Detailed Description

Aim of our study was to investigate the feasibility of a prehabilitation policy to optimize protein energetic reserves in a group of patients affected by primary localized RPS, candidate to a multiple organ resection surgery, as well as the feasibility of a standardized nutritional postoperative caloric target and its adequacy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: Primary retroperitoneal sarcoma
All eligible patients are screened in preoperative phase, at least 30 days before surgery, for presence of protein energetic malnutrition (PEM). PEM is defined according to biochemical and physiological parameters (Table). 3 class of PEM are identified: no PEM, mild PEM and serious PEM. Different nutritional oral supplements are provided according to the degree of malnutrition.
Preoperative oral nutritional support is provided according to malnutrition grade
