Brief Summary: This study aims to evaluate whether probiotics can help maintain a healthy gut microbiome in patients receiving prophylactic antibiotics during elective orthopedic surgery. Antibiotics, while effective in preventing infections, can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria, leading to dysbiosis. The study hypothesizes that the use of probiotics during the perioperative period can prevent or reduce this disruption, supporting gut health and overall well-being. The research seeks to answer whether combining probiotics with routine antibiotic prophylaxis can preserve gut microbiome balance and improve patient outcomes.
Detailed Description: This double-blinded, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of probiotics on maintaining gut microbiome balance in patients undergoing elective orthopedic surgery who receive routine prophylactic antibiotics. Antibiotics, while essential for reducing the risk of surgical site infections, are known to disrupt gut microbiota, leading to dysbiosis, an imbalance in microbial composition. Dysbiosis can compromise gut health, reduce microbial diversity, and impair metabolic functions essential for recovery.

The study explores whether a dual-strain probiotic with Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMO) can prevent or minimize dysbiosis during the perioperative period. By comparing patients receiving routine antibiotics alone with those receiving antibiotics plus probiotics, this trial seeks to identify if probiotics can preserve gut microbial diversity and function.

To assess the impact, fecal samples collected at specific time points will undergo detailed microbiome analysis, including metrics such as microbial richness, diversity, and such. Secondary measures will evaluate the broader effects on patient well-being during the recovery period.

This study is designed to provide evidence for the potential role of probiotics as an adjunct therapy to maintain gut health during antibiotic use, offering a novel approach to improving post-surgical recovery and patient outcomes.
