Impact of Probiotics on Gut Microbiome During Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Elective Orthopedic Surgery
Sponsor: Acibadem Maslak Hospital
Summary
This study aims to evaluate whether probiotics can help maintain a healthy gut microbiome in patients receiving prophylactic antibiotics during elective orthopedic surgery. Antibiotics, while effective in preventing infections, can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria, leading to dysbiosis. The study hypothesizes that the use of probiotics during the perioperative period can prevent or reduce this disruption, supporting gut health and overall well-being. The research seeks to answer whether combining probiotics with routine antibiotic prophylaxis can preserve gut microbiome balance and improve patient outcomes.
