Article Synopsis
- * A review of nine randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 529 patients indicated no significant differences in mortality, anastomosis leakage, respiratory issues, or vomiting, though results regarding gastric emptying time (GET) presented mixed findings.
- * The study suggests that pyloric drainage is not essential in these operations, but emphasizes the need for further research, especially in European contexts, to draw more definitive conclusions.
Background: Neoadjuvant therapy is an essential modality for reducing the clinical stage of esophageal cancer; however, the superiority of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) or neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) is unclear. Therefore, a discussion of these two modalities is necessary.
Aim: To investigate the benefits and complications of neoadjuvant modalities.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the benefits of early oral feeding (EOF) versus late oral feeding after upper gastrointestinal surgeries for stomach and oesophageal cancer, focusing on recovery outcomes.
- Researchers reviewed 6 randomized control trials (RCTs) with 703 patients and found EOF led to faster recovery indicators like the appearance of gas and defecation, as well as shorter hospital stays.
- No significant difference in serious complications such as anastomosis leakage or infections was found between EOF and late feeding, suggesting EOF is safe and beneficial for patient recovery.
