title: [Mesenteric plication by the Childs-Phillips method for the prevention and therapy of small intestine obstructions. Experiences in 148 cases].
abstract: Transmesenteric small bowel plication (Childs-Phillips) was performed in 148 patients (99 adults, 49 children) at the University Clinic of Würzburg over a 10-year period. Of a total of 31 reinterventions, only 4 were caused by the method; recurrent intestinal obstruction occurred in 6.1%. In a total of 51 patients peritonitis was present at the time of mesenteric plication, which is not considered a contraindication for the method. Early postoperative mortality was 38.5%, but in none of these 57 cases was it due to the method itself.
