title: [Prognosis in mechanical ileus].
abstract: A retrospective analysis was made of 160 patients who had undergone surgical treatment for complete mechanical ileus over a period of ten years. These 160 account for 2.18 per cent of all surgical patients in the period under review, which suggested that complete mechanical ileus had been the most common surgical emergency. Primary lethality was as high as 24.4 per cent. Age, time of occlusion, and accompanying diseases were substantive factors of prognosis. Prognosis can be improved by early diagnosis.
