title: Nutritional Support of Patient with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
abstract: Ideally, surgical patients should be nutritionally optimized, as better nutritional status correlates with favorable outcomes during the perioperative period. As inflammatory bowel disease often leads to overall malnutrition, special consideration should be given to this patient population by surgeons. In this article, we review methods for nutritional assessment and provide nutritional recommendations for this special surgical population.
