[Tactics of the surgical treatment of acute intestinal obstruction]

The results of treatment of 184 patients with acute ileus of non-tumour genesis operated on at the clinic within the period of from 1981 to 1990 are presented. In elimination of ileus without the surgical intervention, together with intensive therapy, intestinal decompression was used. Of 19 patients with acute ileus associated with peritonitis operated on, 12 underwent resection of the intestine. The use of enterosorption as well as extracorporeal hemosorption contributed to elimination of endogenous intoxication.
