Background: Peritoneal air exposure is a common phenomenon in abdominal surgery, but
long-term exposure could induce intestinal inflammatory responses, resulting in delayed
recovery of gastrointestinal motility after surgery. High-fat enteral nutrition has been
reported to ameliorate inflammation in many diseases. In the present study, we investigated
whether high-fat enteral nutrition could control intestinal inflammation and
improve intestinal motility after peritoneal air exposure
