DIAGNOSTIC ROLE OF ULTRASONIC EXAMINATION IN ACUTE ADHESIVE INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION IN CHILDREN

Acute intestinal obstruction is one of the most common conditions encountered in emergency pediatric surgery. This paper presents the results of a survey of 47 children with acute adhesive intestinal obstruction treated at the Tashkent Pediatric Medical Institute from 2020 to 2022. Of the total number of patients, 43 underwent surgery for early adhesive intestinal obstruction. Surgical treatment was performed in two ways: open (12 patients) and laparoscopic (31 patients). Conservative treatment proved effective in 11 cases. Ultrasound was widely used for both primary diagnosis and dynamic monitoring of children receiving conservative therapy, allowing for an assessment of the condition of the intestinal wall and structure, as well as the restoration of peristaltic activity. Ultrasound examination plays an important role as a primary screening method to confirm or exclude acute adhesive intestinal obstruction, ensuring timely diagnosis and early inclusion of the patient in the treatment process.
