INtestinal Dysbiosis and TRanslocation of Bacteria in Patients Undergoing Surgery
Sponsor: Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to contribute to a better understanding of the perioperative kinetics of intestinal microbial composition and association with surgical site infections. The main question this study aims to determine if: * Patients undergoing surgery develop transient intestinal dysbiosis * Such transient dysbiosis is associated with translocation to the systemic circulation and surgical site infection Patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery will be included prospectively. Informed consent will be obtained. From patients the following information and samples will be collected: * Perioperative: Baseline health data, nutrition data, measurement body composition, glucose monitoring * Intraoperatively: * Mucosal swabs * Blood from central venous catheter and portal vein * Mesenteric lymph node * Intestinal specimen * Bile * Subcutaneous biopsy * Postoperatively: * If a surgical site infection occurs samples from infected site
