장관폐색증에 관한 통계적 관찰

Abstract

1. The author conducted analytical examinations of 176 cases of intestinal obstruction, which have been treated for the past three years at the department. 2. This study has been conducted based on such clinical records as sex, age. chief complaints, symtoms, causes , localities of obstruction, surgical procedures, results of operation, etc. 3. The most frequent cause was adhesion resulting from surgical operation. This shows a marked contrast as compared with the most frequent or the second most frequent causes , i.e. incarcerated hernia, in European countries. It is the authors opinion that careful attention must be paid to adhesion following operation. 4. Congenital anomalies in the intestinal tracts in infants including intussusception were not infrequent. 5. It has been concluded that careful review of nutritional problems following resection of long intestinal segment is necessary. 6. Intestinal obstructions resulting from mesenteric thrombosis were also frequent.
