Distal Gastrectomy with Billroth II Reconstruction is Associated with Oralization of Gut Microbiome and Intestinal Inflammation: A Proof-of-Concept Study

Abstract

SGB2 is associated with oralization of the gut microbiome; intestinal inflammation and microbiome changes were associated with gastrointestinal symptoms. These novel findings may open gut microbiome as a new target for therapy to improve quality of life and general patient health in long-term survivors after SGB2.
