Abstract

Objective: To analyze the effect of sequential early enteral nutrition in patients with gastric cancer after surgery. Methods: A total of 139 gastric cancer patients, treated between October 2021 and October 2023, were randomly selected and divided into two groups: Group A (68 cases, receiving early enteral nutrition) and Group B (71 cases, receiving sequential early enteral nutrition), using computer randomization. The effects of the interventions on both groups were compared. Results: Seven days post-operation, the levels of nutritional indicators in Group B were significantly higher than those in Group A (P < 0.05). Group B showed significantly better levels of inflammatory factors and immune factors compared to Group A seven days post-operation (P < 0.05). The postoperative complication rate in Group B was 4.23%, significantly lower than that in Group A, which was 16.18% (χ² = 5.477, P = 0.019). Conclusion: The utilization of sequential early enteral nutrition in gastric cancer patients after surgery demonstrated notable improvements in nutritional status and inflammation markers, along with enhanced immunity, effectively reducing postoperative complications.
