The Case

Daniela Hönninger
In the summer of 2025, the patient will attend her first appointment at Daniela Hönninger’s physiotherapy practice. By this point, she will have already undergone 25 abdominal operations, will be suffering from a severe bowel dysfunction and will have very little quality of life left. Once the decision to create a double-barrelled ileostomy has been finalised, it becomes clear just how important a strong network of specialists from a wide range of disciplines is.
The patient is 37 and has been diagnosed with, amongst other things, Hirschsprung’s disease with toxic megacolon and endometriosis. She has a double-lumen ileostomy, which unfortunately prolapses constantly.
