Abstract
Surgical patients are at an increased risk of negative outcomes if they are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition preoperatively. Optimisation of nutritional status should be a focus throughout the perioperative continuum to promote improved surgical outcomes. Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) protocols are increasingly applied in the surgical setting but are not yet widespread. This narrative review focused on areas of perioperative nutrition that are perceived as controversial or are lacking in agreement. A search for available literature was conducted on 1 March 2022 and relevant high-quality articles published since 2015 were considered for inclusion. Most malnutrition screening tools are not specific to the surgical population except for the Perioperative Nutrition Screen (PONS) although more large-scale initiatives are needed to improve the prevalence of preoperative nutrition screening. Poor muscle health is common in patients with malnutrition and further exacerbates negative health outcomes indicating that prevention, detection and treatment is of high importance in this population. Although a lack of consensus remains for who should receive preoperative nutritional therapy, evidence suggests a positive impact on muscle health. Additionally, postoperative nutritional support benefits surgical outcomes, with some patients requiring enteral and/or parenteral feeding routes and showing benefit from immunonutrition. The importance of nutrition extends beyond the time in hospital and should remain a priority post-discharge. The impact of individual or personalised nutrition based on select patient characteristics remains to be further investigated. Overall, the importance of perioperative nutrition is evident in the literature despite select ongoing areas of contention.
