- Abstract:
- Research background: Colon surgery is a common surgical procedure, but anastomotic leakage of the colon can occur after surgery, an unpredictable complication that may require reoperation. Studies have shown that potential pathogenic bacteria such as Pseudomonas, Enterococcus &c can promote the occurrence of colonic anastomotic leakage by degrading collagen and activating tissue matrix metalloproteinase-9. Therefore, the microbial community is key to preventing anastomotic leakage after colon surgery.
