Key Points

To evaluate the effects of mechanical bowel preparation with antibiotics and probiotics on postoperative ileus following posterior lumbar surgeries.
Randomized controlled trial design
Focus on posterior lumbar spine surgeries
Emphasis on small sample size and limited-level procedures
Findings indicate the necessity for larger multicenter trials to confirm the effects of MBP on surgical outcomes.

Implication

Randomized trial investigates postoperative ileus in spinal surgeries, suggesting further multicenter research is needed.

Abstract

bly the relatively small sample size and the focus on limited-level posterior lumbar procedures.Expanded multicenter trials encompassing more extensive spinal surgeries may elucidate the role of MBP in various surgical contexts.We again express our gratitude to the readers for their perceptive remarks and the Editor for facilitating this significant academic discourse.
