Brief summary
The body composition of individuals undergoing tonsillectomy is assessed through bioimpedance-based measurements conducted immediately before the surgery, as well as on the 7th and 21st days during the postoperative period.
Detailed description
In the context of interventions affecting the upper alimentary canal-like tonsillectomy-, it is advisable to adhere to a gentle diet until complete wound healing. Additionally, patients may need to modify their eating habits due to discomfort during swallowing. Physical activity is strictly prohibited during this recovery phase, which poses a risk of muscle loss. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) play a crucial role in sports nutrition. Unlike other amino acids, BCAAs can be directly utilized by muscles without involving the liver. They serve as an immediate energy source for muscles or contribute to the synthesis of new muscle proteins, helping to prevent muscle loss. At the same time, the investigators also examined the changes that could be detected in the blood and were possibly related to dietary habits.
