[INSTRUMENTAL DIAGNOSIS OF ADHESIVE ILEUS]

Results of diagnosis and treatment of 48 patients, suffering an acute adhesiv eileus of small intestine, were analyzed. In 22 (45.8%) patients conservative therapy have appeared effective, in 26 (54.2%) — operative interventions were performed. Тransabdominal ultrasonographic investigation — noninvasive, available, highly informative diagnostic method — permits to differentiate various forms of an acute ileus precisely, and, comparing with roentgenological method, it is more secure and simple, which may be used even in a severely ill patients. The method permits to diagnose an acute adhesive small intestinal ileus in a shorter terms, and to determine severity of changes not in intestine only, but in adjacent abdominal organs as well.
