Criteria of indication for operative treatment of ileus have not very much changed through the last years. Operation as soon as possible will bring the best results. Hence in most of the cases a temporary stoma can be avoided in favour of primary anastomosis. In case of recurrent ileus careful enterolysis is of great importance. Affixiation of the small intestine and application of tubes have not proved to be of value. They do not prevent relapse, are attended with complications and render every future operation difficult.
