title: [Effect of intestinal necrosis in the postoperative prognosis of acute intestinal obstruction. Experiences with 123 cases surgically treated at Bujumbura Hospital (Burundi)].
abstract: The review of 123 cases of patients operated for acute intestinal obstruction emphasises the principal epidemiological factors and the necessity of a very brief delay between the first signs of obstruction and the therapeutic procedure. The high mortality in the series (25%) was due to the high incidence of necrosis observed (40%).
