Beneficial Alterations of Intestinal Microbiota in Chronic Cholecystitis Patients Treated With NOTES Gallbladder-Preserving Surgery

Abstract

Conclusion: Patients with benign gallbladder disease and chronic cholecystitis after N-GPS treatment for over 1 year improved gut microbial community structure. With the improving bile acid metabolism, SCFA-producing bacteria increased and pathobionts decreased, which helped the intestinal microbiota structure of BG group at YPO stage restore and close to HC group.
