compare the different prognosis between enteral nutrition (EN)
and parenteral nutrition (PN) in patients after gastrointestinal
surgery (GIS), and to investigate a reasonable regimen of
enteral nutrition (EN) after GIS. Randomized controlled trials
(RCTs) on EN/PN after GIS from 1970 to 2008 retrieved from the
data bank of Pubmed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library were analyzed.
Evaluation endpoints were anastomotic dehiscence, infection
(catheter sepsis, wound infection, pneumonia, intra-abdominal
abscess and urinary tract infection), vomiting and abdominal
distention, other complications, length of hospital stay and
mortality rate. Twenty-three RCTs including 2784 patients met
the entering criteria. Compared with PN, EN was beneficial in
the reduction of anastomotic dehiscence (RR = 0.67, 95%CI: 0.50
- 0.91; P = 0.010), infections (RR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.64 - 0.81;
P < 0.001), other complicati
