AIM To verify the utility of treatment with fecal microbiota transplantation(FMT) in patients with irritable bowel syndrome(IBS).METHODS We searched EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Pub Med in March, 2017. The reviewed literature was based on two systematic searches in each of the databases. The Me SH terms used were IBS and fecal microbiota transplantation and the abbreviations IBS and FMT. Reference lists from the articles were reviewed to identify additional pertinent articles. RESULTS A total of six conference abstracts, one case report, one letter to the editor, and one clinical review were included. In the final analysis, treatment of 48 patients was evaluated. Treatment revealed an improvement in 58% of cases. The varying structure of the nine included studies must be taken into consideration.CONCLUSION Data on FMT and IBS are too limited to draw sufficientconclusions. Standardized double blinded randomized clinical trials need to be carried out to evaluate the effect of FMT on IBS.
