The rapidity with which these factors act varies with the length of intestine involved, the degree of arterial and venous obstruction and the location of the lesion.No attempt will be made to review the extensive literature on the subject of intestinal obstruction. Only those articles which have dealt with experimentally produced strangulation will be briefly summarized. Von Albeck2 was the first to |
