The S-romani inversion operation by the Hagen-Thorn method

In the practice of district hospitals, operations for intestinal obstruction are not uncommon. It must be confessed that these cases do not give much satisfaction to the surgeon, since they give a fairly large % of mortality due to the severity of the disease, and also because for the most part, patients seek help quite late. It is very clear that any new proposal to get operations in this area acquires great practical interest. The method of suturing the mesosigma according to Hagen-Thorn with the inversion of the S-shaped intestine is a significant step forward in the treatment of intestinal obstruction. Being very accessible from the technical side, it eliminates obstruction and guarantees against the repetition of inversions. All this is very important in the modest conditions of the district hospital.
