Core Tip This retrospective study demonstrates that a multi-disciplinary team approach integrating Traditional Chinese medicine with standard Western medicine significantly enhances gut microbiome recovery after intestinal stoma closure. Compared to standard care, the multi-disciplinary team approach improved microbial diversity, reduced gastrointestinal symptoms, shortened hospital stays, and enhanced immunological, nutritional, and psychological outcomes. These findings highlight the potential of integrative medicine to offer a more holistic and effective strategy for improving postoperative recovery in this patient population, providing a novel direction for clinical practice.
