERIMENTAL

Preoperative administration of a high-calorie, high-protein liquid oral nutritional supplement containing immunonutrients \[Impact® Oral (237 mL per serving); Nestlé Health Science - Creully Sur Seulles - France\]. Two units of Impact® Oral per day will be administered for 7 days before surgery.

Dietary Supplement: Immunonutrition

Preoperative Standard Oral Nutritional Supplement

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Preoperative administration of a standard high-calorie-high-protein liquid oral nutritional supplement \[Meritene® Protein Drink (200 mL per serving); Nestlé Health Science - Creully Sur Seulles - France\]. Two units of Meritene® Protein Drink per day will be administered for 7 days before surgery.

Dietary Supplement: Standard Oral Nutritional Supplement

Interventions

ImmunonutritionDIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

This formula is enriched in arginine, nucleotides (RNA) and omega-3 fatty acids and provides, with the proposed therapeutic volume (2 units per day), 36 grams of protein and 682 kcal/day.

Also known as: Impact® Oral
Preoperative Immunonutrition

This formula provides 38 grams of protein and 500 kcal/day with the proposed therapeutic volume.
