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 mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- 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.

Who is studied
Patients will be selected by the clinical members of the research team from within the population in our setting who will undergo abdominal surgery involving colorectal intestinal anastomosis. To identify patients, the Surgery Department will analyze those who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria designed for this project during the daily morning clinical session, and patients will then be offered the opportunity to accept/decline participation.
