Constant rate enteral feeding in the patient's home considerably shortens the stay of children in a specialized pediatric unit. A study of 111 children treated by this method for the past 5 years shows that, provided close co-operation with the family is obtained, obvious psychological benefits can be expected with little risk of technical complications. From an economic point of view, the method provides an effective means of reducing costs.

Gastrointestinal symptoms are some complications that can occur in enteral tube-fed patients. Blended tube feeds (BTFs) for children who are gastrotomy tube-fed have significantly increased in the last decade.

Objective: This study aimed to clarify whether nutritional status at admission affects enteral nutrition weaning 6 months after surgery in patients with esophageal cancer.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of 81 patients who underwent subtotal esophageal cancer resection between April 2014 and February 2016. The survey items were as follows: 1) sex, 2) age, 3) presence or absence of family members living together, 4) clinical stage, 5) surgical procedure, 6) reconstructed organs, 7) nutritional status at admission, 8) presence or absence of postoperative complications (anastomotic leakage, chylothorax, and recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis), and 9) presence or absence of treatment other than surgery (chemo- or radiotherapy).

Background: There is an increased maturation of laparoscopic intracorporeal anastomosis techniques. However, research on its application for small bowel stoma reversal in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) is limited. Therefore, in this study, we compared the perioperative outcomes between laparoscopic intracorporeal ileostomy reversal (LIIR) and open ileostomy reversal (OIR).

Objective: To explore the application of short-peptide enteral nutrition formulation in mechanically ventilated pediatric patients with severe pneumonia and its impact on rehabilitation outcomes, providing practical clinical evidence for the nutritional support strategy in critically ill pneumonia children.
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 90 neonatal pneumonia patients undergoing mechanical ventilation from May 2022 to December 2023. The patients were divided into an experimental group receiving short peptide enteral nutrition formulation via nasogastric tube and a control group receiving whole-protein enteral nutrition formulation via nasogastric tube.
