Improving the results of the intestinal obstruction treatment

: The results of surgical treatment of 517 patients with intestinal obstruction were analyzed. All patients had wide small bowel resections with primary anastomoses. The study demonstrated that the main survival predictive factors were: the age, general clinical condition, time before the operation, type of the anastomosis, resection volume of the adducent bowel loop and systemic complications. The increasing of the resectional volume and the use of "end-to-end" anastomoses lead to the statistically significant improvement of the treatment results.
