Abstract

This paper summarizes the experiences of nursing care of five patients with stoma after small bowel allotransplantation. The nursing care focused on observation of the survival,motility,secretion and other functions of early transplanted bowel,preparation and cooperation for colonoscopy,stoma care during enteral nutritional support,observation of the digestion,absorption and rejection of transplanted bowels. The five patients survived after operations. The stoma of transplanted bowels was ruddy and had a good circulation without complications such as rupture of skin around stoma. The patients gradually restored the normal diet by mouth.
