Abstract

The aim of this paper was to determine the impact of early oral feeding after elective colorectal surgery on  postoperative bowel function  recovery and  peroperative  morbidity. Material and methods: A total of 100 patients with diagnosed colorectal carcinoma and standard preoperative and operative procedure were enrolled  in this prospective randomized study. The patients were divided in 2 groups: experimental and control group. Experimental group started with liquid oral intake within the first 24 postoperative hours and continued to regular diet within the next 24-48 hours as tolerated. Control group started with oral intake after resolution of postoperative ileus. Postoperative bowel function recovery, length of hospitalization, individual and overall number of peroperative complications and readmiossion within 30 days period were assessed. Results: Both groups were similar in terms of gender, age, diagnosis and surgical procedure (p>0,05). Regarding the bowel function recovery, earlier bowel movements 1,18±0,39 vs. 2,14±0,53, first passage of flatus 1,90±0,65 vs. 3,34±1,06 and first stool 3,24±1,33 vs. 5,28±1,83 were observed in the early feeding group of patients (p<0,001). There was no difference in complications individually, but overall number of complications 3 vs. 10 (p=0,04) was lesser and hospitalization 7,48±2,47 vs. 9,88±3,66  (p<0.001) was shorter in the early feeding group. Conclusion: Early postoperative oral feeding in patients with colorectal carcinoma results in earlier bowel function recovery, gradually decreased peroperative morbidity and shortened hospitalization.
