The nutritional support of the patient is paramount for the healing of the gastrointestinal tract. Malnourished patients are at increased risk for dehiscence. The addition of a feeding tube is very important to support the anorectic patient in the post‐operative period as the enterocytes are getting their nutrients mostly from the intestinal content traveling in the lumen. Vitamin A, C, and B6 are required for collagen synthesis. Iron and copper are also important for the cross‐linking of protein and tissue healing. The enteral nutrition is beneficial for the integrity of the gastrointestinal tract and prevent bacterial translocation (Thornton and Barbul 1997; Marks 2013).
