Intestinal Microbiota and Postoperative Ileus After Colorectal Surgery

Completed
Conditions
Postoperative Ileus
Surgery-Complications
Registration Number
NCT05512741
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Angers
Brief Summary

Postoperative ileus (POI) after colorectal surgery is frequent and is a burden for national health authority because it increases the morbidity and the length of hospital stay.

Some of the stage of the mechanism of POI are known and are now targeted to reduce its occurence but despite these measures, POI still happens in 10-30% of surgeries.

The role of the intestinal microbiota in POI is unknown while it could be a new target to reduce its duration or its occurence.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Composition of the feces microbiota before surgerywithin the 2 last days before surgery

The composition of the microbiota will be assessed by the analysis of the region V3 V4 of the 16S rRNA, amplificateur by high flow sequencing

Composition of the feces microbiota after surgeryup to the first postoperative stools, an average of 3 postoperative days

The composition of the microbiota will be assessed by the analysis of the region
