    Abstract:
    Malnutrition is common in the hospitalized surgical patient. There is a strong association between improved nutritional status and a favorable postoperative recovery, while malnutrition has an adverse effect on surgical outcome (Driscoll & Blackburn, 1990; Souba, 1997). Advances in providing parenteral nutrition have had a positive impact on nutrition care of these patients and will be reviewed in this article.
