Abstract
Introduction: Gut anastomosis is one of the commonly performed surgeries which is carried out in elective set up as well as in emergency setup. Conventionally the practice of following Gut anastomosis in the patients need to be kept Nil by Mouth until the returning of the bowel sounds. Clinical studies says that while starvation is responsible for diminishing the quality of healing, feeding on the other hand, tends to reverse the mucosal atrophy which is being induced due to starvation and furthermore maximizes the deposition and strength of anastomotic collagen 2 and the anastomotic leaks along with lower rates of infection helps in shortening the duration of hospital stay and that further reduces the cost of treatment. Materials and Methods: Study will be conducted on 64 patients of bowel perforation, requiring exploratory laparotomy, attending the surgical OPD and emergency of TMMC&RC, Moradabad. Relevant clinical examination, pre-op and intra-operative finding will be noted. Role of enteral feeding timing in operated cases of Bowel perforation will be observed. Post-operatively patients will be observed for timing of first oral feeding. Patients will be assessed in two groups according to timing of feeding i.e. within 72 hours and after 72 hours. Patients will be assessed in terms of Length of hospital stay, Biochemical parameters changes, Post-operative complications. Results: Post-operative observations and results were recorded and analyzed for post op albumin, length of hospital stay and complications like leakage, vomiting. Conclusion: This study has been performed for increasing the knowledge of the influence of early nutrition therapy in regards to the post op complications and focusing on the short duration of hospital stay for the cases of Bowel perforation.
