Abstract:
:We operated on 138 patients for intestinal obstruction. The different causes are discussed and their pattern of occurrence is compared with that reported from England and other African countries. The 27.6% mortality rate was closely associated with the 28.2% incidence of gangrene. Factors which may lower this high mortality rate are enumerated.
