Impact of surgical field disinfection on vaginal microbiome in transvaginal urogynecological surgery: a prospective cohort study
These findings highlight the impact of povidone-iodine on vaginal microbiota composition during vaginal urogynecological surgery. Disinfection significantly increased vaginal bacterial diversity and reducing Lactobacillus abundance. This observation requires further exploration in the context of development of optimized disinfection protocols aimed at preserving vaginal health during and after surgery.
