Parenteral n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids supplementation improves postoperative recovery for patients with Crohn's disease after bowel resection: a randomized, unblinded controlled clinical trial.

Background: The postoperative inflammatory response is associated with postoperative recovery in surgery. n-3 (ω-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids have been reported to lower inflammation. The postoperative role of parenteral n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids supplementation on outcomes in Crohn's disease after bowel resection is unclear.

Sarcopenia assessed by computed tomography is associated with colectomy in patients with acute severe ulcerative colitis.

Background: Altered body composition is an important characteristic of malnutrition that may better reflect the clinical course. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic role of sarcopenia by computed tomography (CT) on colectomy in acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) during index hospitalization and follow-up.

Methods: 254 ASUC patients undergoing CT scans at admission were retrospectively included.

Prognostic significance of the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score in predicting postoperative complications in patients with Crohn's disease.

Preoperative immune-nutritional status is correlated with postoperative outcomes. The Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score is a useful tool for predicting the postoperative outcomes of cancer surgery. This study aimed to evaluate whether the CONUT score could predict postoperative complications in Crohn's disease (CD) patients.

The role of exclusive enteral nutrition in the preoperative optimization of laparoscopic surgery for patients with Crohn's disease: A cohort study.

Background: Growing evidence has shown that there are significant advantages associated with the use of laparoscopic surgery for Crohn's disease (CD). However, the impact of preoperative exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) on postoperative complications and CD recurrence following laparoscopic surgery have not been investigated.

Methods: A total of 120 CD patients undergoing bowel resection with laparoscopic surgery were eligible for this study.
