[Surgical indications status in ileus using a simple clinical index].
Based on a retrospective analysis of a group of patients with ileus disease in regard of the indication for operative intervention an "ileus index" was created which is derived from simple clinical and radiological findings and laboratory data. Prospective evaluation of this index showed its effectiveness in separating patients who had to undergo an emergency operation from those who could be operated electively after preceding diagnostic procedures or could be treated conservatively.
