Effects of Preoperative Immunonutrition on Infectious Complication and Th1/Th2 Differentiation in Patients Undergoing Pancreaticoduodenectomy


The investigators reported that preoperative immunonutrition improve the incidence of
postoperative infectious complication in patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy, and
modulation of Th1/Th2 differentiation may play important roles in this effect.

Object of this study is to investigate the effects preoperative immunonutrition on incidence
of postoperative infectious complication, and Th1/Th2 balance after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
