    Author: Bazira L, Nsabimana C, Armstrong O.
    Journal: Ann Chir; 1989; 43(10):811-13. PubMed ID: 2619212.
    Abstract:
    The review of 123 cases of patients operated for acute intestinal obstruction emphasises the principal epidemiological factors and the necessity of a very brief delay between the first signs of obstruction and the therapeutic procedure. The high mortality in the series (25%) was due to the high incidence of necrosis observed (40%).
