Parenteral nutrition in gynecology.

Over a three-year period, 88 gynecology inpatients received 99 courses of parenteral nutrition. Indications included a variety of circumstances in patients with both benign and malignant conditions. Complications were infrequent and generally without significant sequelae. A correlation was noted between nutritional status and clinical outcome, indicating a need for continued monitoring of nutritional status during parenteral nutritional support.
