title: [The efficacy of the Childs-Phillips mesenteric plication in intestinal obstruction].
abstract: From 1975 to 1988 we studied and valued fourteen pediatric patients, treated in the Department of Pediatric Surgery at Children's Hospital La Paz, with the Childs-Phillips procedure by postoperative recurrent bowel obstruction. Ten newborn infants had the following diagnoses: intestinal atresia, 4; Bochdaleck hernia, 3; Hirschsprung disease, 2; intestinal rotation anomalies, 1. Four patients out of neonatal period had: hiatal hernia, 1; intussusception, 1; appendicitis, 2. Six patients had more than one episode of bowel obstruction. The follow-up was 6.5 years (range four months to 13 years), and no recurrent bowel obstruction occurred.
