The sample was divided into 2 subgroups: one received a personalized nutritional management with the factor of injury in the calculation of baseline requirements, for its part, the second group received standard postoperative nutritional support, corresponding to the control group.The most significant results were:43.9% were at low risk, 16.67% at intermedíate risk, and the same proportion 16.67% of the high risk, only 22.8% had no preoperative nutritional risk.The incidence of complications study group: 3.1% in patients with nutritional management as nutritional risk, 7.5% in patients with conventional nutritional management, and 20% in patients who were not evaluated. The most common complications found in these patients are 31% local infections, ileus, abdominal 22%, 19% local abscesses, fístulas 13%, 9% suture dehiscence and septic shock in 6% of patients.
