Carbohydrate Drink Before Surgery May Speed Recovery
Part of Digestive system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares giving patients a special carbohydrate drink before planned abdominal surgery versus fasting to see if the drink helps them recover faster and feel better afterward. The goal is to understand whether this simple change can improve your recovery time and comfort after surgery.
