Overview
Brief Summary
This is a single-center, unblinded, prospective observational study, and the objective is to compare the effects of enteral nutrition via nasojejunal tube and parenteral nutrition via vein on patients' early recovery and prognosis who undergo tumor cytoreduction for ovarian cancer.
Detailed Description
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal disease among gynecological malignancies, and its treatment is a comprehensive one mainly based on surgery. The perioperative nutritional status of patients affects their postoperative recovery, subsequent adjuvant therapy, and their prognosis. Hence, nutritional support therapy should be initiated for such patients in the early postoperative period to prevent further malnutrition. Conventional postoperative nutritional support therapy is performed through parenteral nutrition via vein, while the application of enteral nutrition via the nasojejunal tube in the postoperative period of ovarian cancer has not been reported in the literature. Therefore, in this study, the investigators took advantage of the characteristics of long surgical incisions and the wide surgical scope of ovarian cancer to investigate the effects of placing a nasojejunal tube during the operation and early enteral nutrition on postoperative recovery and prognosis in patients with advanced ovarian cancer, with the aim of accelerating the postoperative recovery of the patients, decreasing the incidence of postoperative complications, supplementing adjuvant chemotherapy in time, improving the survival outcome of the patients with advanced ovarian cancer, and providing gynecologists with a basis for enteral nutritional support therapy via nasojejunal tube after ovarian cancer surgery. In this study, the patients placed with a nasojejunal tube during the operation and enteral nutrition after the operation were included in the observation group, and the patients without a nasojejunal tube and parenteral nutrition after the operation were included in the control group. And the two groups were compared in terms of the indicators of postoperative recovery, the incidence of complications within the 30 days after operation, the cost of hospitalization, hospital stay, the interval between the operation and the first chemotherapy, the survival outcome, etc. The data involved in the study came from patient files, hospital databases, and long-term follow-up results.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Quality of life scores
Time Frame: postoperative days 3
To assess patients' quality of life scores on postoperative day 3 according to functional assessment of cancer therapy-ovary cancer (FACT-O) vision 4.0, with a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 156. The higher scores are, the better quality of postoperative survival is.
Serum sodium and potassium
Time Frame: postoperative days 7, and 14
To record the patient's serum sodium and potassium on postoperative days 7 and 14 according to biochemical results.
Abnormal liver function
Time Frame: postoperative days 7, and 14
To record the number of patients with abnormal liver function within 30 days postoperatively according to biochemical results. Abnormal liver function was defined as serum alanine aminotransferase and/or aspartate aminotransferase higher than 2.5 times the upper limit of normal values.
Serum albumin
Time Frame: postoperative days 7, and 14
To record the patient's serum albumin on postoperative days 7 and 14 according to biochemical results.
Intervals from surgery to the initiation of postoperative exhaustion and defecation
Time Frame: one month after surgery
To record intervals from surgery to the initiation of postoperative exhaustion and defecation according to the medical record
The hospital stay after surgery and intervals from surgery to initiation of postoperative chemotherapy
Time Frame: one month after surgery
To record the hospital stay after surgery and intervals from surgery to initiation of postoperative chemotherapy according to the medical record
Incidence of complications postoperative complications
Time Frame: one month after surgery
To record the incidence of complications patient's postoperative complications for 30 days according to medical records, including: fever, intestinal obstruction, intestinal fistula, thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, poor incision healing, etc.
Hemoglobin
Time Frame: postoperative days 7, and 14
To record the patient's hemoglobin on postoperative days 7 and 14 according to routine blood results
The cost of hospitalization of peri operation
Time Frame: one month after surgery
To record the cost of a patient's hospitalization of peri operation according to the medical record
Abnormal renal function
Time Frame: postoperative days 7, and 14
To record the number of patients with abnormal renal function within 30 days postoperatively according to biochemical results. Abnormal renal function was defined as serum creatinine and/or urea higher than 2.5 times the upper limit of normal values.
Secondary Outcomes
- Incidence of complications related to nasojejunal tubes(one month after surgery)
- Survival outcomes(three years after surgery)
