“…Noble's suture plication of the small intestine was one such method, while transmesenteric plication, in which the mesentery, rather than the bowel, was plicated to ensure favourable lie, was another; both techniques are not popular due to their associated morbidity. [6][7][8][9] The alternative strategy involved the use of drugs or chemicals to prevent adhesions, of which steroids, streptokinase and dextran are noteworthy for their popularity (if not their efficacy). [10][11][12] More recently, hyaluronate preparations have become popular although their success remains debatable.…”

INTRODUCTION Intestinal intubation with a Jones' tube has been suggested to reduce the incidence of recurrent adhesive bstruction. This paper describes our experience of this technique. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective case-note review was performed on 68 patients admitted to a teaching hospital who re identified as having had the Jones' intestinal tube placed over an 11-year period from 1980 to 1991, with a follow-up to 2003. The indication for placement and outcome following placement of the tube were documented with particular reference to recurrence of adhesive small bowel obstruction. RESULTS Data on 63 patients were available. Of these, 7 had the Jones' tube placed prophylactically after pouch surgery and re thus excluded from the main study. Of the remaining 56 patients, all had the Jones' tube placed for recurrent adhesive small bowel obstruction with a median follow-up of 92 months, representing 353 patient-years. In 51 patients, the Jones' tube was placed during emergency surgery, while five others had it placed electively. A total of 1.7 cases of adhesive small bowel obstruction per 100 years of patient follow-up were identified following use of the Jones' tube compared to 12.9 cases per 100 patient-years prior to the use of the Jones' tube. CONCLUSION Intestinal intubation with a Jones' tube is a safe and effective method of preventing recurrent adhesive obstruction.

“…Many surgeons believe it is essen¬ tially impossible to prevent at least some degree of adhe¬ sion formation after such an operation. Noble,' in 1937, was the first to use intestinal adhesions to his advantage. The Noble plication consists of suturing the small bowel in loops with serosal stitches so that adhesions can eventually fix the bowel in gentle curves.…”

“…Mit einem postoperativen Ileus muß bei etwa einer von 100 Laparotomien gerechnet werden [28]. Zur Prophylaxe und Therapie eines Adhä sionsund Bridenileus wurde eine ganze Reihe von Methoden (Miller-Abbott-Sonde, Baker-Sonde, Noble-Operation) entwickelt und propagiert, von denen die meisten nur noch historische Bedeutung besitzen [2,9,10,24,26]. Die Methode nach Childs-Phillips basiert auf der Grundidee von Noble; durch operative Maßnahmen soll eine gerichtete Adhä sionsbildung erreicht und damit der Abknickung der Darmschlingen mit erneutem Ileuszustand vorgebeugt werden [9,26].…”

During the past 7 years 45 patients have been operated upon using the Childs-Phillips method. Of those, 37 were subsequently examined for the study--7 patients had died in the meantime. None of the deaths occurred as a direct result of transmesenteric small-bowel plication. An early recurrence of intestinal obstruction occurred in 4.4% and a laparotomy was repeated. During the most recent examinations 86.5% of those patients checked had (virtually) no complaints--91.9% based upon the Visick classification. A subtotal intestinal obstruction occurred during the period of the study in 8.1% of cases, but could be conservatively treated. Up until the most recent examination there were still no instances of a late recurrence. Most intestinal obstruction recurrences are due to errors specific to the technique and are early recurrences. On the basis of our results, we are of the opinion that plication in the presence of existing peritonitis, as well as partial plication, is acceptable.
