      abstract = {This volume provides readers with the necessary  information to select the most appropriate nutritional  support following gastrointestinal tract surgery. Most  patients are worried about resuming oral intake,  particularly when the surgery has altered the GI tract  normal physiology removing organs (e.g. total colectomy) or  part of them, or modifying the natural sequence of the  different GI tract parts (e.g. after esophagectomy or  pancreatectomy). Patients may also worry about the possible  complications of an inappropriate alimentation. As a matter  of fact, several metabolic processes can be modified by GI  tract surgery (e.g. major liver resection or  pancreatectomy), thus making the nutritional support  essential: and the same support is fundamental in bariatric  surgery, nowadays widely used for super-obese patients.  There is therefore a need for a nutritional guide in  surgery and in troubleshooting postoperative cases where  nutrition is a major issue This book offers nutritionists  insights into the possible alterations of GI tract  physiology occurring after surgery, and will be a valuable  resource for surgeons, gastroenterologists,  coloproctologists, nutritionists and clinical specialist  nurses, seeking guidance on postoperative nutrition.},
