by: Department of Dietetics, HPUPM Surgery represents a major stressor that disrupts homeostasis and can lead to loss of body cell mass. Integrated, multidisciplinary medical strategies, including enhanced recovery programs and perioperative nutrition support, can mitigate the surgically induced metabolic response, promoting optimal patient recovery following major surgery. The loss of muscle mass is a significant contributor to post-surgical complications, as the body relies on an adequate amino acid supply to heal and recover. Protein is, therefore, a key nutrient in the preparation and recovery of the surgical patient. #AskMYDietitian #MDD2020 #DietitianUPM #DietitianInAction
