Fecal transplant for patients with recurring C. diff
A fecal transplant (also called fecal microbiota transplant, or FMT) is a minimally invasive, same-day procedure that places the stool from a healthy person into the GI tract of an infected individual to repopulate the gut with healthy bacteria.
A fecal transplant is performed through endoscopy/enteroscopy or colonoscopy, and generally, only one procedure is required.
