Effectiveness of Small Bowel Decompression Techniques in Patients With Small Bowel Obstruction

Multicenter Non-randomized Controlled Retrospective Study of the Small Bowel Decompression Techniques Comparative Effectiveness in Patients With Benign Small Bowel Obstruction

This study will compare results of different intestinal decompression techniques in patients with small bowel obstruction.

Taking into account the large number of different variations of intestinal decompression methods, a comparative analysis will be carried out based on one comparison group (I) and three main ones (IA-B). The comparison criterion will be a group of patients with nasogastric drainage as the only method of the gastrointestinal tract decompression during surgery and in the postoperative period. In the main groups more active methods of intestinal decompression will be performed, including drainage of the initial parts of the small intestine or total intubation, both single-stage intraoperative and its extended version
