Breaking wind, breaking ground: new study links Post-Surgery gas to recovery
NCT ID NCT06675097
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether the amount and type of gas a person passes after abdominal surgery can help predict complications. Researchers will track 200 adults before and after surgery, asking them to record details about their gas. The goal is to see if gas quality can serve as an early warning sign for problems, potentially leading to a simple, non-invasive tool to improve recovery monitoring.
