Normally, fistula is defined as an abnormal communication between two epithelized surface.But enterocutaneous fistula is an abnormal communication between the skin with various parts of the gut. The ileum is the most common site of origin of enterocutaneous fistula.
Minimally invasive/accessed surgery comprises of robotic and non robotic surgery. Non robotic surgery includes laparoscopy, endoscopy, arthroscopy and etc.
This presentation gives a fine description about stoma and ostomy. This contains the details regarding types, complications and the advices that you should give to a patient with a stoma.
Nutrition is a very important factor which affects surgical outcome.A careful assessment is essential before contemplating any GI procedure.The whole process of healing depends upon the quality of nutritional support given to the patient. The presentation provides aoverview of the importanat role of nutrition.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

3. BASICS OF NUTRITION
Nutrition is the process of providing or obtaining the
foods necessary for health and growth.
The general indications for nutritional support in
surgery are in the prevention and treatment of under
nutrition.
Clinical Nutrition (2003) 22(3): 235–239
4. Normal functioning of human body requires a balance
between nutritional intake and metabolism
Imbalances will manifest as nutritional deficiencies or
excess
5. NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Calories provided mainly by carbohydrate and fat
Fat = 9 kcal/ g
Carbohydrate = 4 kcal/ g
Protein = 4 kcal/ g
Daily caloric requirements: 30-35kcal/kg
Metabolic stress associated with sepsis, trauma, surgery or ventilation lead to
increase energy requirement (35-40kcal/kg/day)
Medical Nutrition Therapy Guideline (2012)
6. MALNUTRITION
Malnutrition :
condition that develops when the body does not get the right
amount of the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients it
needs to maintain healthy tissues and organ function.
Can occur in people who are either undernourished or over-
nourished

25. EARLY EN VS DELAYED EN
Initiate nutritional support ( by the enteral route if possible)
without delay:
Even in patients without obvious under nutrition, if it is
anticipated that the patient will be unable to eat for more
than 7 days
In patients who cannot maintain oral intake above 60% of
recommended intake for more than 10 days.

27. BASICS OF PARENTERAL
FEEDING
Delivery of all nutritional requirements by IV route without
the use of GIT (bypass GIT)
Sterile liquid chemical formula
May be delivered via :
- Central line
- Peripheral line
28. INDICATIONS
GIT Malfunction
OBSTRUCTED - Ca esophagus/stomach, stricture
FISTULATED - post op enterocutaneous fistula, high output fistulas
INFLAMMED - small bowel disease ex, crohn’s disease, acute severe pancreatitis
TOO SHORT - massive resection, short gut syndrome
Pre operative : build up of malnourished patient
Failure enteral feeding to meet caloric requirement
- major polytrauma, major burns
Cancer : complication of chemotherapy, radiotherapy
Newborns
- GIT anomalies, NEC
29. PRE OPERATIVE PN
Indicated in :
Severely undernourished patients who cannot be adequately
enterally fed
Studies have shown that :
Inadequate oral intake of >14 days = higher mortality
7-10 days of preoperative PN = improves postoperative outcome
in severe undernourished patient
ESPEN Guidelines of Parenteral Nutrition 2009
30. POST OPERATIVE PN
Indicated in:
Undernourished patients = enteral nutrition is not feasible / not
tolerated
Patients with postoperative complications
= impairing gastrointestinal function -> unable to receive and
absorb adequate amounts of oral/enteral feeding for at least 7
days
Post operative PN is life saving in patients with
prolonged gastrointestinal failure.
ESPEN Guidelines of Parenteral Nutrition 2009
31. PN IS CONTRAINDICATED IN:PN IS CONTRAINDICATED IN:
Functional and accessible GI tract
Patient is taking orally
Prognosis does not warrant aggressive nutrition support
(terminally ill patients)
Risk exceeds benefit
Patient expected to meet needs within 14 days
32. TYPES OF PARENTERAL
NUTRITION
Total Parenteral Nutrition Partial Parenteral Nutrition
Supplies all daily nutritional
requirement
Only part of the daily nutritional
requirements supplied,
supplementing oral intake ~ 50-70%
of patient’s energy needs
Central line Peripheral line
Long term support (>10 days) Short term support (10-14 days)
Hypertonic solutions with high
osmolarity
Formulation with low osmolarity
(< 900mOsm/L )
33. CALORY REQUIREMENT
Estimating energy requirement
( Harris- Benedict Equation)
Men BMR =66.47 + 13.7 wt + 5.0 ht - 6.76 age
Women BMR =65.5 + 9.56 wt + 1.85 ht - 4.68 age
Wt = weight in kg, ht = height in cm
BMR= Basal Metabolic Rate
Total calorie need = BMR x Activity factor x Injury factor

