title: [Our experience of parenteral nutrition (PN) in general surgery].
abstract: The problems caused by malnutrition in postoperative complications are well know as is the importance of parenteral nutrition (NP). Thanks to the improvement in instruments and methods, NP can be used not only in intensive therapy departments, but also in less well equipped ones. The Authors report their experience of the use of NP in 77 patients from January 1978 to December 1989 treated in the Surgical Department of the Civil Hospital of Susa (TO), USSL 36, Regione Piemonte.
