Implementing the use of oligomeric formulas in surgical patients with maldigestion or malabsorption could be a nutritional strategy to be included in clinical protocols. We aim to generate knowledge from a survey focused on the effectiveness of nutritional therapy with oligomeric formulas with Delphi methodology. Each statement that reached an agreement consensus among participants was defined as a median consensus score \u22657 and as an interquartile range \u22643. The use of oligomeric formulas in surgical patients, starting enteral nutrition in the post-operative phase in short bowel syndrome and in nonspecific diarrhea after surgical procedures, could improve nutritional therapy implementation. Stakeholders agreed that early jejunal enteral nutrition with oligomeric formula is more effective compared to intravenous fluid therapy and it is useful in patients undergoing upper gastro-intestinal tract major surgery when malabsorption or maldigestion is suspected. Finally, oligomeric formulas may be useful when a feeding tube is placed distally to the duodenum. This study shows a practical approach to the use of oligomeric formulas in surgical patients with intestinal disorders and malabsorption, and it helps clinicians in the decision-making process.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu13061922","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,3]],"date-time":"2021-06-03T21:03:32Z","timestamp":1622754212000},"page":"1922","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Oligomeric Formulas in Surgery: A Delphi and Consensus Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Daniel","family":"De Luis Rom\u00e1n","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Investigation Endocrinology and Nutrition, Hospital Cl\u00ednico Universitario de Valladolid, Medicine School University, 47002 Valladolid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3359-5867","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eduardo","family":"Dom\u00ednguez Medina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research in Molecular Medicine and Chronic Diseases (CiMUS), 15782 Santiago de Compostela, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3127-5288","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bego\u00f1a","family":"Molina Baena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Universitario de la Princesa, 28006 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pilar","family":"Mat\u00eda-Mart\u00edn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Endocrinology and Nutrition Unit, Hospital Cl\u00ednico San Carlos, Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Sanitaria del Hospital Cl\u00ednico San Carlos (IdISSC), 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Galbraith, K., Ward, A., and Heneghan, C.
