Abstract

Abstract A study of the alterations of intestinal microflora that occur in acute small and large bowel obstruction is presented. The results are discussed in relation to the duration of obstruction, the site of obstruction, the recovery following relief of obstruction and the septic complications which profoundly aflect the prognosis of these common surgical emergencies.
