Core Tip This randomized controlled trial compared long-term immunonutrition (IMN) with conventional oral nutritional supplements in postdischarge colorectal surgery patients. Radical colorectal cancer surgery induces persistent nutritional deficiency and immunosuppression that may worsen after discharge, yet most IMN studies focus on the short-term perioperative phase, resulting in a notable lack of long-term postdischarge data. After the intervention, nutritional and immunological parameters were comparable between the groups, while the IMN group had a significantly lower incidence of postoperative infectious complications. Our findings confirmed that prolonged postoperative oral IMN optimizes nutritional profiles, enhances immune competence, facilitates subsequent therapy preparation and reduces infection risk in colorectal cancer patients.
