  • Title: [Occlusive syndromes in pregnancy and puerperium. Apropos of 2 cases].
    Author: Gabriel H, Cornet J, Barral G.
    Journal: Sem Hop; 1983 May 19; 59(20):1523-5. PubMed ID: 6308774.
    Abstract:
    The authors recall the aetio-pathogenesis of intestinal obstruction in pregnancy and stress the difficulty of the diagnosis. They insist upon the importance of a simple and rapid surgical procedure which can be completed in the post-partum period if need be to prevent further episodes. From the obstetric point of view, the pregnancy usually progresses favourably, provided that an early delivery is induced routinely. Vaginal delivery is permissible, but should be assisted. The maternal prognosis depends on how early the diagnosis is made, but usually seems to be favourable. However, foetal mortality still remains high, between 10 and 15%.
