title: [Operated mechanical ileus of the small intestine].
abstract: Causes, pathophysiology, diagnosis, therapy and a retrospective analysis of small bowel obstruction were reviewed. 85 patients were operated during a 5-year period. The etiology of obstruction were adhesions (45 cases), hernia (20 cases) and 20 other cases. The mortality rate for the series was 8%. The most important factor of prognosis is the early operative treatment.
