Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), encompassing conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, present multifaceted challenges requiring a comprehensive management approach. Patients often necessitate a combination of medical therapy, surgical interventions, and nutritional support. Despite advancements in medical and dietary therapies, the prevalence of surgery remains high among the IBD population, alongside the persistent risk of malnutrition. Preoperative nutritional optimization has thus become a critical element in the perioperative pathway, given its association with improved surgical outcomes. However, standardized protocols for preoperative optimization of IBD patients are lacking, and available data are mainly retrospective.
This review provides an overview of the current knowledge on preoperative nutritional screening and optimization in IBD patients and identifies avenues for future research and clinical practice.
Interdisciplinary collaboration among healthcare professionals, including gastroenterologists, surgeons, dietitians, physiotherapists, and psychologists, is crucial for comprehensive preoperative nutritional management in IBD patients. By addressing the interplay between inflammation, malnutrition, and surgical risk, clinicians can strive to enhance surgical care and postoperative outcomes.
In conclusion, while recognizing the importance of preoperative nutritional optimization in improving surgical outcomes for IBD patients, challenges persist in standardizing management protocols. Prospective studies are needed to establish such protocols and evaluate the effectiveness of different nutritional strategies.
