Abstract

The paper gives data on potential benefits to a patient and a surgeon from introducing probiotics into clinical practice to treat surgical diseases. Numerous studies have demonstrated a lower risk for surgical site infections, anastomotic incompetence, and pulmonary and urologic complications when the probiotics are used. An attempt has been made to summarize available information about this and to give specific recommendations for the choice of a probiotic, its dosage, and the frequency and duration of its use in surgical patients.
