PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE OF THE PRE-AND POSTOPERATIVE NUTRITIONAL MANAGEMENT IN INFANTS AND CHILDREN

In spite of many advances in the pre-and postoperative managements for infants and children for last two decades, some patients in malnutrition failed to respond to the conventional surgical treatments. Until ten years ago, few numbers of pediatric surgeons knew that the only alternative for treating such patients was better nutritional management. However, today, every pediatric surgeon has recognised that the improvement of nutritional status of patients brings the better clinical results in the surgical treatment of infants and children.
In this paper, the historical consideration of the nutritional cares and our ten years clinical experience in infants and children with an intravenous nutrition and enteral elemental diets were presented, and the future conciderations of the nutritional management in the surgical pediatrics was discussed.
