title: [Treatment of bowel obstruction in our own experience].
abstract: The intestinal obstruction accounts for the 20% of the acute surgical affections and represents one of the most common indications for the urgent surgery. The clinical scenarios of the intestinal occlusion are rather diversified, with a series of signs not always contemporary present, since they are related to the site (left colon in most cases) and type (neoplastic, by adhesions, or hernia complication) of the obstruction. The authors report their experience about 149 patients clinically observed and treated along a period of 7 years and 3 months.
