Article Synopsis
- Fecal matter transplantation (FMT) is increasingly being used to address intestinal issues, particularly in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), by transferring stool from healthy donors to restore gut microbiome balance.
- A systematic review of studies published until September 15, 2023, evaluated the efficacy and safety of FMT for treating pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), with most studies including microbiome analyses.
- While FMT has been found to be safe and can prompt clinical responses in some cases, the overall research is limited by the absence of randomized controlled trials, which affects the reliability of the findings.
