MODERN IDEAS ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTESTINAL PARESIS: PRINCIPLES OF DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT

Abstract

At present, paresis of the gastrointestinal tract is considered as smooth muscle insufficiency, manifested both in individual organs and in body systems. Intestinal paresis is a frequent and dangerous complication in elderly and elderly patients with acute adhesive intestinal obstruction, affecting the mortality rate in the postoperative period, which remains high and ranges from 13 to 55%. The detection of early signs of paresis and the choice of the most effective methods of its treatment remain the determining factors for the successful treatment of such patients.
