Interventions

Special diet plan and whole protein preparation NUTRICIA for 5 days after liver resection for liver cancer, Conventional dietary intervention

Summary

Objective:To explore the application effect of postoperative refined early dietary plan in the enhanced recovery of patients undergoing hepatectomy for primary liver cancer, and to provide scientific evidence for optimizing postoperative dietary structure and increasing oral energy intake of patients.

Methods:In this randomized, parallel-controlled trial, 142 colorectal cancer survivors meeting inclusion criteria were recruited from a tertiary hospital in Hefei, Anhui Province. Participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the dietary intervention group or the conventional diet group. Both the standard care group and the dietary intervention group received 5 days of routine dietary care. The dietary intervention group additionally received specialized meal plans and whole protein supplements beyond the standard care regimen. Dietary intake, nutritional status, and postoperative recovery outcomes were measured and compared between the two groups.
