[Intestinal microbiota alterations after digestive tract reconstruction surgery and their impacts on host physiology].

The gut microbiota, acknowledged as the human body's 'second genome', plays a pivotal role in maintaining health. Digestive tract reconstruction surgery profoundly alters the anatomical structure and physiological environment of the gastrointestinal tract, thereby inducing significant shifts in the intestinal microbiota. These microbial changes subsequently influence host physiological functions through metabolic, immune, neuroendocrine, and other pathways. For instance, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery enriches short-chain fatty acid(SCFA)-producing Bacteroides, improving systemic insulin sensitivity. Conversely, pancreaticoduodenectomy leads to a marked enrichment of potential pathobionts such as Klebsiella and Clostridium, which may elevate the risk of infections and tumor recurrence. This review comprehensively summarizes the characteristic changes in the gut microbiota following various digestive tract reconstruction procedures and discusses their multifaceted impacts on host physiology, aiming to provide insights for future experimental research and clinical practice.
