title: [Parenteral feeding after total gastrectomy (author's transl)].
abstract: The authors report on 2 cases of radical gastrectomy for cancer. Parenteral feeding composed of amino acids, solutions of lipids and carbon hydrats insures an intake of 2,500 to 4,000 calories per day in the immediate postoperative phase. Daily nitrogen and measurement of the different blood and urine parameters make it possible to estimate the daily needs of these patients and to provide for a smooth recovery.
