OZ Aim: Intestinal microbiota plays a vital role for the function and integrity of the gastrointestinal tract. Recent studies indicate the efficacy of probiotics containing bacterial agents and microbiota elements on certain gastrointestinal diseases. The aim of our study was to investigate the improving effect of Bifidobacterium animalis and Lactobacillus BB-12 on the quality of life and depression by means of monthly tests on patients who underwent colorectal resection for benign reasons. Method: In our study 20 patients who underwent colorectal surgery for different reasons were given Bifidobacterium animalis and Lactobacillus BB-12. Their life quality and depression scores were evaluated monthly. Results: Although no statistical change was seen on three Beck Depression Scale with time improvements were observed in the physical function, physical role, emotional role, vitality and pain subgroup parameters on Short Form-36 life quality evaluation scale. Conclusion: Probiotics can be used as a supporting agent to restore the distorted intestinal microbiota of post-operation. Although probiotics don’t help to recover from post-operative depression, they are beneficial to life quality parameters through time. We believe that the efficiency of probiotics on post-operative period should be analysed with more studies.
