Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Duration of hsopital stay after surgery - Interactions of the microbiome within its community before and after surgery by high-throughput microbiomics - Concentration of bacterial metabolites in blood before and after surgery by gas-chromatography - Concentration of typical inflammation markers before and after surgery by standard laboratory analyses - Activity and nucleic acid expression patterns of immunocytes before and after surgery by RNA-analysis and single-cell sequencing - Incidence of clinical comorbidities before and after surgery
