Interest of PReOPerative Immunonutrition in Liver Surgery for Cancer (PROPILS)

October 10, 2018 updated by: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Interest of Preoperative Immunonutrition in Liver Resection for Cancer

To study the efficacy of preoperative immunonutrition in reducing postoperative morbidity after liver resection for cancer.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Perioperative immunonutrition has been developed to improve the immuno metabolic host response and outcome in postoperative period and has been proven to be beneficial in reducing significantly postoperative infectious complications and length of hospital stay in patients undergoing elective gastrointestinal surgery for tumors. To date, the effects of preoperative oral immunonutrition (ORAL IMPACT) in non cirrhotic patients undergoing liver resection for cancer are unknown. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the administration of a short-term preoperative oral immunonutrition can reduce postoperative morbidity in non-cirrhotic patients undergoing liver resection for malignant tumours.
