The characteristics of the intestinal microbiota in high-risk colorectal polyp recurrence and their relationship with disease pathogenesis have not yet been fully elucidated. This study aims to analyze the microbial community characteristics in the intestinal mucosal tissue of patients after polypectomy with recurrence of colorectal polyps. Additionally, this research holds significant importance for understanding the etiology of adenoma recurrence and develop a microbiota and metabolite-based predicting tool.
