[Use of preparations with sympatholytic activity for prevention and treatment of postoperative intestinal paresis]

For prophylaxis and treatment of postoperative intestinal paresis the authors employed in 1059 patients gangliolytics and drugs of sympatholytic action -- benzohexonium, aminazine, pyrroxane. An early sympathetic blockade after abdominal surgery was found to be effective both with respect to the prophylaxis of intestinal paresis and in treatment of grave functional disturbances of enteric motility, that develop in different abdominal complications.
