    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore the therapeutic method and efficiency of chronic radiation enteritis with intestinal obstruction. METHODS: Clinical data of 51 patients of chronic radiation enteritis with intestinal obstruction from Aug. 2001 to Dec. 2006 were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: The mean time from the ending of radiation to the occurrence of obstruction was (11.9 +/- 22.6) months. Conservative treatment, intestinal resection-anastomosis, enterostomy, bypass operation and enterolysis were applied and performed in above 51 cases. Two patients could not receive operation because of wild metastasis. One died of peritoneal bleeding after operation. Forty-eight cases were cured and the curative rate was 94.1%. CONCLUSION: Therapeutic regimen should be chosen according to nutritional status and intestinal impairment in chronic radiation enteritis with intestinal obstruction.
