Gut bacteria may predict surgery complications

NCT ID NCT07416760

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at gut bacteria in 30 patients who had colorectal surgery. Researchers want to see if certain bacteria are linked to a higher risk of leakage where the intestine was reconnected. Participants provide stool samples before and after surgery. The goal is to understand how the microbiome changes and whether it can predict complications.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help identify gut bacteria patterns that predict complications after colorectal surgery, potentially guiding future preventive strategies.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study (30 people) that only looks for associations, not treatments. It may not find clear patterns or lead to direct clinical changes.
