title: [A role and a place of ultrasound diagnosis of acute ileus].
abstract: The main purpose of the authors is to present their view of a place of present-day ultrasonography in the diagnosis of acute small and large intestinal obstruction. A comparatively sizable material covering 218 verified cases of acute ileus, including 77 patients with large intestinal obstruction and 141 patients with impaired passage of the intestinal contents along the small bowel was used to outline the aspects of ultrasound techniques and the symptomatology of ileus, by differentiating its some types. Along with the general assessment of the methodological and semiotic aspects of ultrasound diagnosis of acute uleus, the authors emphasizes a role of sonography in the detection of large intestinal obstruction by outlining their modified procedure of ultrasound irrigoscopy. For greater objectivization of their positive assessment of the place of ultrasound in the diagnosis of acute ileus and large intestinal obstruction, the authors comparatively studied X-ray and ultrasound studies to reveal this pathology. In addition to their purely personal assessment of a role of ultrasound in the diagnosis of large intestinal obstruction, the lecture also shows its authors' opinion as to the organizational issues associated with the necessity of correcting the existing diagnostic algorithm to detect large intestinal obstruction.
