“…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.

“…Recurrent small bowel obstruction after this procedure occurred in 11 of 217 patients from nine series 12 . However, there is a risk of interference to mesenteric vasculature, especially if the sutures are tied too tightly to occlude the vessels.…”

“…Wilson (1964) reported 7 deaths and 24 recurrent obstructions among 127 Noble procedures. The modification introduced by Childs and Phillips (1960) takes less time but it may also be associated with complications, and when used in patients with peritonitis carries a high mortality (McCarthy, 1975). Thus, a safer and quicker operation would be welcome, and intestinal intubation seems a worthwhile alternative.…”

Operative intubation in the treatment of complicated small bowel obstruction

Intestinal intubation carried out at laparotomy for complicated small bowel obstruction is not yet a generally accepted technique. Experience in 32 patients has shown that it is safe and effective. The procedure was initially described in North America for use in recurrent adhesive small intestinal obstruction but the indications have been extended and it has proved of value in other difficult situations. A technique for intubation is described and the results obtained in various clinical situations are given.
