Patients undergoing surgery for gynecologic malignancies are at high risk of complications due to population, patient, disease, and surgical factors. The nutritional status of the patient provides the foundation for recovery after surgery, and opportunities to optimize outcomes exist from the first patient assessment to the early days after surgery. This review highlights the importance of nutritional assessment and intervention during the pre-operative and post-operative periods in the context of ERAS in gynecologic oncology surgery. The emerging role of immunonutrition, carbohydrate loading, and the importance of individualized care are explored. Evidence from studies in gynecologic oncology is presented, where available, and extrapolated from colorectal and other cancer surgery trials when applicable.</p> <section id="kwd-group1" class="kwd-group"><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> ERAS, enhanced recovery after surgery, gynecologic/oncology, nutrition</p></section></section><section id="sec1-nutrients-11-01088"><h2 class="pmc_sec_title">1. Introduction</h2> <p>Gynecologic malignancies are a diverse set of diseases that affect women from all demographic and cultural backgrounds. The heterogeneity of gynecologic malignancies presents a unique nutritional challenge; ovarian cancer patients often present at an advanced stage, and up to 20% are clinically malnourished [<a href="#B1-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B1-nutrients-11-01088">1</a>]. Conversely, endometrial cancer is often diagnosed at an early stage and is associated with elevated body mass index (BMI) and insulin resistance [<a href="#B2-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B2-nutrients-11-01088">2</a>,<a href="#B3-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B3-nutrients-11-01088">3</a>]. Within cervical cancer patients, rates of malnourishment vary considerably; up to 60% of patients with stage IV disease are malnourished while this rate is only 4% in those with stage I disease [<a href="#B1-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B1-nutrients-11-01088">1</a>]. Further complicating matters is the nature of treatment regarding gynecologic malignancies; radical surgery is often a necessary element in the treatment of advanced disease [<a href="#B4-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B4-nutrients-11-01088">4</a>]. Nutritional status is a marker of perioperative morbidity and mortality [<a href="#B4-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B4-nutrients-11-01088">4</a>], and obesity and insulin resistance are independent risk factors for perioperative morbidity [<a href="#B5-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B5-nutrients-11-01088">5</a>]. The diverse demographics and disease-related differences of this population create a challenge for clinicians caring for patients in the perioperative period.</p> <p>This review examines the major sections in perioperative nutritional care as it relates to gynecologic oncology and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) recommendations and explores patient populations where treatment should be individualized.

Pre-operative fasting policies are not without harm; prolonged states of fasting lead to increased insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, catabolic metabolism, and muscle breakdown [<a href="#B43-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B43-nutrients-11-01088">43</a>].</p> <p>Even though the actual risk of pulmonary aspiration remains low [<a href="#B44-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B44-nutrients-11-01088">44</a>,<a href="#B45-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B45-nutrients-11-01088">45</a>], the practice of “nil per os (NPO)” has continued for decades and has only recently been challenged.

Many studies and reviews have now compared perioperative stress with high-performance athletic activities, as the two events have similar demands regarding nutritional requirement, anaerobic metabolism, and oxygen requirements [<a href="#B17-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B17-nutrients-11-01088">17</a>,<a href="#B46-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B46-nutrients-11-01088">46</a>]. Pre-operative fasting leads to a fasted state, thereby reducing liver glycogen stores, increasing insulin resistance, and increasing the post-operative stress response. Post-operative hyperglycemia is independently associated with increased morbidity and mortality [<a href="#B27-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B27-nutrients-11-01088">27</a>,<a href="#B47-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B47-nutrients-11-01088">47</a>,<a href="#B48-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B48-nutrients-11-01088">48</a>,<a href="#B49-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B49-nutrients-11-01088">49</a>].</p> <p>Numerous studies have now shown that a clear fluid diet up to 2 h pre-operatively does not increase gastric content, reduce the pH of the gastric fluid when compared with fasting, or increase complication rates [<a href="#B15-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B15-nutrients-11-01088">15</a>]. Gastroparesis, peritonitis, and conditions associated with delayed gastric emptying have not been well examined and require further investigation. Care should be paid to situations with functional dyspepsia, increased estrogen/progesterone levels, autonomic neuropathy, and states of increased stress until more research is performed.

With the caveat of the aforementioned special instances, the intake of clear fluids until 2 h before surgery and a six-hour fast for solid food is now recommended by most anesthetic guidelines [<a href="#B13-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B13-nutrients-11-01088">13</a>,<a href="#B16-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B16-nutrients-11-01088">16</a>,<a href="#B17-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B17-nutrients-11-01088">17</a>,<a href="#B18-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B18-nutrients-11-01088">18</a>].</p></section><section id="sec4-nutrients-11-01088"><h2 class="pmc_sec_title">4.

Post-Operative Nutritional Care</h2> <p>Fears around complications associated with feeding have led to historical avoidance of food in the post-operative period. Patients have traditionally been advised to take nothing by mouth, with a slow progressive diet through clear fluids, full fluids, and solid diet. Although recent strides have been made to combat this surgical myth, change has been slow, leading to increased nutritional issues in patients, slowing recovery and worsening outcomes.</p> <p>The maintenance of an appropriate nutritional status in the post-operative period is recommended and supported [<a href="#B10-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B10-nutrients-11-01088">10</a>].

Studies in gynecologic oncology surgery have demonstrated reduced length of stay, as well as improved time to first flatus, without increased rates of complications. Most studies have demonstrated equivalent or even improved complication rates, with no differences in anastomotic leaks, wound healing, or pulmonary complications [<a href="#B35-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B35-nutrients-11-01088">35</a>,<a href="#B37-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B37-nutrients-11-01088">37</a>,<a href="#B58-nutrients-11-01088" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="B58-nutrients-11-01088">58</a>]. A consequence of early feeding is a higher rate of nausea, but with modern post-operative nausea and vomiting regimens, there has been no increase in vomiting or nasogastric tube insertion.

In 2015, a Cochrane review by Short et al. examined 81 studies with 9072 patients. Gum was found to reduce the time to first flatus and time to first bowel movement in both colorectal and caesarean section patients.

Conclusions</h2> <p>Perioperative nutrition management is a crucial component of any ERAS protocol. Examination of the patient should begin prior to surgery, with appropriate clinical assessment and screening for malnutrition. Malnourished patients should receive optimal nutritional supplementation, beginning with enteral feeds and using parenteral methods if necessary. Ideally, treatment should begin 7–14 days pre-operatively. Avoiding a fasting state prior to surgery can be achieved by limiting fasting times and carbohydrate loading both the night before surgery and 3 h pre-operatively. Post-operative nutrition should be started immediately after surgery and can be advanced rapidly. Nutritional management should be tailored to specific patient needs and comorbidities using evidence-based decisions whenever possible. Multiple benefits from aggressive nutritional treatment can be achieved with a collaborative and multi-disciplinary approach, harnessing physicians, anesthesiologists, nurses, and dieticians.</p></section><section id="notes1"><h2 class="pmc_sec_title">Author Contributions</h2> <p>S.B., G.N., and A.A. contributed to the conception, design, and drafting of the review.
