[Therapy of ileus].
The mortality of intestinal obstruction increases with the time interval between beginning of symptoms and operation. Therefore the surgical treatment must be performed early. The evacuation of the bowel without opening is very important. Nearly half of our own patients has been treated by cutting off bands or adhesions. Resections were done in 21%. The problem of recurrent obstruction is not yet solved. The prophylaxis of adhesions seems to be very important.
