[Diagnostic and treatment program in acute adhesive obturative obstruction of the small bowel].

Clinical classification of acute adhesive obturative obstruction of the small bowel is presented. Four stages of acute obstruction are distinguished. The proposed treatment and diagnostic program permitted to predict the course of obstruction, specify indications for surgical and conservative treatment, determine the terms of preoperative preparation. This program permitted to decrease the number of operated patients to 16% and decrease lethality in acute adhesive obturative obstruction of the small bowel to 1,67%.
