Summary
Cholecystectomy (CCE) significantly alters the gut microbiome, leading to dysbiosis. Further research is needed to fully understand these changes and their clinical impact.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Microbiology
- Surgical Outcomes
Background:
- Cholecystectomy (CCE) impacts bile acid circulation and gut microbial composition.
- Understanding these post-CCE gut microbiome alterations is crucial for clinical management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review the effects of CCE on gut microbiome composition.
- To clarify the clinical implications of CCE-induced gut dysbiosis.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search across PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus.
- Included studies analyzed gut microbiome changes post-cholecystectomy.
- Study quality assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale.
Main Results:
- 14 studies revealed significant, though inconsistent, gut microbiome alterations post-CCE.
- Changes observed in microbial diversity (alpha and beta) and phylum/genus abundance.
- Specific shifts noted in conditions like post-cholecystectomy diarrhea and syndrome.
Conclusions:
- Patients undergoing CCE exhibit significant gut dysbiosis.
- Detailed structural and functional gut microbial changes post-CCE remain unclear.
- Further investigation is warranted to elucidate CCE's precise impact on the gut microbiome.

Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.

Bacterial Flora of the Large Intestine
377
The gut microbiome is formed by a vast and diverse community of bacteria that colonizes our large intestine. These bacteria start residing in the gut from birth and continue diversifying throughout life, influenced by factors such as diet, lifestyle, and stress. The gut bacterial community also includes bacteria from food and those that enter the colon through the anus.
The normal gut flora of the colon plays a critical role in generating essential vitamins such as vitamins K, B5, and B7.

What is Monogastric Digestion?
70.5K
The human body contains a monogastric digestive system. In a monogastric digestive system, the stomach only contains one chamber in which it digests food. Several other animal species also have monogastric digestive systems, including pigs, horses, dogs, and birds. This chapter, however, focuses on the human digestive system.

Appendicitis-I: Introduction
88
The appendix, a small, narrow, blind tube extending from the inferior part of the cecum, is widely regarded as a vestigial organ, having lost much of its original function through evolution. Despite its diminished role, the appendix can become inflamed, a condition known as appendicitis.
Etiology: Appendicitis can arise from various causes, primarily rooted in the obstruction of the appendix lumen. Factors contributing to this obstruction include fecal accumulation, lymphoid hyperplasia and, in...

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...
