The aim is to conduct a comparative and comprehensive assessment of the effect of early enteral nutrition on wound healing processes in the zone of small intestinal anastomosis in Chinchilla rabbits after resection of a segment of the small intestine. Materials and methods: after resection of the small intestine segment, a comparative analysis of the morphological picture of the healing of small intestinal anastomoses in experimental animals in the early postoperative period was carried out when two variants of nutritional support were included in the postoperative management program: early enteral and full parenteral nutrition. Results: the data obtained allow us to reliably assert that when using early balanced enteral nutrition, it leads to acceleration and optimization of wound healing processes in the zone of formed small intestine anastomosis.

Keywords: early enteral nutrition, parenteral nutrition, small intestine resection, small intestine anastomosis, epithelialization of the small intestine mucosa.
