Response to the letter to the editor: Effect of mechanical bowel preparation with antibiotics and probiotics on postoperative ileus in patients undergoing posterior lumbar spine surgeries: a randomized controlled trial
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.
