Malnutrition is a major issue in gastrointestinal perioperative situations, as only 40% of malnourished patients are finally treated. This literature review investigates the inconsistencies regarding the diagnostic approach to both preoperative and postoperative patients and the various underlying causes, as well as the efficiency of the various therapeutic regimens. A literature search was conducted until August 2023 in MEDLINE and Scopus. Clinical studies involving perioperative nutritional assessment in adult gastrointestinal surgery patients during the last 10 years were included in the present review. Finally, 19 articles were included in the study. Preoperative nutritional therapy is increasingly recognized as a key component of surgical care. Malnourished patients who are hospitalized and operated on, have significantly worse clinical results. Gastrointestinal postoperative malnutrition coexists with metabolic stress, as patients usually suffer from minor chronic inflammations; therefore, postoperative malnutrition is the result of a combination of the effects of inflammation and a lack of food intake. Postoperative malnutrition leads to prolonged hospitalizations and hospital complications and therefore the need to treat it is essential. There are many recognized tools for detecting malnutrition. However, all tools showed inconsistent results regarding their validity. Per os feeding after surgery, and dietary supplements when necessary, have been recommended. Therefore, it is very important to reduce malnutrition and define clear strategies towards that direction.
