Tiny bugs, big clues: Crohn's surgery study peers inside the gut

This study looked at 11 adults with Crohn's disease who had surgery to remove damaged parts of their intestine. Researchers compared two surgical methods—Kono-S and standard side-to-side—to see how each affected the gut's bacteria and immune cells. The goal was to gather clues about why some surgeries work better than others, not to test a new treatment.
