obotic surgery is one of the types of minimally invasive surgery. In minimal surgery, miniaturized surgical instruments
have been utilized that fit through a series of quarter-inch incisions. When performing surgery with the Da Vinci
Si- the world’s most advanced surgical robot-these miniaturized instruments are mounted on four separate robotic arms,
allowing the surgeon maximum range of motion and precision and has 3-D camera. Robotic surgery provides less trauma
on the body, minimal scarring, faster recovery time. Medical nutrition therapy comprehends oral nutritional supplements,
enteral or parenteral nutrition after surgery. To acquire convenient healing and functional recovery, a metabolic response is
indispensable, but this needs nutritional therapy especially when the patient is malnourished and the stress/inflammatory
reply is prolonged. Nutrition therapy is the verdict of nutrition or nutrients either orally including regular diet, therapeutic
diet, fortified food, oral nutritional supplements or by Enteral Nutrition (EN) or Parenteral Nutrition (PN) to cure or treat
malnutrition.
In order to reduce perioperative discomfort including anxiety oral preoperative carbohydrate treatment (instead of
overnight fasting) the night before and two hours before surgery should be administered. After operation, especially
for gastrointestinal system, the intake of a hypo-osmolar 12.5% carbohydrate rich drink has been shown to reduce
postoperative insulin resistance.
After minimal invasive surgery, oral preconditioning with glutamine, antioxidants, and green tea extract versus placebo
elevated plasma vitamin C concentrations significantly and improved total endogenous antioxidant capacity without
reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory response. It can be difficult to bounce back after an operation, but a number of
vitamins, minerals and antioxidant nutrients can support the recovery of patient after minimal invasive surgery operations.
Studies have shown that long used vitamin K, which promotes blood clotting, to help heal incisions in patients after
surgery and also aids in building strong bones. Vitamin K1 is present in many foods, especially leafy green vegetables
including cabbage and spinach, broccoli, brussels sprouts, spring onions and is also present in liver, cow's milk, egg yolk
and some cereals. With antioxidant properties many times more powerful than those found in better-known nutrients
(including vitamin C and vitamin E), grape seed extract is a heart-smart and cancer-smart botanical. The mentioned
antioxidants have been improved vascular health, has been protected brain cells, and has been increased overall well-
being through consuming as ideal supplement after surgery. Besides, coenzyme Q10 may play a role as cancer prevention
agent and may show positive effects on heart attacks and other diseases concerning free radical damage. The major
function of coenzyme Q10 is as a catalyst for metabolism; it manages the complex chain of chemical reactions while food
convert into energy packets which the body can use.
The fat in fish contains a form of polyunsaturated fatty acids called omega-3. These differ from the polyunsaturated fatty
acids found in vegetable oils (called omega-6), and they have different effects on the body. The two most potent forms of
