[The childs-philips intestinal plication. A long term follow-up of 11 patients (author's transl)]

The authors report a long term follow up of 11 children who underwent a Childs-Philips intestinal plication from one to fourteen years ago. One death was caused by this operation. Besides, the tolerance of the Childs-Philips operation seems to be good, the nine other patients present a normal growth without any recurrence of the occlusion. The authors emphasize the interest of this bowel plication in the treatment of occlusion during the childhood.
