Abstract

Nutritional support differs for patients electing to have gastrointestinal surgical procedures and patients with abdominal trauma injuries. Trauma patients can rehabilitate more quickly than patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgeries, despite the traumatic injuries that require surgical intervention. This literature review examines and evaluates the clinical practice and management of these patients and the consequences of surgical nutritional deprivation.