38. REFEEDING SYNDROME
Metabolic complication = in severely malnourished patients
Potentially fatal condition - may be successfully managed
- prevented if detected early
Pathophysiology
Metabolism shifts : catabolic -> anabolic state
Insulin is released - triggering cellular uptake of K+, PO4, Mg
Profound depletion those electrolyte extracelullarly
-hypo PO4, hypo Mg, hypo K+, hypo Ca multiorgan dysfunction
PN initially delivered = maximum of 10 kcal/kg/day
= raised gradually to full needs within a week
39. Ways to wean off TPN
PN may rapidly discontinued patient tolerating tube feeding
Reduced PN volume by 1/2 for 1-2 H before discontinued it
minimize rebound hypoglycemia
Enteral feeding initiated patient’s GIT function resume
Initiation enteral feeding GIT function
minimal risk of aspiration
patient motivation.
40. COMBINATIONS OF ENTERAL AND PARENTERAL
FEEDING
>60% of energy needs cannot be met via the enteral
route, e.g. in high output enterocutaneous fistulae
partly obstructing benign or malignant gastrointestinal
lesions which do not allow enteral feeding.
ESPEN Guidelines of Parenteral Nutrition 2009
41. ENTERAL NUTRITION VS PARENTERAL
NUTRITION
Studies have shown that:
There are no significant differences in mortality rate
There are no significant differences regarding length of hospital
stay.
ESPEN Guidelines on Enteral Nutrition 2006
Enteral feeding Parenteral feeding
Lower risk infection Higher risk infection
Decreased cost Increased cost
Lower incidence
hyperglycemia
Higher incidence
hyperglycemia
42. TAKE HOME MESSAGES
1. Malnutrition leads to prolong stay, prolong recovery period and
increased medical cost
2. Normal caloric requirement = 30-35kcal/kg/day
Metabolic stress =35-40kcal/kg/day
3. Use enteral feeding unless contraindicated
4. Low osmolarity PN (<900mOsm/L) given via peripheral line
5. In high risk patient to develop re feeding syndrome, we should
start with low calories
6. Parameters that required daily monitoring are glucose,
electrolytes, FBC, I/0 and temperature

Editor's Notes
The general indications for nutritional support
in surgery are in the prevention and treatment of
undernutrition, i.e. the correction of undernutrition
before surgery and the maintenance of
nutritional status after surgery, when periods of
prolonged fasting and/or severe catabolism are
expected. might suggest that malnourished patients were those
with decreased inmunocompetence.
30-35=20-30% from fat
The stress of surgery or trauma increases protein and energy requirement by creating a hypermetabolic and catabolic state
Se albumin: half life 18-20 d, low levels are markers of negative catabolic state and a predictor of poor outcome, levels r low in surgery, hepatic and renal disease, critical ill
Se tranferrin: half life 8-9d, reflects protein status over last 2-4 weeks, also reflects iron status therefore low value reflects low protein status in setting of normal iron
Nitrogen balance:
Mantains GIT mucosal integrity ( physical and immunity barrier) - reduces bacterial translocation
It includes oral
nutritional supplements (ONS) as well as tube
feeding via nasogastric, nasoenteral or percutaneous
tubes.
The main purpose using fibercontaining
formulae is feeding the gut to maintain
gut physiology, improving gastrointestinal tolerance
(e.g. prevention of diarrhoea and constipation)
and for glycaemic and lipid control.
(PN should be used when GIT is not functioning and in patients who cannot adequately enteral fed)-
If abrupt discontinuation of TPN cannot be avoided, 10% dextrose solution may be administered for a few hours and then discontinued
