Abstract
When preparing the bowel for surgery using purgative cleansing of either oral polyethylene glycol versus 0.9% normal saline enemas, the degree of dysbiosis is the same and is temporary recovering toward normal by postoperative day 30. When examining all infections, independent of treatment group, it appears that many infections arise from among the gut microbiota
