title: Surgical treatment of intestinal occlusions in advanced ovarian carcinoma.
abstract: The Authors report encouraging results concerning the surgical treatment of intestinal occlusions in 31 patients affected by advanced ovarian carcinoma. They stress the need for an increasingly accurate association of chemotherapy and aggressive surgery and underline the vital role that total parenteral therapy has to play in improving these results which are, nevertheless, satisfactory.
