ω-3 Fish Oil Emulsion Reduces Delayed Gastric Emptying Risk

In patients undergoing Roux-en-Y reconstruction for gastric cancer, ω-3 fish oil fat emulsion significantly decreased the incidence of delayed gastric emptying (DGE) from 15.5% to 4.3%, highlighting its protective role. The intervention group also experienced a shorter median hospital stay of 10 days compared to 13 days for controls. Multivariate analysis further solidified ω-3 supplementation as an independent protective factor against DGE, supporting its integration into enhanced recovery protocols for surgical patients.
