Intestinal Stoma for a Patient with Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy Showing Severe Diarrhea

Abstract

A 38-year-old male patient with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy underwent the operation for making the intestinal stoma because of his severe watery diarrhea. After the operation, his new colon function was normal without any particular troubles. He did not have to pay much attention for the diarrhea especially at night. This therapy may be very beneficial for him because he had been restricted his daily life by severe diarrhea.
