27 cases of intestinal obstruction primarily treated conservatively by means of Miller-Abbott-tubes are presented, technical details, clinical results, indications and risks of the procedure discussed. The controlled placement of the tube using a gastroscope rules out technical failures. Fifteen patients were cured, 2 patients removed the tube; in 8 cases the procedure turned out to be ineffective; they were cured by laparotomy. The separate monitoring of gastric and intestinal secretion permits early prognosis in respect to efficacy. Two patients died. Strict limitation of indication is of decisive importance. The method is highly effective in early postoperative intestinal obstruction--apparently of mechanical as well as of paralytic origin. In our experience, the possible mistaking of anastomotic leakage for postoperative ileus is practically negligible. For acute admissions with intestinal obstruction of unclear origin, however, the procedure should only be aimed at the resotration of general condition before surgery. In spite of the fact, that some cases of late postoperative intestinal obstruction could be cured conservatively, the risk of delaying operations of utmost necessity in cases of strangulation, incarceration and perforation is too high.
