Brief Title: Additional Effects of Perioperative Immunonutrition in Patients Undergoing Pancreaticoduodenectomy
Official Title: Additional Effects of Perioperative Immunonutrition on Th1/Th2 Differentiation in Patients Undergoing Pancreaticoduodenectomy
Study ID: NCT01969110
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether perioperative immunonutrition has additional effects on cell-mediated immunity in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Detailed Description: The investigators reported that perioperative immunonutrition had no additional effects compared with preoperative immunonutrition in patients underwent colorectal surgery (Braga M, Gianotti L, Vignali A, Carlo VD. Preoperative oral arginine and n-3 fatty acid supplementation improves the immunometabolic host response and outcome after colorectal resection for cancer. Surgery. 2002; 132:805-14, PMID: 12464864). Object of this study is to investigate the additional effects of perioperative immunonutrition on cell-mediated immunity and incidence of infectious complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
