Microbiome Manipulation in Coloproctology

Microbiome manipulation has garnered increasing interest in coloproctology for its potential therapeutic benefits in various colorectal diseases. This abstract provides a succinct overview of the current landscape of microbiome manipulation in coloproctology, highlighting emerging strategies and their clinical implications. It discusses approaches such as probiotics, prebiotics, faecal microbiota transplantation, and dietary interventions, emphasizing their role in modulating the gut microbiota and impacting disease pathogenesis. Furthermore, the abstract explores the potential applications of microbiome manipulation in conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer, and functional bowel disorders, underscoring the need for further research to elucidate their efficacy and safety profiles in clinical practice.
