Core Tip
Core Tip: The role of early oral feeding (EOF) after laparoscopic radical total gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer (GC) is unclear. In this prospective cohort study, we focus on the safety, feasibility and short-term outcomes of EOF in GC patients. Our results showed that EOF promoted the recovery of gastrointestinal function, improved postoperative nutritional status, reduced length of hospital stay and expenses while not increasing the incidence of related complications, which indicated the safety, feasibility and potential benefits of EOF for GC patients.
