From 1957 to 1978, 211 intestinal obstructions were treated at Hôpital des Enfants malades, Paris: 103 coming from our own surgery, 108 from other surgical centers. 24,6% cases are observed in children less than one year old, after neo-natal surgery. 41% are observed between 5 and 9 years of age, at the "appendicitis period". 61% obstructions follow an appendicectomy. 74% of obstructions happen in the first year after surgery, of which 32% in the first month (the early mechanical intestinal obstruction between 8 days and 7 years after the first obstruction: 72% in the first year, of which 30,5% within the first month. Some precisions are given about clinical symptoms, site and intestinal lesions. The study of the preventive surgical procedures (Noble's, or Child-Philip's technics) are not included in this paper.
