16S rRNA Datasets of Gut Microbiota in Stent-Based Diverting Technique and Ileostomy from A Prospective, Open-Label, Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aims to characterize perioperative gut microbial signatures, assess alterations in microbial alpha/beta diversity and differential taxa abundance, identify core microbial biomarkers affected by fecal diversion and surgical intervention, and map dynamic gut flora variation induced by SDT and ileostomy.

Both ileostomy and minimally invasive SDT alter intestinal luminal conditions and fecal flow, thereby disrupting intestinal microecology and increasing risks of postoperative inflammation, stoma complications and gastrointestinal disorders; however, few studies have illustrated their effects on perioperative gut microbiota. This dataset fills the relevant microecological research gap, helps reveal microbial mechanisms of postoperative gastrointestinal complications, and provides evidence for targeted perioperative microecological intervention to optimize intestinal rehabilitation and reduce stoma-related adverse outcomes in this patient cohort.
