Esophagectomy carries a risk of chyle leak, and this risk may be influenced by early enteral feed composition. We evaluated the impact of early enteral medium-chain triglyceride-rich feed on the prevalence and severity of chyle leak post-esophagectomy, length of stay, and postoperative weight change. This retrospective study included consecutive patients undergoing esophagectomy at a single center between January 2015 and December 2022. Patients received enteral feed on postoperative days 1\u20135 with Nutrison Energy or Protein Plus Energy (\u2018standard\u2019) (January 2015\u2013 June 2021) or Nutrison Peptisorb Plus High Energy High Protein (\u2018HEHP\u2019) enteral feed (June 2021 to December 2022). All patients transitioned to \u2018standard\u2019 supplemental jejunal feeding on postoperative day 6 onwards and were discharged on oral IDDSI level 4 diet. Patients who did not commence early enteral feeding were excluded from analysis. A total of 329 patients were included. Patients who received early HEHP feed had fewer chyle leaks (5\/52; 9.6%) compared with patients who received standard feed (68\/277; 24.5%, P\u2009=\u20090.017). The HEHP group had a shorter total length of hospital stay (P\u2009=\u20090.011). Weight change from preoperative baseline was equivalent in both groups at 6\u00a0weeks (P\u2009=\u20090.066) and 3\u00a0months (P\u2009=\u20090.400). In the context of routine jejunostomy use and early enteral feeding post-esophagectomy, HEHP feed on postoperative days 1\u20135 was associated with significantly fewer chyle leaks and shorter length of stay compared with standard feed. No difference was noted in postoperative weight change between groups.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/dote\/doae008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,17]],"date-time":"2024-02-17T07:39:49Z","timestamp":1708155589000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Impact
