Abstract

While it is relatively easy to recognize a large, strangulated intestinal obstruction, in many cases small, localized areas of necrosis cannot be diagnosed with any degree of certainty. Ideal treatment in any case consists of (1) adequate administration of fluid and electrolytes, (2) surgical exploration and (3) excision of devitalized bowel and restoration of gastrointestinal continuity when gangrenous intestine is found at operation.
