title: [X-ray contrast examination in surgery of adhesive intestinal obstruction].
abstract: The nature, frequency, and informative value of contrast X-ray examination of the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration of liquid barium in the adhesive disease and adhesive ileus were studied in two groups of patients (123 and 162 persons). Signs such as prolonged retention of the contrast medium in the small intestine and "sagging" of the intestine with the appearance of an X-ray contrast level in the absence of gases above it are of most diagnostic significance. Goal-oriented X-ray contrast examination made it possible to reduce the time needed for preoperative diagnosis, reduce the number of operative interventions in which the intestinal lumen is opened, and improve the immediate outcomes of treatment; mortality reduced from 19.8% to 10.5%.
