Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the overall efficacy of early enteral nutrition support on the nutritional status of patients following gallstone surgery, providing a theoretical basis for its application in postoperative care. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 98 hospitalized patients who underwent gallstone surgery between February 2021 and March 2023. The patients were divided into two groups: the study group, which received early nutritional intervention, and the control group, which started nutritional support three days post-surgery. The primary objective was to assess nutritional status, while secondary objectives included gastrointestinal function, immune function markers, and the incidence of postoperative and gastrointestinal complications. Nutritional status, gastrointestinal function, immune function, and complications were compared between the two groups before and one week after intervention. Results: After the intervention, the study group showed significantly higher levels of total protein (TP), prealbumin (PAB), albumin (ALB), transferrin (TF), and body mass index (BMI) compared to the control group (P 0.05), these immune markers were significantly higher in the study group post-intervention (P
