After colonic diversion from the fecal stream, luminal nutrients for bacteria are expected to be depleted, inducing changes in microbial composition. In this study, we describe microbial changes in the healthy colon following surgical fecal stream diversion, studied in the surgically constructed sigmoid-derived neovagina.

This study aimed to assess the histopathological characteristics of the sigmoid-derived neovaginal epithelial lining after diverting surgery and correlate these with clinical findings.
