Assessment

Primary outcomes

1) Incidence of postoperative infectious complications (pneumonia, suture dehiscence, wound infection) of Clavien-Dindo Grade 2 or higher
2) Incidence of nausea/vomiting, abdominal distension, and diarrhea of Clavien-Dindo grade 2 or higher

Key secondary outcomes

2) Maximum daily bowel movements from POD1 to discharge
3) Maximum daily Bristol Stool Scale from POD1 to discharge
4) Measurements of blood inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6) and intestinal barrier markers (LBP, Zonulin), and oral and fecal microbiota at three time points: preoperatively, postoperatively, and at discharge
5) Pathological findings
6) Prognosis (presence or absence of survival and recurrence, postoperative survival period and disease-free survival)
