title: [Clinical experience on the use of total parenteral nutrition in patients subjected to radical cystectomy intervention for infiltrating neoplasms of the bladder].
abstract: The Authors report their 7 year follow-up on the use of T.P.N. in 28 patients treated surgically for infiltrating cancer of the bladder. They consider the pathogenetic mechanisms that influence the organism's adaptation to surgical stress with particular reference to the multiple neuroendocrinal and biochemical interconnections. The procedures to define the nutritional/metabolic levels, of the patients undergoing operation are exposed. The T.P.N. is given according to the personal requirements of each patient and is a function of the "performance status", caloric need and to the presence of sepsis. Problems concerning the radical cistectomy such as: time of surgery, extention of exeresis, uroentheroanastomosis, metabolic variations, sepsis, etc., are evaluated. Considering the positive results obtained with this nutritional procedure, the Authors underline the importance of a systematic use of T.P.N. wich should be included, in their opinion, in a multidisciplinar treatment of advanced bladder neoplasms.
