title: [Long-term block of thoracic vegetative nerve trunks in combined treatment of acute intestinal obstruction].
abstract: Results of treatment of acute intestinal obstruction with long-term block of the left thoracic sympathetic trunk, paraaortal and paraesophageal vegetative plexuses, vagus and posterior bronchial plexuses are analyzed. Compared with long-term epidural block this method permits one to reduce 2 times the rate of postoperative complications and lethality, to shorten the hospital stay by 5 days. Long-term block of thoracic vegetative nervous trunks provide manipulations out of structures of the spinal column and permits to influence directly both parts of the vegetative nervous system.
