The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of adding omega 3 and dipeptiven to standard feeding in head and neck patients who will undergo oral cavity tumour resection or mandibular tumour resection (immunonutrrition mixture) on wound infection, fistula formation and length of hospital stay ,total dose of intraoperative and postoperative opioids (opioid consumption and pain incidence ,mortality and other postoperative complications as urinary tract infection (UTI) and pneumonia.
Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS). A series of components that combine to minimize stress and to facilitate the return of function have been described: these include preoperative preparation and medication, fluid balance, anesthesia and postoperative analgesia, pre- and postoperative nutrition, and mobilization.
Nutrition therapy is the provision of nutrition or nutrients either orally (regular diet, therapeutic diet, e.g. fortified food, oral nutritional supplements) or via enteral nutrition (EN) or parenteral nutrition (PN) to prevent or treat malnutrition.
Head and neck cancer surgery usually means surgery to treat cancer of the mouth, throat or larynx . The surgery is complicated and people often experience problems such as wound infections and wound breakdown, as well as infections such as pneumonia.
The use of a nutritional supplement enriched with Omega 3 fatty acids is associated with a greater preoperative weight loss, reduced postoperative pain and decreased postoperative levels of C reactive protein in patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

| Total dose of intraoperative opioids | Total dose of intraoperative opioids was calculated in either group | Intraoperative |
| Total dose of postoperative opioids | Total dose of postoperative opioids was calculated in either group | 12 hours postoperative |
| Degree of pain | Postoperative pain will be assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS) every 4 h. for 12 h. Patients reporting VAS score (more than 3) will receive rescue analgesics. VAS (0 represents "no pain" while 10 represents "the worst pain imaginable"). | 12 hours postoperative |
