Transplant Information

Transplantation period: fromMarch 5, 2020 – March 19, 2020
Number of transplants :3 times
Change from first transplant to end of transplant :
3 transplants conducted

【1st transplantation questionnaire】
Gas is the most common concern. Colonic or soluble stools occur in response to mental status. Feels restricted in activities and affected in socializing. Has anal insufficiency.

【2nd transplantation questionnaire】
Gas retention feeling is a little better. Defecation has improved, but it is still hard. Still too scared to take the train.

【3rd transplantation questionnaire】
Gas accumulation improved. Stools are good. No more putrid smell.

【Questionnaire at the examination】
His stools are in much better shape. He hopes the gas will settle down a little more.
Changes after completion of transplant :
Subjective symptoms (diarrhea, frequency of bowel movements, gas, etc.) are indicators. After the first transplant, gas retention improved and stools became slightly firmer; after the second transplant, abdominal and defecation symptoms continued to improve. In addition, the patient’s chronic nasal obstruction also improved. Although the chronic symptoms had not improved despite continued medical therapy at another hospital, the transplantation resulted in the formation of stools and no more leakage of soft stools due to anorectal insufficiency. Furthermore, the symptoms of abdominal bloating associated with excessive gas retention also tended to lessen, so a three-transplant course was also effective. Further improvement would be expected with additional transplants.
