Brief Summary: The aim of this trial is to compare preoperative Imunnonutrition with standard enteral nutrition regarding morbidity after major abdominal surgery in patients with NRS greater 3

The primary end point is the complication rate until 30 days after surgery
Detailed Description: Malnutrition affects about 20-50 of all patients in hospital 1 2 Major surgery further increases postoperative malnutrition and immunity reduction Therefore postoperative complication and infection rates after major surgery exceed 30 3-6

The nutritional risk score NRS 1 is based on the ESPEN European society of parenteral and enteral nutrition screening guidelines and identifies patients who are likely to benefit from nutritional support Patients with a NRS 3 are considered severely undernourished or to have a certain degree of severity of disease in combination with certain degree of malnutrition 7

In a prospective cohort study patients with a NRS ³ 3 had significant more infectious and overall complications after major abdominal surgery 4 7 8 Several studies showed a benefit by nutritional support on complications 3 5 6 International guidelines suggest therefore preoperative oral nutritional support for malnourished patients undergoing major surgery 9 However it remains controversial whether standard enteral nutrition SEN or immunonutrition IN is preferable 9

IN containing arginine ribonucleic acid and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids aims to improve the nutritional status immunological function and clinical outcome 5 10
