[Surgeon's strategy in recurrent adhesive intestinal obstruction].

The authors propose an individual decision on the character of treatment: strangulated intestinal obstruction should be operated immediately after making the diagnosis; treatment of adhesive intestinal obstruction should be started with conservative methods. Successful treatment, depending on the anamnesis and state of the patient, allows planned total enterolysis or conservative treatment of the peritoneal commissures. If the conservative treatment is not a success, the patients should be operated after normalization of homeostasis, and better in day time. Laparoscopic adhesiolysis in such category of patients is not indicated.
