    Abstract:
    The long-tube decompression was used for treatment of 54 selected patients with diagnosis of early postoperative intestinal obstruction. For this purpose a silicon double-lumen wire-guided tube has been endoscopically introduced into the proximal portion of the small intestine. In 40 cases continuous decompression of the small bowel brought about a successful resolution of intestinal obstruction by nonoperative therapy. Failure of the conservative treatment within the first 48 hours after intubation has led to operation in 14 cases. Six patients died in this series (4 patients died of multiple organ failure, 2--of thromboembolism). The study has shown that the method can be successfully used.
