The prevention of recurrence after colorectal adenoma resection remains an urgent medical issue to be addressed. Previous studies have mainly focused on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, calcium supplements, and vitamins. The gut microbiota and its metabolic products are believed to play a potential role in the development and progression of colorectal adenomas. Clostridium butyricum, a butyrate-producing probiotic, has not yet been studied for its potential in preventing the recurrence of colorectal adenomas following resection. Therefore, this study, designed as a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized controlled trial, aims to explore evidence-based data on the role of Clostridium butyricum in preventing colorectal adenoma recurrence.
